Advanced Coin Magic & Close-Up Routines

Sleepless Nights by Bill Citino is a collection of practical, real-world magic routines designed for performers who want strong audience reactions with clear presentations and workable methods. Following his acclaimed 2008 release COINsomnia – The Random Conjurings of a Sleep Deprived Mind, Bill continues to explore powerful coin magic while adding his own creative approach to classic plots and modern close-up performance.

This eBook contains 8 routines across more than 70 pages, featuring detailed explanations and illustrations by magician and artist Justin P. Vitti. The material focuses primarily on coin magic, with an additional card routine included for performers who enjoy card work.

The routines are aimed mainly at intermediate to advanced coin magicians, but performers with a solid understanding of basic coin sleights and the willingness to practice can develop and perform these effects successfully.

Inside Sleepless Nights, you will find Bill Citino’s approaches to vanishes, transpositions, visual coin magic, and audience-focused presentations, including:

• The Edge Pop – Bill Citino’s modern take on the one-handed coin vanish, inspired by Geoffrey Latta’s classic French Pop.
• Imaginary Money (Curtis Kam) – A practical and deceptive routine combining strong audience interaction with the Positive/Negative plot.
• Copper/Silver Transpo(tation) – A combination of classic coin magic themes blended into one streamlined routine.
• W.T.F.?!, A C.S.B. Quickie – Bill’s visual interpretation of a phase from Geoffrey Latta’s CopSilBrass.
• Trading Places – A three-for-three coin transposition using only six coins, ideal for close-up and strolling performers.
• It’s Just An Illusion – A clean and visual Coins to Purse routine featuring surprising moments and a strong ending.
• An Overly Ambitious Inverted Illusion – Bill’s approach to the Ambitious Card plot, adapted with ideas suitable for the coin worker.
• Money STILL Doesn’t Grow On Trees… – An updated handling of Bill’s popular opener from COINsomnia, improving the original concept and refining the overall effect.

Whether you perform close-up magic professionally or enjoy developing advanced coin techniques, Sleepless Nights offers a collection of practical routines built around strong magical moments rather than unnecessary moves.

As Dr. Michael Rubinstein describes Bill Citino’s work:
"He avoids flashy, show-off moves, and focuses on effect. When Bill performs, you don't see fancy razzle dazzle acrobatics. You see real magic."
