Lots to like here - especially that is done not come off as just a skill demo.

It explains your other post about searching for credit of the one move.

I immediately would what to see "what follows" with the "four" coins produced at thee end.

That is, what better use for a One Coin Routine than as a prelude to greater things? - especially with audience with limited attention focus.

I would suggest a "Full On" production of the coin in the last sequence rather than the side-reach, but your steal method may require what you do.

My one coin routine done with dollar size coins. it is essentially the same as the half dollar version, with a couple of handling changes due to the size of the coins. Soon to be sold as a video tutorial. Enjoy!

Thanks. Just completed the download filming, so it should be available soon! I would say it is intermediate level (on par with the stuff in Rubinstein Coin Magic), and I also explain alternative handlings for a couple of parts (some people may prefer one over the other). There are side and rear views as well, so I think that most coin workers shouldn't have a problem. The same routine works for dollars or half dollars, with a couple of move changes to accomodate the size difference in coins. There is no weird or Hirata hold stuff that coin workers may find difficult. The nice thing is that you can do pieces if you want to shorten it, or more if you want a longer routine. I also teach a single coin, multi coin, or large coin ending.

That's a good selection of endings.

I went through a stage after I found a drawer full of miniature coins at a magic shop with dumping a bunch of tiny coins at the end of things and making lame jokes about "small change." It was probably a little dorky.

It's very well performed as everything Micheal does is excellent but I don't see where I would use this, its not impromptu due to the finish and if performing at a gig there are much stronger coin routines out there...Perhaps its good for those new to coin magic looking for some moves for a one coin routine though and you can't go wrong with Michael teachong you.

The moves are flawless. The routine, not as flawless.

Warren, you can finish with one coin or a large coin, or with enough coins to go into another routine. You can also do pieces should you need to do a shorter routine, like these:

DannyDoyle, I am pretty comfortable with the routine, but I also teach some alternative moves for people to have a choice.

I understand what your saying Michael however without the finish that you show then this doesn't really offer anything that other one coin routines offer, obviously that's just my opinion which is why I said it's more suited to someone who is new to coin magic and looking to add a one coin routine to their repertoire.

Warren, I respect your opinion. There are, in fact, many one coin routines out there, and some are very good. Some are suited to specific styles, and if you like those, great. However, I have seen where magicians put the emphasis on showing empty hands, making that the focus of their routine. That interrupts the flow, and makes the routine a challenge over entertainment. Roth's routine (which is wonderful, is just a production, flurry, and large coin production. There's nothing wrong with that.
What I offer which is why I decided to release it, is a routine that flows, and has sequences that no one else does. Plus, it can be as short or as long as you want, depending on what you want to do. As you can see by the short clips, you can do a bit of magic or the whole routine. And continue by producting what you need for your next routine if you want to continue.
As with other routines, some might think that it isn't suited to their style, and that's fine. This is another offering that people can consider, whether they are beginners or more advanced (I feel that it is more for the intermediate worker).

Several transfers,moves,and the methods of showing the hands empty as well the ending, in addition to the flow of the routine. Some may like it, some may not, but it is all about finding ways to expand creativity and using new tools to help create the best version for you.

From Mickey Silver:
"Michael Rubinstein's "One Coin Routine Tutorial " is a fantastic resource for anyone eager to explore coin magic. With detailed explanations of impressive sleights, he weaves them together into a mesmerizing performance. Michael’s skill and passion are truly inspiring, and I can’t wait to master this routine myself!"

The ending? Nobody has ever done a huge body turn as cover? I’d argue it has been done way too much.

In the end I’m agreeing with Warren. I also think it has a ton of angle problems.

I’m glad Micky Silver liked it, whoever he is.

I think the context was pretty clear.
If I'm understanding correctly, it's a template for an impromptu routine in which you provide enough alternatives to really customize it?

If I'm correct, then I think that's a great tool to build off of. And it's a good routine. Everything has a reason for happening.

Thank you. There are many one coin routines commercially available. There are many magicians who just come up with their own routine. There are many magicians who want to learn a solid sequence, and if they desire, try to make it their own. This routine is for people who want to learn a solid worker routine that teaches material and presents ideas not found elsewhere. A person earlier made a comment that he feels angles are a concern. Actually, that is always the case with coin magic, as the performer should always look at angles when working - what works one on one, what works in a show, what works in walk around or table hopping situation.
I use this routine as well as pieces (which you can see in a youtube link), depending on where I perform and what I plan on performing in addition to this routine. If someone asks me to perform something, this is what I do. For years. I am proud to present this as a video tutorial to the magic community (although a shortened version appeared in print about a year ago, and the flurry was taught in the commercial effect that I sold called "The Other Hand". I feel people will be more than happy with this routine.
