Interesting idea, but it's going to need a bit of refinement.

Your handling of the book after the selection of the page is incredibly suspicious. Anyone can tell you're doing something at this point.

The vanish of the coin was done rather well - so this part of the effect was very nice. Your handling really sells the idea that the coin is melting through the pages.

I have some handling tips, as well as a possibility to do it with a signed coin, in case you're interested. Hit me with a pm if you like.

I also agree. Handling of the book is suspicious. Just make that smoother, and it would be a very good trick indeed.

Again, in agreement with the other, the handling after selecting the page is highly suspicious (and obvious), but the vanish was nicely done.

Garh, I hate Windows Media Player. Even if it is online. So annoying to use. Why, why Putfile... Let alone 2000+ video bitrate...

Anyways, I only watched just a little after the vanish before I clicked stop by accident. Yeah, the vanish was good. I do think a bit more improvement on it could be done though. Before hand.

The handling of the book was also a little weird.

Because I didn't get to see the end, well, I'll assume what happens and yeah. Overall, it's a nice trick. :)
