Since Chris Kenner debuted “Three Fly” in the late 1980s, it has remained a gold standard for coin workers: simple, direct, and visually stunning.
Jimmy Fan’s variation, Chinese 3 Fly (C3F), is a complete three-phase professional act shaped by structural elegance and psychological flow, without unnecessary difficulty.
The result of twenty years of professional refinement, C3F is more than a single magic effect. It is a complete, multi-phase act that fits in your pocket.
The C3F routine brings three routines together in one complete act.
Watch Jimmy Fan’s full performance:
Phase 1: Hopping Chinese Coin
A coin placed in your pocket repeatedly returns to your hand, creating a time-loop effect built on the “Hopping Chinese Coin” premise. This playful, high-energy opening leads to a startling visual transformation.
Phase 2: Chinese Three Fly (Multicolor)
As the routine builds, the coins transform into three distinct colors: silver, copper, and red. The contrasting colors make every “flight” in the highly visual Three Fly sequence impossible to miss and even harder to explain.
Phase 3: CCC
C3F flows naturally into the Charming Chinese Challenge (CCC) instead of ending abruptly. Its structure lets you move seamlessly into your favorite ribbon routine, creating a powerful finish while leaving your hands “clean.”
