I think you show your hands empty a bit too much, but except from that it was good :D

I'm not a great fan of 'handwashing' sequences myself - if you're going to show your hands empty why use that strange method.

I prefer just to flash an empty hand (try Downs palm)...

Apart from that, nice.

the hand is always faster than the eye and a lot of people know this so a bit less flourishing with the hands and a bit more simplicity would pack a good punch. On the upside, still well done and for the lay t'would be difficult to understand where the coin had gone hence trick effective!!

Much better, very natural.

The only problem was that you still showed the other hand in that unnatural way. If you're going to do that you need some justification for it (as you did with the flick). I would just leave that part out entirely, just use the flick subtlety to convince that the hand is empty. The other thing is that if you say that the coin is going to vanish, you're asking for heat on the other hand. Say you're going to make it turn over heads to tails or something - then people won't expect the vanish.

There was one point in the video where I could see the coin after the vanish. Also the showing of the hands was very clean. It was in a strange was, but still clean. The reappearance was very nice too.

Thanks,
Dominick
