- I learned it from David Harkey, but instructions also appear in David Roth's
- 'Coin Magic' and maybe 'Expert Coin Magic.' I believe it's "Hans Ping Ching."
- I don't think Bobo's deals with it... could be wrong.

- I'm a big fan of the 'Jump Shuttle Pass' as tought by David Harkey. If you're
- keen on Coins Accross, David Williamson has a good one that's ultra direct in
- his book (the routine is 'Cross eye'd coins accross').

- It may no longer be in printer, but there was a book called "The Ambitious
- Card Omnibus" that has a lot of moves to accomplish this feat. I never
- got it when I saw it because I pooh-pooh'd cards for the beginning of my
- magic career.

- Good luck,
