MATRIX VISUAL COIN ASSEMBLY

INTRODUCTION

The “Matrix” is a breathtaking and visual routine. Four coins, placed in a square layout on your close-up

pad and each covered with a card, magically assemble one at a time under the same card. The flight of

the coins, as they disappear and reappear, looks as close to real magic as it gets. Best of all, you start and

finish COMPLETELY CLEAN with just four regular cards and coins.

The basic handling of this routine owes much to the genius of Al Schneider, whose original concept

revolutionized the coin assembly effect – eliminating the need for difficult sleight of hand or gaffed coins

and/or cards.

Now it’s time to pull out your close-up pad and get to work!

Requirements

You’ll require four coins, four cards and a non-slip close-up pad. The coins you use are up to you. I would

recommend coins similar in size to US or Canadian quarters, UK 10-pence coins, etc. You’ll find they work

well and are just the right size and weight. If you like, you can even borrow the cards and coins from your

audience. The close-up pad is important for a number of the reasons, not the least of which, it will facilitate

your ability to grip the coins with the cards.

Learning the routine

In order to make this routine easier to learn and understand, it’s divided into two distinct phases. The first

phase, “DEALING THE CARDS,” takes us from the preliminary positioning of the coins on your close-up

pad through to covering each with a playing card. The second phase of the routine, “FLIGHT OF THE

COINS,” deals with the movement of the coins as they magically travel, one at a time, to assemble

under a single card.

PHASE I - DEALING THE CARDS

What your audience should see

At the beginning of the effect, each coin is simply covered with a playing card. As far as your audience

is concerned, that’s “all” there is to the sequence of moves you are about to learn in Phase I. They are

not difficult, but they do require practice. Rehearse them until you can perform them smoothly and without

pretense. Therein lays the key to the success of this effect.

You have a tremendous advantage here, because as far as your audience is concerned, “THE TRICK

HASN’T STARTED YET!” So don’t hurry or alert them to the fact that you are “doing” something. Phase I

should appear to your audience as if you are just covering up each coin with a card.

What you are really doing

Now for the real work: In reality, what you are doing when dealing the cards is stealing the first coin

and adding it to the second. This sets things up for the “one-ahead” principle that forms the basis of this

routine. The third and fourth coins are actually covered up (without any subterfuge) as they appear to be.

So with cards In hand and coins positioned as shown in Photo 1, let’s proceed. At the beginning of the

routine, you should be holding four cards, squared up and face down in your left hand in the dealing

position.

Now, one point that bears attention, the cards are

not dealt off in a conventional manner, but rather

the right hand takes a card and the left hand hold-

ing the remaining cards “moves.” In this way, the

coins are masked from view as they are covered.

This is important, because as you cover the first

coin, see Photo 2, the edge of your left first finger

is going to engage the coin and slide it backward

to join the second coin. During this process, the

backside of your left hand drags across the pad

covering the steal. Photo 3 shows the position of

your hand at the completion of this move.

Next, place the second card down to cover up both

coins as shown in Photo 4. Remember, the right

hand with its card remains stationary, while the left

hand holding the rest of the cards moves. Photo 4a

shows an exposed view of the two coins now both

under the lower left hand card.

Photo 3

After placing the first two

cards down, the third and

fourth cards are dealt in

the same manner –

except the remaining

coins are actually covered

up this time without alter-

ing their position. No coin

is stolen. See Photos 5 &
