The magician David Roth should never be
confused with the musician David Lee Roth. David Roth is much more
talented. He was born in New York City back in 1952. He is an
accomplished musician in his own right, and if you ever hear him play
the piano you will be in for a treat. However, David's made is mark
as one of the greatest coin magicians in the world.
He obtained Bobo's book "Modern Coin
Magic" when he was 16 years old, and hasn't looked back. In
refining his skills with coins he had the opportunity to learn from
the Professor "Dai Vernon." The Professor had the
friendship of other great coin manipulator of the past such as T.
Nelson Downs, Allan Shaw, Manuel, and Welch Miller. He knew what it
took to be a great magician, and he imparted this knowledge to David.
In fact the greatest endorsement of David's skill comes from the
Professor himself. He considered David "the greatest coin
manipulator in the entire world."
Not only is David a skilled magician, but he
has followed the Professor's example and became a great teacher of
magic too. His lectures and workshops can teach you want it takes to
be a great magician in your own right. However, if you are unable to
go to one of his lectures then get his videos. Better still, get
David's book "Expert Coin Magic." It has one of the best
explanations of the "Retention Vanish," and the
"Fingertip Retention Vanish" ever written. These two
effects are found at the start of the book. Just imaging what else
the book contains. What? You don't know the "Retention
Vanish!" Well, you'll have to get David's book to find out how
it is done. Check out David's Web
Page to find out more about obtaining his books and videos.
If you ever talk with David Roth, ask him
about his time with Dai Vernon. Particularly when he went on the
Professor's lecture tour to Europe. Better yet, encourage David to
write about his experiences and share them with everyone. He could
include many principles and philosophies on magic that make him such
great magician.
