Secondly, the routine out of the box is far from the best routine that can be done with CV2. Think about it, play around with it and see what you come up with.

Here's my one coin routine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow9yHaltUDU. You can play around with that if you want.

As to using it as the finale of a metal bending routine, that is bad routining. Coinvexed is not an invisible method so if they are looking and expecting you to do something there's a chance you'll get caught. You could open with it and then go into other bends as they're far cleaner. Alternatively you could switch in a prebent coin which takes the heat of the bend. If you've all ready bent large objects at this stage then they are less likely to expect a switch if you sell it right.

Hope that helps,

H.


Thanks so much Harry! This is handy :)

I do have a routine using a pre-bent coin, where it can be signed by the spectator. I'm considering using that instead, but hopefully not.


edit: I like your style Harry, love to meet you one day.

No.

I believe the idea is to practise misdirection, work on patter and your own personal routining (for example, using just one coin) BEFORE you perform.

Thats my idea of practise atleast :p


Never??? At all??? :shock:
