Some tomfoolery for you all.
Vanishes, coins and even a little card effect thrown in for good measure.
Enjoy

Enough of this monkey business! :)

I actually learnt The Chinese Bit as a teenager (yes, around 30 years ago, the effect really has been around THAT long!) but I never performed it much. It didn't seem to matter how slowly I did it, some specs just couldn't remember which coin was supposed to be where!

If you want a bit of constructive criticism...

I think you seem to fiddle about a bit too much in your closed fist, you need to slick that up a bit so your fist appears more natural and it doesn't look like you're doing 'something' to the coins, especially when you're taking coins out of the fist.

Also, I personally prefer the coin to be tossed off the back of the fist (as originally routined) rather than taken with the fingers, I just feel that taking the coin looks like a cover for a 'move'. Personal preference here though.

Finally, maybe trousers with bigger pockets would be an idea! :)

Nicely done though, I'm just nit-picking.
Cheers.

Cheers pud, constructive always welcome.
I agree totally. It looked a bit fiddly at times.
And I was tossing it off (fnur fnur snik snik gwfark gwfark said finbar) but there was a reason for not doing it that I'm not going to post here ;)

The trouble with bigger pockets is all the more tempted you are to fill em and take loads of stuff out with you lol

Thanks for the nit-pick, always appreciated.
