What do you think of my performance? Is it good? I got it yesterday.

Nice work... I always worry about the 'knife' ending though! What I do, if I can't get the coin out just via shaking alone, I bend the can back and forth until you get a small tear in the can, then rip it open (carefully) that way... That's the 'safer' way and to be fair, if I was caught with a massive blade on me in the UK, I'd be arrested :)

Wow! I'm surprised guys! The other forum (ellusionist forums) I posted on and this other laymen totally said I sucked at it. Even worse, The laymen figured it out, :oops: I guess I gotta practice more. But your comments encourge me, I'll practice more!

I do you think you are on the track to the right start. You do need to work on your performance and handling though. Be a bit more engaging and don't stare at the computer screen the whole time. Have you ever been talking to someone and they stared at your throat? Same effect.

And ignore that trolls comment. If you look at his youtube profile you will see he is just a troll.

It's not too bad - I've seen alot worse :?

I've added a comment on the vid too :shock:

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 ??

not bad at all. Work on the patter, make everything flow smoothly and you'll have it nicely. Don't rush to show it to people, get it as smooth and a babies bum before you do.

Also show the coin in the can and demonstrate that i wont come out through the hole, before cutting it open. Just looks as if you pun the coin in when you cut it.

I personally don't like the cutting it open finish. I've not performed this in public yet but I think I'd just leave the can with the coin in it with the spectator.
