Description

He was that talented. No, he was superior because nothing—not a narrative, not a book, not a picture, not even a video—can ever fully express what it was like to observe those hands up close. Swiss, Jamie Ian

“Geoff and I first spoke in 1982. I used to think that I was pretty skilled with cards and coins. Well, I quickly discovered how mistaken I was after only a few short hours. I was witnessing the greatest for the first time! Geoff’s methods, timing, and delivery were all flawless. He thought analytically, unlike anyone I’ve ever had a conversation with. Geoff discovered a quicker route to go from point A to point B. I continued to spend a lot of time with Geoff after that, and I can genuinely state that his brilliance was and continues to be unmatched. Michael Gallo

“Geoff’s execution was effortless and natural perfection,” said one observer of his skill, “so amazing was his talent that one might gaze directly at the sleight-of-hand and there was nothing to see, no suggestion of trickery.” by Eric Mead

“Geoff was a fantastic card and coin sleight-of-hand magician. He was technically adept and inventive. He performed the Retention of Vision Vanish, Diagonal Palm Shift, and Classic Pass as effectively as I’ve ever seen them done. His inventive approach of thinking about magic is seen by the way his routines are put together. I simply regret that you weren’t able to attend his live performance. He was a creative. Dave Roth

Geoff didn’t show up very often, but when he did, it was like an Olympian had come to visit. He was brilliant and incredibly accomplished, but, God bless him, he was also incredibly kind. Dave Regal

“This book has been in the works for a while. It’s finally here after 30 years of waiting for me to see it. As one of the essential resources for coin magic, this magnificent book will be added to your library alongside Roth’s Expert Coin Magic and J.B. Bobo’s Modern Coin Magic. The work of Geoff Latta is now publicly surfacing from the shadows. Pete Samelson

The Long Goodbye – Latta on Coins is destined to be a cornerstone in the canon of coin magic literature. It ought to be kept in your library. Micheal Close

Second only to his master, David Roth, Geoffrey Latta has been given towering position as an inventor and artist in the field of contemporary coin magic. His underground career started in the 1970s and blossomed in the 1980s when Richard Kaufman’s superb compilation, CoinMagic, included a selection of his early work. Years after his untimely passing, his fame has not diminished. It has instead increased.

All of Latta’s known coin magic, both published and unpublished, is presented in The Long Goodbye. Coin-magic enthusiasts will be learning from, perfecting, and imitating this record of remarkable creativity for years to come.

In these pages, Latta’s extensive body of work is given, with emphasis on both the broad strokes and the finer details of his magic, including the psychology, choreography, and delicate structure that were his trademarks. Anyone who is aware with Latta’s accomplishments won’t think twice about placing this book next to the standard works on coin magic.

344 pages. more than 720 pictures. 48 tricks, more than 25 of which are sleights.
