You should have made sure Mark could not use the Flash... a bit too late, eh?

Albert, we must somehow come up with the best coin routine possible together. I'll split half the deck with you.

... seriously... COINS!!!??? unless we all get Ponta the Smith's mind and skills, making a new routine is quite hard... there's not that many sleights as cards and they aren't as easy to master and apply as card sleights( srly... you can use a second deal as a switch if you're good enough, but a coin vanish is simply a vanish)... i'll try and join as soon as i master Ponta's one coin routine...
BTW: no matrix? really? but they are the best ones...

Neato! Great job setting this up!
I think I will promote this in my next video's description. I wonder though.. what exactly is meant with gimmicks? Every extra prop (like in '3 Fly') or just dirty gaffed ones? If you mean the first one this will be very limited though. |

Thank you mark! It would be much appreciated. And by gimmick I mean not a real coin. That's what I attempted to clear up in that it doesn't have to be impromptu- for example you could use 4 coins for a 3 coins across kind of thing, but no shells/copper-silver etc.
Again, originality is not required, but it helps- don't stress out too much trying to come up with something completely new. Also if you take an unoriginal plot but present it in a new way, that works too. What I don't want is a carbon-copy of someone else's material.

But Mark still can only use 1 hand, so it's still really hard
