Sorry, but it looks like you just woke up. Oh well, I look way worse at times. Your coin roll is pretty good, but it is lacking the smoothness of a great flourish. Try slowing down and getting all of your fingers to move like a wave (one smoothly after the other). The key to getting a smooth coin roll is not speeding up or slowing down at any part of the flourish. Your speed has to be totally consistant for it to be the most visually appealing. A smooth coin roll is MUCH prettier than a fast one. I can do a very fast coin roll, but people are much more impressed when I go slow and smooth. You also might want to try a bigger coin. The hardest part of the coin roll, and the part that is giving you the most trouble is bring the coin back on your thumb. Slow this move down until you are totally smooth, then slow the rest of your coin roll down to match that. This is the way to do a perfect coin roll. All of the motions have to be the same speed.
Hope this helps. Good luck and keep up the good work!
