I saw someone do the two-card matrix routine at the TAOM back in 1971. I am not sure who to credit? If anyone knows where this phase of the routine first appeared in print, please comment below.

I think I know who came up with this coin trick! It was me but now I have since been reincarnated...... 😃👍💯

You actually taught me something that has nothing to do with the routine... its the mirror set up and close up pad.. what a great way to practice and see what the people see.

Agree, it is one great coin trick. So lucky I got to spend some time with David Roth and Dean Dill.👍

David Roth was magic!! His close up magic was special. We shared a birthday so I could not believe it when he passed away in 2021. You were fortunate to have met him and witnessed his amazing talent closeup😉

One amazing magician and a super nice guy. He worked at Magic Mansion at Circus Circus here in Las Vegas for a couple of years in the early 1970's.👍

I just do wonderful seeing good magic done great! I love the line, keep your eyes on the coins, keep you eyes on my hands and keep your eyes on me. Such a great and funny tension breaker. Thank you for sharing Allan!👍🤓👍

This is my favorite performance of Shadow coins I've seen. I'm curious where the instant matrix (all 4 coins at once) idea originated. MJ

@@allanackerman4848 So after almost 2 weeks, I'm doing your sequences here. Honestly, I'm a bit bummed out, because I'm 75% of the way there (sequence, not patter) and am missing a few subtleties. I'm afraid to give anything away here, so if you're open to it, I'd love to PM you or chat about it. If not, I totally understand. I want to do it justice and perform it for laymen :)

Love this! Watched it twice. Thanks.

I always like to know the history of an effect. When working for laymen I do leave that part out, but when working for my fellow magi I always try and credit.

I'm curious why you don't credit to Michael Amar? That is where I learned it.

@allanackerman4848

Michael - the first part of the routine is what I saw David Roth do -- probably in 1972, it might have been 1973, the two years he was in Vegas running the magic shop at Circus Circus Hotel and Casino. It was not until the early nineties I saw Michael do the routine. He added some beautiful moments to the effect, e.g., it looked like your hands never came close to the coins. It felt like your hands were about 6 inches above the ground. But when you add something, sometimes you lose something - you now had to have the audience view looking downward. So, I never did use that approach. But yes -- Amar's version is more magical looking -- and he is the one that made the effect famous. So, thank you for your comment -- I should have mentioned Amar.

Are you a fan of sleight of hand by Edwin sachs ? You mention his name a lot on your channel so I assume yes but can you tell me why it’s such an important book ?

Yes -- so many classics like ACAAN , Chink-a-chink, etc. There are 5 methods of ACAAN in that book. Still in print after 100+ years - that says something👍

It is in the first issue of Apocalypse. You can search for it on KZread and I think will find a few versions with explanations. The first part using the two cards is in Stars of Magic.
