Mini it seems you are only interested in creating magic so you can sell it. Selling magic isn't everything you know. I also think it's a bit much selling something you have only performed on video. Do you have real world experience with this trick? Why don't you go out and use it for a bit before thinking about selling it?

Well I did this for a week to my family and stuff (as a part of tictacs to eye routine)
and I really! need the money
because I need alot of stuff that I don't have to money to buy
I know that I fooled my brother (he always understands how I did the trick) again and again and again and again
So I think its ok
Look at my ultimate signed coin to tictac box
that one is better
and that one isn't for sale :P

Okay, a few things: you would probably be better off earning money through magic by performing it. Most creators will tell you that it really is not as well-paying as you might think, especially if you are only putting a few things out there. If you are going to put something out then it needs to be real-world tested over a long period of time and, most likely, refined too.

Look at it this way: Imagine you've just bought this great new effect from Person X, you go out and do it in the real-world and someone sees straight through it. Annoyed, you email Person X and ask him why he didn't realise that it was such so obvious. His reply is "Oh well I did it loads of times to my brother and he didn't notice anything" - so you can see why real-world testing is crucial.

Whatever you do, so long as you take your time and research and practise and refine it, I wish you the best of luck!
