Hey guys,

I thought I'd share some of the coin magic I've learned.
I'm slowly learning how to edit videos better.

Comments and critiques are most definitely welcome.

I just started coin magic, and your video was very good!. Nice skills. I see you have put a lot of effort.

Thanks :) I'm glad I've inspired people to look more into coin magic.
Well let's see.
Chaplain colour shirt sequence:
- Coin production is my own move inspired by the capricorn change from Revolutionay Coin Magic by Jay Sankey. Also inspired by Homer Liwag
- The muscle pass. Number of good sources.

Black shirt
- the first colour change is something that I played around with. I got the idea from the Nabil change, which I didn't like because of the closed nature. I felt this was more open, you can also reload the coin to do the change once more with this change.
- standard spellbound

Mini shirt
- Basic hand washing technique for the production, not sure where I learned it. The production itself I learned from Cointwo by Homer Liwag.
- The "coin jumps" was something I learned from an Al Schnieder DVD. I believe it was called the SnapBack move. Basically just a different retention vanish grip.
- The final disappearance was inspired by Ponta, I love his use of the curl palm. I can't "balance" palm very well, so I opted for the curl palm.

Purple shirt
- Jay Sankey's flying shuttle
- Eric Jone's S.V.C.A. (Spectator's Visible Coins Across) from Mirage et Trois. Last sequence is what I'm doing except I added a few more back to back sequences just for the camera, as well as habit.

That's about it :) I've always loved dynamic coin magic and I felt that it's really hard to capture coin magic in front of a camera and make it look "good". I thought that this would look nice for the camera.
Can't say I use this stuff outside the camera however :(
If you have any more questions feel free to ask.

I would say slow it down a touch, looks a tad bit rushed and some areas could do with a little more practice but in general its looking good :)

@ Cyril
I really like your coin productions! Its something I just can't get to look right lol.
Good music too.

trycon: Thanks.
I rarely use productions though in real life. Sad. lol.
Yeah, it's from a good album that I enjoy.
Psephopaiktes: Thanks, original? Not really. It's just bits and pieces for the camera.
Your coin techniques are pretty solid. But slow it down.
It really depends honestly, if you're doing it for a live audience, you'd naturally slow it down to interact with people.
But even if it was for the camera, I'd advised to slow it down. The bad thing about "coins appearing here and there" sort of routines is that it gets very confusing for the spectator.
Also, feel free to make your own thread of your coin magic, that's what the forums are here for.

Harry Potter: Thanks. It's a good look. It gets the fingers warmed up.
