This is the part where I mention that this work is copyrighted @2011, and where I also somehow convey the idea that it's not really nice to copy - and especially distribute - any part of this document by any means. However, when it comes to the ideas in this book, if you find one or more you like, please take ownership. Make them yours. Otherwise, what's the point?

Before embarking on your journey with this routine, we strongly recommend you obtain a copy of Troy Hooser's DVD, Charming Chinese Challenge, avaTlable from Bob Kohler Magic (www.bobkohlermagic.com). It's not necessary to know Troy's routine in order to learn "Recharmed, I'm Sure," but it will help give a fuller understanding of the plot, its possibilities, and offer alternate ideas. In this wdy, you can explore fuither and strike your own path, perhaps coming up with something even beffer.

Note: The [ollowing description of this routine was extracted frorn the hook, Elements: The Lectttre, The Book, and refonnatted for this booklet. The description refers to a particular style of coin purse that facilitates the acquiring of a secrct fourth coin. The original purse is made by Bosca and is available at www.bosca.corn. Because coin purses in this style are difficult to obtairl at low cost, they're not always available to sell with this routine and are sold separately when we do have them. If you prescntly do rrot have this type of coin purse, you can still do the routine as there are numerous ways to deceptively obtain a fourth coin without the spectators knowing.

When it comes to r,r,orking close-up, the plot is engagir-rg and entertaining, and are more taken with the actions of the coins than I t'rrst thought they'rnight be. Part olthis seerns to conle tiorn the tact that the situation is so undeniably clear. In this handling, coins with holes are threa
