Your handling needs some work. I swear I saw you flash the entire handling at one point - but that could just be me.
I'm assuming this was meant more as a test to see where your skill level with this particular effect is, rather than an actual performance of the effect. How much and how long you want to display the can comes down to personal preference, but the way you hand lays flat against the can at one point just seemed suspicious to me. You can be very open and show your hands completely empty through the entire course of the effect, so perhaps think about ways to do that a bit more. Really drive home the notion that you're not just hiding the coin somewhere.
You have the basic mechanics figured out, and that's the hard part. Just keep refining it and working with the handling. Also, in regards to these types of videos, be very mindful of your angles.
Keep up the good work.
