The Professor, Dai Vernon, summed up Dr. Sawa this way:
"One of the most creative magicians I have ever known. As the saying goes, you have to see it to believe it—and even then, you won't!" Find out why.
When Dr. Sawa burst onto the magic scene back in the 1970s, he caused an international sensation. His work with paper, seashells, ropes, and especially coins, was a delightful blend of whimsy and mind-boggling astonishment. After a long disappearance from the magic world (we're still not sure he didn't take a long vacation to some secret magical island), he’s back and more fired up about magic than ever.
L&L Publishing is excited to present a collection of his fresh, jaw-dropping coin routines that will have your audience questioning their sanity.
Whitehouse: Various presidents (who happen to be gracing our U.S. coins) magically materialize from thin air, each one bigger than the last. It’s like a political rally, but way more fun.
Better Half: A pair of half dollars show their affection by jumping from one hand to the other, then getting all tangled up in a way that’ll make you wonder if they’ve been watching too many rom-coms. This gem has been Sawa’s secret for 20 years—now it’s your turn to shine.
Cuponkia: A devilishly clever version of Coins Through the Table. Three coins audibly drop through the table and land in a glass bowl, with the final phase performed standing up—because who needs lapping when you have style?
The Mint Bureau: Inspired by an old-school Japanese coin, four plain washers transform before your very eyes, expanding in size, and then—boom!—one becomes a jumbo coin. Watch their jaws drop.
Blade Runner: A quirky plot where coins are tossed onto the flat blade of a table knife. One balances on the edge, and the final demonstration will leave them scratching their heads in disbelief.
Genuine Silver: A half dollar transforms into a stunning silver finger ring in a visual change that’s bound to elicit gasps. And just for good measure, you’ll do it again with another coin!
Octopus: A brilliant method for making four coins penetrate from within an Okito Box through your hand. Seriously, how does he do that?
Backstage: The performer invites the audience “behind the scenes,” but instead of getting the inside scoop, they find themselves even more baffled as the coins change shape, size, and multiply—because why not leave them scratching their heads?
Get ready to expand your repertoire with these ingenious routines that will have fellow magicians taking notes and audiences questioning their reality. Dive in and get ready to have some fun!
