I've been working on this for ages and it's bloody hardy to someone who's a newbie with coins. I thought I'd post it so I can get some suggestions for improvement.

This sequence can be learnt on Apollo & Shoot's Cultural XChange Vol 1 DVD.

It's good for a start. You need to work on your palming though. Also, at the end when you wriggled your fingers, you want both hands to wriggle the same. So, practice your palming first and moving your fingers while palming and such first.

ok, but there is no way that looked like the coin was gone. watch it again, would you really say 'wow he vanished a coin'?

First time I saw that I reall DID think he's vanished the coin...

The average layperson will be less clued up than me, so good work Evmeister
I knwo you've been practicing that move a lot, so I hope you continue to get better and better

I agree with Ecko on this one. I had to watch it three times, and read the thread through before I saw what was really going on. You had me fooled.

Great work.

its ok but it looks to me like it just been CP'ed in the LH, you just dont show the hands empty at all, the palms are facing away from the audience.

I thought it was good! Had me fooled too hehe.

I'm a near laymen to coin magic though I know a few but that looked good to me! The first move was a bit obvious (forgot the name) but I still have no idea where the coin went in the end lol.

Lol! I lost track of the coin after 6 secs only to find it back at the eleventh second! It warped!
I personnaly think that, even tough the first palm is a bit flashy (after 4 or 5 replays ), the whole sequence is well executed. A bit more practise and I'm pretty sure it can fool anyone who hasn't the capacity to "rewind" it ! Don't forget eye contact and talking when performed live
(P.S: For a beginner, as you describe yourself, this is a quite hard effect! You learned magic the hard way, congrats and cheers!)

Tips for improvement:
1: Watch for the position of your left hand on the first move
2: Smoothen it up a bit. Don't forget that every moves should have a purpose to the audience. In this case, the purpose is (I suppose) rubbing your hand to show they are empty. Watch yourself in a mirror rubbing your hands (can't believe I just wrote that....) and try to look the same
3: Keep it up
