Is it just my computer, or was the video extremely jumpy? It played more like a series of still images than a video.
Having gone through it, though - I'm not sure what I think of this effect. You never really showed the egg as empty (at least, I couldn't get that impression from the video), all I saw was you show the egg kind of stacked on itself, then the video cut, and you show the top of the egg - close it, and then you can see the shadow of the coin in the egg.
Granted the shadow problem can be fixed easily enough, and with some patter it could be a nice effect. However, you need to refine your handling of it - and make sure that both halves of the egg are clearly and fairly shown empty before you begin the effect.
