Nice and smooth, you've clearly practiced a lot and it'll be entertaining to your target audience. The music choice is good too.

I have to say it's let down by the video quality, you may or may not have access to a higher quality camera but the lighting in your video is coming from the window on the right and is making the footage too contrasty. Try it next time facing the window whilst performing if you can so the light on you is more frontal and lower in contrast, it should make the video clearer.

I thought it was excellent, the video quality was a shame but obviously that says nothing about your performance skills.

One piece of constructive criticism. I'm not very knowledgeable of coin magic, so while I may have some ideas about how things were done I was essentially viewing this as a layman. So at 1.04 when both hands were supposed to be empty, the fact that you only showed your right hand empty made it very obvious to me that the other hand was palming the coins. The empty handed finger rub was good but showing only one hand empty broke the illusion for me.

Otherwise a truly great routine.

Invoke not reason. In the end it is too small a deity.
