Go thru Bobo's Modern Coin Magic or Richard Kaufman's book Coin Magic. Then there is David Roth's Expert Coin Magic, Modern Coin Magic alone should give you more then enough ideas.

The great and classic Squirting Nickel is great for those comedic situations.
Also check into some spellbound techniques.

You are going to cover that much material in five minutes? Seems a little rushed, just my opinion. Good luck with the routine.

Brian - two words: slow down.
Your selection is fine and should run 5 minutes or longer - IF you work at a pace that the audience can follow. To test this, find a friend to videotape your routine with just these particular pieces (the ones you initially listed). Have him put the timer function ON in the corner as well. This will do several things for you: it will help you discover any weaknesses in your execution of the effects, it will help you discover whether your timing is not too frenetic, and it will show you just how well (or not) you work for people. The video camera is absolutely unforgiving - and an accurate "third eye" for you to view your work through. If you do need to add material (which I seriously doubt), try Han Ping Chien. Done in a deliberate fashion, this is a classic. Hope this helps! Lee Darrow, C.Ht. http://www.leedarrow.com

Coin thru the hand is a blockbuster if performed properly....

I think that your selection of coins thru table and coins to pocket should last 5 minutes by itself. You should be interacting with the audience and having fun.

If you try to cram too much into your routine, then the audience will not remember any of your magic, just the fact that they couldn't keep up with you. Use what you have, and keep to a good even pace. I think you will find that you have more than enough for 5 mins.

What's the rush slow down and have fun. You and your audience should enjoy the time together. What you already have is enough to produce entertainment and wonder.
