The Dance and The Boogie by Danny Goldsmith

Summary of everything you’ll learn in these two projects…

​

The Dance

The Dance is a simple, no-frills plot: Coins jump around, from one hand to the other in the cleanest and most surprising of manners. Each move can be performed independently for a squeaky clean, quick hit trick, or elegantly stacked.

Tumbling Muscle Click Pass

Picking up on the work of masters Shoot Ogawa and Akira Fuji, Brian has added a retention of vision element to the basic muscle click pass, creating a devastatingly convincing illusion. You’ll learn how to perform this with half dollars, Morgan dollars, quarters, or even borrowed rings and keys. As a bonus, you’ll learn how to pass up to three coins at once, making for an instant three coins across.

Casual ROV Muscle Click Pass

A variation of the Tumbling Muscle Click Pass that employs retention of vision with a more casual tossing motion.

Flash Transfer/Shooter Split

This technique combines principles from Arthur Buckley, Shoot Ogawa and Dan Sylvester to create an absolutely invisible coin transfer- even under intense scrutiny and with less than ideal angles. 

Tenkai Pennies (Goshman Pinch/Pointing Transfer)

Brian shares his personal touches on a classic of coin magic.

The Basic Muscle Pass

With a full understanding of how frustrating it can be to learn this move, Brian explains in great detail what got him over the hump and what will get you there too. If you’re serious about coin magic, learning this sleight is an absolute must. No excuses, you can do it!

​

The Boogie

​

The Boogie Move​

​

This is the sleight that allows you to perform all of the effects you saw Danny showcase above. It is a perfect substitute for the muscle pass and genuinely laughably easy to learn.

​

Boogie Production

​

Two simple components that will take 2 minutes to learn and are easily practiced. This will not be a frustrating learn, beginners could have the components down in seconds.

​

Boogie Coins Through Glass

​

This is a very simple application of the production you will have just learned. The only thing you’ll have to practice is your hand alignment.

​

Boogie Coins Across

​

Again, this is genuinely very easy to learn – which is shocking for how clean the routine looks. There are two moves and both can be learned easily by beginners and pros alike.

​

Bonus thoughts

​

• A wonderful way to produce a coin from midair which gets great reactions from spectators.

• Produce a coin from an empty hand with zero motion when your hand opens.

• A discussion on all the ways you can use the resting catapult to replace the normal muscle pass.
