As I've said before, I am a fan of your coin work, Dave. I've always found your videos entertaining, and this compilation is no exception.

My only (very minor, and highly inferior) critique, is the violent action in the coin changes section. Your "throws" just seemed really out of place with the rest of the routines. Your vanishes and handling is so elegant and fluid, that these harsh tosses seem unusual and jarring.

The killer key handling was so good, that I had to watch it twice to see what was going on (and I know how to do the effect!).

Brilliant work!

it is good, however that last vanish, I feel, could have been better. I learnt that in Bobo's book, and I'm not sure whether you did as well. The problem was that you "readjusted" (;)) the ocin and we could see what was happening. It may be just because I know how it is done, but we don't want a layperson picking up on it do we ;)

Apart from that, I liked everything else and thought that it was very good indeed!

Love

When palming, make sure both hands looks similar to each other.

Otherwise, everything else was good. :) Very nice indeed.
