Another great review sir! You are the best :)

Great review, Jeff! I received this little book on Friday and, like you, read it in one sitting yesterday. Understanding that it is focused on a particular skill set, I read it straight thru to get an overall view of the principles involved. Now I will go back through it again, coin in hand, and begin the more challenging aspect of actually putting in the effort to learn the techniques described. Agreed that the cost of admission could be considered a bit steep for such a slim volume, yet even so I have to say a couple of lines in the book literally made me laugh out loud which is always a wonderful bonus. Overall I’m happy with A Florin Spun and will recommend it to others who may be interested in developing routines based on controlling a coin toss.

Seems we have a similar approach - thanks for chiming in!

This book interests me primarily because I have my own technique for the controlled coin toss which I’ve been doing for about 20 years and I’d just like to see if it’s the same idea. I’m not sure that I want to spend the money just to find out though, even though the book looks interesting, I doubt that I’d switch techniques if I read it so I’d really only be buying it to find out!

[@EruditeMagic]

Ha! That's interesting that you came up with your own technique. What prompted you to do so?

I appreciate a smaller, hyper-focused book like this, but I don't have much interest in a controlled coin toss. Thanks for the review, though!

[@EruditeMagic]

You bet, Jim

Really cool book, a bit expensive I suppose but it's nice. Wish it had a few more ideas for stuff using the toss to be honest, some ideas for a close up routine or something, but either way I bought it and learned it and it mostly works for me, happy with the purchase and appreciate the focus

Great to hear!
