Torso Coin Magic
What the heck is that? ..I hear you ask.

Well I am fairly new to coin magic and always willing to string a few new sleights together and design a short routine. My purpose is to try things out, sadly even before I have practiced them enough! I know that's bad, but I think better than just reading up on close up magic, but never giving it a go. So here is a couple of clips about 1 minute each:

Ok, back to Torso Coin Magic, as I call it. If you record the 'whole performer' then the coins can appear quite small and lose impact. However, if you just frame the coin moves and the torso then maybe it losses that 'human element' and detracts from the performance. You never get so see the person's face or reactions. I am not a fan of just framing the torso, but have to concede, some of the best magic clips are of that nature e.g. Arnaud Chevrier's 3 coin routine based on exTROYdinary.

I would be very interested in people's views on my clips and opinions in this new era of sharing our art on-line and making it entertaining.

Loosen up, you seem very rigid. Not so keen on the choreography of your Wilson grip vanish. The moves themselves are getting there. Now I think it would be good to look at framing - not in the sense of what you can see on screen ett but keeping certain moves and sequences within a frame so as not to detract from effect.

I second the rigid comment. Your routine is there I think, now it just needs a polish. Work on flow and ease. Be Natural. Remember that nothing you do should look like you are doing anything. You are simple taking a coin, and putting a coin, and it just happens to be disappearing left and right! Keep up the beautiful work!

All the Best,
Josh

Great advice above. I think you've got the potential to be a stunner!
