After several days of repeated tape watching and efforts to begin the sleights, I have an extra
review.
The biggest drawback I see is the FRENCH DROP approach to coin vanish. It's a stiff
vanish... stiff and something the magic community today general frowns on because it is not
natural...the argument against French Drop being that people don't hold coins or take coins that
way.
HOWEVER, HOWEVER...to be fair, this routine IS about a magician doing sleights with a
coin. You say that to the audience up front. So I think, upon further review, this is a nice routine
that matches the performer on this video -- dressed for a high-end audience and doing a stand-up
routine...not making any pretense about spontaneity.
I still do not like the French Drop,
though. Just get rid of how the vanishes start and you'll be okay.
