This is just quick little coin routine of mine.

nice and conscise but just two little things, the first production try grabing a fold in your sleave and produce it from there, the production from elbow only works well after a vanish.
and second don't be afraid to cover your ditches with the hand holding the coin, bring that hand to the forground and when you ditch place the hand flat on the table so its obviosly empty but at the same time out of play for the vanish.
your slieghts are good and the whole routine works well, now rewatch the video over and see if you can make the ditches less trasparent, bearing in mind that we now were to look, and sell the coin in hand more.

hope this dosn't sound a deconstruction of your routine i liked it a lot.

I liked the routine too and i think with the changes suggested above it would make it all the stronger. One of the problems i find when looking at a video clip like that when it's a close up on the hands is you lose a big chunk of the misdirection ability. Your eyes just fix on the centre of the screen so if your ditch is centre and the misdirect to reveal to the side i find it to easy to focus on the wrong thing

If you do a close up like that cover like suggested or change the reveal to the centre and ditch off to the side. Or pan the camera back so it's a wider shot and we can follow your body/eyes etc and be drawn to where you want to look easier.

Good work and very small changes to make it very strong

Cheers
