First of all Rune that was a fantastic piece of coin Magic you can tell that you really think things through before you put them to tape.
There are a few opinions in the comments that you ought to have the cup upside down but i agree with you and like the idea of the cup being mouth up. I don't know how this routine would fit into a close up/restaurant work situation with the chinging but i think it would fit perfect in a parlour/caberet show.
Last of all, and this has nothing to do with the trick itself but it is one of the things that annoys me greatly with TM.
Why do "SOME" people think that because we are members of Talk Magic we are going show everyone on here how to do certain moves whether they are vanishes of a coin or whatever for free. Most of us on TM are probably not rich people, which means we have had to save our hard earned cash to buy books or whatever to learn these techniques from and i can say for myself that i am not prepared to just share them with anyone.
What is my point????????
MY POINT IS! - Don't ask how a tecnique is done because no-one will tell you. If you want to learn then a more appropriate question would be to ask where some of sleights may be learned,
And In the instance of this trick i would go with the following.
BOBO's Modern Coin Magic Book,
David Roths DVD's on Coin Magic,
and SANKEYS - Revolutionary Coin Magic.
None of these will have Runes Routine in because it it his own creation but they all contain fundemental skills needed for "GOOD PRO COIN MAGIC".
