- Could someone please send a reference for the "Ham Ping Chien" (sp.,
- sorry I should have written correct spelling down) coin pass, or
- something that accomplishes the same effect? It's referred to
- in a coins-across routine in "The Magic of Michael Ammar". (I hate it
- when they do that! At least now I have a good reference for
- the Hamman count etc. via "Counts, Cuts, Moves and Subtlety.")
- Any favorite coin passes that I could focus on? References through
- Bobo's would be fine as I have that. Also looking for close-up
- move where magician takes signed card back from audience member and
- seems to slip it face down in the middle of the deck (it appears stuck
- halfway down the deck, jogged out half way), pushes it into the deck,
- but then after riffling the deck the signed card appears on top (or
- he can vanish it). I've been playing with two moves that might
- accomplish the effect (palm covering forced jog) but I'd like some
- other ideas.
-
- Follow up via posting please. (*If it is a reference*. If you have
- the moves or suggestions, you can *try* via mail, but our mail from the
- outside world hasn't been working for days [btw: still nothing Bruce,
- but thanks for your efforts! I'm still beating up on them to get it
- fixed!]).
-
- Thanks in advance,
- Ron
