Nice job. This is just me, but I didn't like the second "show" before the change. It's not necessary. The first display is enough to convince people - with the second one, the way you opened your hand is extremely awkward. I was left thinking "If he wants to show the coin again, why not open his hand completely?" While a spec might not pick up on things like this, I think you can omit that and just do the change without it.

Good job.

I'm with Demitri on this 1 :cry:
The 1st show looked natural and smooth whilst the 2nd show, when u keep your fingers curled up, just looked too obvious that you're hiding something.

Ditch the 2nd show - it ain't necessary and (in my opinion) gives the game away :oops:

QUESTION:
If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??

Again, nice. You didn't show the get-ready on the video, so just make sure that you can do it fluidly, without flashing anything.

The only comment I had was the same as Demitri's. It looks quite awkward the way you do it, and I think it probably makes the method more obvious. If you want to use that show without making it so obvious, you could try slowly closing your fingers over the coin.
