I have some silly ideas every now and then (especially at night - does this occur to you?), but never recorded them and simply let them disappear from my memory. From now I want to try film something whenever an idea hits me - there will not be any teaching (as I am but a lowly hobbyist). Just thought I would share them here and see if they may one day give someone a different perspective about coin magic?

I always have weird, or new ideas and I plan on putting them up for people to see.

I like the clarity of your routine. You show 2 copper coins with empty hands, but there's a little fiddling which draws suspicion. But, the last phase was very well executed (hellbound?)

Nicely done! I especially liked the end where you blow on the coins - slick! As Rick mentioned there is a little fiddling earlier (your right hand)... could you use a CP at that point to eliminate the 'odd' look of the right hand ?

That was great!

Thank you all. All criticism welcome as it really was a 10-minute-fresh idea.

@Rick and CarpetShark: Would you be able to point to a certain time stamp of the video so I understand the fiddling you are referring to?
@Rick: I got your private message - thank you for your kind words. I understand when you said Hellbound you must be referring to a routine... but I don't know that routine.

Hey ken,

At about the 35 second mark when you place the coins in your left hand it just looks too cozy. Not a huge deal, but maybe an opportunity for refinement.

And for the last change I was referring to Eric Jones' Hellbound Spellbound. It just reminded me of it, I don't know if youre actually doing the same move.

Keep posting stuff....

Oof, that was great. I think I know how you did some of it, but the second coin switch to silver in the beginning got me.

I saw a flash at 0:52 of the copper coin before you changed it - which kind of spoiled the "it's still silver" thing. But I love the visual of swiping the two coins to change them back individually.

There was also a bit of awkward fiddling with hidden coins at 0:45, but I suspect that might have been tiredness.

The Magnetic coins was well done, but felt added-in strangely - it didn't really feel like it fit in thematically. Maybe talk about the polarities of different metals?

But overall I really liked it.

Rick: Wasn't it Chris Kenner that did Hellbound Spellbound? Eric Jones had a Hellbound Remix:

But I think this is more reminiscent of Kenner's work.

I was only referring to the very last change. Eric does a visually similar one.

Watched this again tonight multiple times more intently and I am thoroughly stumped. Each idea I had was canceled out by different displays of the coins. There's even one discrepent display, but that leads me nowhere still.

I like this Ken! I think you should keep pushing it further.

;) I am glad you appreciate it... There was certainly a bit more thought that went into it than it appears. And thank you all for your criticism - I have come up with some small tweaks already. Please keep them coming.

Idea #2

This is a product of a late nite idea.

MichaelJae: Nice, though I've seen something very similar done by a number of other folks.

Ken: I like the second effect a lot. You do a good job (in both senses) showing all three coins the first time, but then I find it a bit bothersome that you show both sides of the coins again as you put them in your fist - but only on the second two. It feels almost like overproving the point. The last coin insertion also feels a bit awkward, but realize it's an early idea.

I really liked the transformation at the end, definitely unexpected. Keep showing us more!
