Ok, so after reading Strong Magic, i have decided to reconsider the structure of all my effects. One of my favorite effects is a close-up nest of boxes routine (A coin is signed and vanished. The magician pulls out a box from his pocket sealed with a rubber band, inside is another box also with a rubber band, and then another box, and then a small bag with a rubber band, and inside the bag is the signed coin.)
The problem is, i wanna be able to show my hands clean after the vanish. Right now what i'm doing is Vanish > Pull out box. Due to the nature of the effect, i must first false transfer the coin and put it into finger palm so i can load it into the box as i take it out of my pocket. So i reconsidered the structure and i came up with this: False transfer > Pull out Box > Reveal vanish > Open box. So basically i take out the box before the coin vanishes.
So which one do you think is better? Vanish then box, for box then vanish? i know it seems like a silly thing to ask but i wanna get the most impact out of this trick as i can. Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks!
