Simon Si "Shotgun Spellbound"

Hi, this is my "shotgun spellbound" routine. It's little different then other spellbounds. Why? you will see when you will watch the clip. I upload it without music for the reason- I'm working on the smoothness and I would like eliminate all of the clicks etc.
The people who inspired me to make this routine, and I wpould like to thanks them for being great coin "welders"; Goeff Latta, Ponta the Smith, Marion Boykin, Radek Makar, Homer Liwag. that's the few which push me to develop this routine.
let me know what do you think people!:)
enjoy!

the change to silvers at the end didnt come across too well due to camera flare.
I'm asuming your geting some clicking when seperating this problem can be helped with the addition of some scotch tape, the routine was good but you need to be closer to the camera the first couple of run throughs I missed the view of the morgans before the change, also your push pulls could be a little slower remember we want to see the coin go in and come out the other arm that is the point of the move, your hand washing was also very good.
the chinese coins in this set are designed to be so visual they deserve a bit more air time. :D

ps usualy you would expect to get some replys after about 4-5 days on here, were not much into the instant gratification culture here. :wink: :lol:

Is there a reason you're not talking? I'm completely ignorant with coin magic but I find that if people talk while doing coin tricks it just makes it all the more baffling because you're trying to listen and watch and be amazed all at once and it blows my little mind. I appreciate it is more difficult for the performer too though. :)

I thought it was great though. Well done!

Hi, thanks for reply,
The reason why I'm not talking during this routine; like I wrote before I'm working on the smoothness before I start showing it at my gigs etc. I will record this routine and other two with proper talk. What's is important to me is visual magic. Oh and next time I will slow down with whole routine.
Regards
Si
