Default Coin Contest #1

This is my first contest here. Watch the video, post your entries, and have fun.
Feel free to ask questions, but please be reasonable.



I realized I forgot to add when this ends. This contest ends on Monday, February 14th at 11:59 PM EST (figure it out-- that's what works for me)

Rules
1) NO GIMMICKED/GAFFED COINS (the routine or effect does not have to be clean though)
2) Originality is not required, but suggested
3) Routines are preferred over single vanishes, though flurries are acceptable

Caveats
1) Mark, though you may decide not to, if you do enter you can only use one hand
2) DO NOT DO A MATRIX. please
3) Have fun

Prizes
1st will receive a bicycle karnival deck, if there are more than 10 entrants I will be giving out a bee erdnase to 1st AND the karnival deck to 2nd

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

Haha You should have just said, "Mark, you cannot use your hands" because he will still amaze you. I'm serious... somehow...

Bah! I'm still beginning to learn coin magic, so I can't enter

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.

THE FLASH.

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