Coin'cidence by Unknown Mentalist (PDF eBook Download)

This is a routine which defies categorization. It is inexplicably weird and amazingly powerful.

It can be performed with your own coins or borrowed coins. With your own business cards or borrowed business cards. It can be performed with real coins or even with imaginary coins.

The performer makes a prediction on the back of his business card and keeps it face down in full view right before commencing the routine. A participant is asked to make a free choice from among 5 coins, real or imaginary. After the participant lands on a coin, the prediction is turned over and it matches the participant choice exactly. And the performer ends up giving a stunning souvenir to the participant which she will treasure as a lucky talisman and will be cherish it for a long time.

This is completely self working. No sleights, no pre show, no stooges, no electronics, no dual reality, no verbal manipulation, no multiple outs, no equivoque, an impromptu anytime-anywhere routine which can also be done totally prop less (if you do not consider business cards or pens as props). Although a variation each is given which uses basic equivoque in one and a basic multiple out in another, the main routine does not need either.

This routine can also be looked at as a 5-coin, no equivoque, self working version of Max Maven's Positive/Negative. Only, instead of the heads or tails option, here the participant is given 5 possible choices, which increases the odds multifold. There are 250 possible outcomes and your prediction hits 100% exact. A bonus routine is also explained where the 5 coins can all be different and the final prediction also includes this choice.

It can be performed as an independent routine by itself or as a killer addition to any other coin routine or bill routine. It can be used as a great opener or an equally great closer to any close up act. Or can be just performed as a stand alone effect. But the maximum impact is in a one on one situation. This can become another highlight in any coin worker's act. It is also invitingly easy for non-coin workers. In fact, it is especially tempting for mentalists.

It is a versatile routine. It can be used as a pure mentalism routine or as a coin routine or even as a mental magic routine.

If the author could hand out over 1900 of his business cards over the past decade with just this one routine to over 1900 different people, imagine how many you can hand out of your own. And like the experience of the author, if about 10% of these resulted in gigs (about 200), just imagine the mind boggling power of this routine. If you agree to pay the author a dollar for each time you perform this, you may easily end up paying over 10,000 dollars or more in your lifetime (though, I am sure you will never agree!!!)

You will do this every day to every new person you meet. Guaranteed.

This is coin mentalism. This is Coin'cidence.

"Coin'cidence is a nice routine that offers a new twist to a time honored principle that has always appealed to me and inspired many - Bruce Bernstein
