I was taught the final move was called a "flop" when done in the hands only.
Not sure when the table is in play. Hope your demo inspires other to consider such moves. The production from the known empty hand is always more powerful than from the idle one. Keep on coming!

Vinny, your crimp palm is the best I have ever seen in person, I have been in coin magic a very long time and I can honestly say- "NOTHING" even comes close to that move of yours......... !!!! .... I will say though, Magicians will have to see it with their own eyes to believe it!!!

Clever stupid!
To see a difficult thing lightly handled gives the impression of the impossible.

I hope this "side chat" about one of the Sleights detracts for either the Crimp or the subtleties involved here.
Vinnie has crafted a misdirection masterpiece and "plausible impossible" flow of events. The "heads/tails" storyline provides a reason for the hand on the table and even the slap The Vanish provided a balance between Anticipation and Surprise that births astonishment without a need to "reconstruct." The "wand" provides Directed Focus and creates a false suspicion of the table hand while masking the Crimp (asynchronous causality) The pseudo-production from the shoulder by the "known to be empty" table hand psychologically plays on the "heads an shoulders" variation of Heads/tails and derails concern over the vanish. The resulting "believing" that the coin is actually in the table hand creates an Expectation of seeing it there, confabulated by concern over guessing heads or tails. There is no mental "seeing" how the coin got there since the observer already "knows" it is there. Now comes the important part -- do not perform this as a Transportation Effect, i.e. the coin vanishes from the right hand and appears in the left. There must never be any sense of "travel" lest the mental eye look for and travel. I have done effect using "visible flight" for decades and never burned, because the observer's mind is trained to "not see" as well as "story told." If you practice such an effect in a video you might see the coin. The observer never will unless you are afraid that they might. Vinnie's "Stupid Tricks" work because he knows the Crimp will not be seen, and he knows the spectator wants to find the coin under his hand. Kudos to the Godfather for demonstrating moving beyond "believing" I can hear the story told to grandchildren now ... "This guy was playing a heads and tails game when the coin vanished and suddenly appeared on my shoulder. No, he was never near me at all. I don't think he was trying to do anything magic -- it just happened. Wish I had a coin like that!"
