Here I am again this time with (for me) a very challenging trick. Look here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7E5mSoBBWU then tear me apart. I know what I think needs improving but some input from you lot would be uber helpful.

Very good so far. Personally, I would suggest you work on looking more natural. Work on slowing down just a bit. That is one thing people do in the beginning (not saying your a beginner just commenting), they go faster than they should because they think that the person is less likely to notice "the moves". If you take everything slow and natural, and practice doing everything slow and natural, then it will look slow and natural. Plus it will make it look a bit less of a magic trick and more like a good illusion.

But keep it up! you are surely doing well so far.

True true, I do rush coin work even though I shouldn't and I really try not to. It's a subconscious thing that'll smooth out with practice (performing practice rather than technical practice), thanks for being kind.

Very nice, but there was quite a big flash on the first one, if you know what I mean.

Really nice, but I'd agree you need to relax a bit and slow down. Pacing is everything, and at the minute it's quite rushed and looks like you have a nervous tic!

Also, coin magic often looks more convincing when done with some elegance... you jab and stab and jerk a lot, wheras the same moves can be done fluidly with much better results.

However, it's a fantastic performance, and obviously I'm only speaking as a magician to a magician—the layperson would not suspect a thing.

Very well done.

Some more Sankey! Yay! I love Sankey and I definitely think you did this trick justice. Well done. You had an extremely good Pinch too. But like others have stated before me, you really just have to fine tune this routine to be a little smoother.

looks like your standng there with a broom stick up your a***?
good trick anyway!
which i could get my wonky finger to do the goshman pinch......
