It was only about 45 mins between your first and second posts. You might want to bear in mind this is a UK board and your first post appeared when most people who work would be travelling home (6:30pm) and 16 views does not necessarily mean 16 registered members viewing.

I do have some constructive criticism though.

If you were using your own can then showing both ends and tapping them would be OK to convince spectators it wasn't gaffed. But if you were using a borrowed can then I think it would detract from the effect. The spec knows that their own can was solid and tapping it is just an unnecessary and "magiciany" type of thing to do. You probably know this already but I just thought I'd point it out.

After you slammed the coin into the can you very quickly show your left hand empty palm up and then in the same fashion flash it empty again. A bit suspicious me thinks. I would suggest slowly showing your hand empty palm up followed by turning it over so anyone can see that there IS NO WAY that coin is in your hand. Same thing with the right as well, you showed it empty too quickly and didn't show the back of the hand again.

At one point you also lift your your thumb off the can in a showy kind of way which is unnecessary and would arouse suspicion IMO.

After that it was fine.

Hope this helps.

Quite well done! nothing here to exposed sinful, great routine with a good rythme. I like the smoothness of your second move (you probably know what I'm talking about!). The sound of the coin in the can is quite convicing

I liked that way your hands seems empty, but, i don't like the way you show the can before you do the penetration. Also, you should have more smoothness after you have "slammed" the coin into the can. Smooth it up, go directly into showing hands, and can "empty" and that the coin is gone. This is a good routine. But also, i would NEVER cut the can like you did. Would be TOO suspicious. Maybe you do this because it is a video, but in real life, you should almost give the can to the spec, and let him/her see it, and maybe take out the coin themself.

Very well performed my friend, just as said before, be more casual and open in showing your hands empty after the penetration.
And that's some cola, it sounded like a gun going off when you opened it! :shock: :D
