I'm currently reading Jim Cellini's "Royal Touch" and he talks about a
CB coin gimmick. What is that?
btw, the book is an entertaining read! While i am NOT a busker by any
means, the book does not seem to be a comprehensive source on the
subject, however; it is a great overview on busking w/ a chock full of
tested tricks and routines with patter. It is rare I fall in love
with a routine I read, however he talks about a routine that
entertains people with nothing but a paper bag....I so cannot wait to
try it out!

A glass is covered with a silk and tightly wrapped around the glass,
what ensues is a miser's dream like effect, but when the glass is
unwrapped, the coins -heard- going into the glass are there. THe
gimmicks sounds like some kind of slide that releases coins one by
when when tilted......just a guess,

Can you expand a bit on the title of the book or the author? When someone
mentions a book they're reading I always go look it up to see if it is
something I'd like to read, too, but I can't find a book under that
title/author. Thx.

CB probably stands for Charles Bertram.

If I'm not mistaken Charles Bertram invented the "rattle box
principle". I will take it that you know how that gimmick works.
I've seen this gimmick using coins too, and it's quite ingenious. You
are able to make it sound like you are rattling a fist full of half-
dollars while your hand is really completely empty.
