I'd say not bad. I think the video is too short, how would you clean up?

I didn't think of that yet but i got some ways for cleanup. Record a routine when I'm done with everything. Thanks for the comment... ^_^

Mod's note: Second time I'm editing your post. Please follow the rules.

It's not so interesting just by itself like that. :mellow:

Maybe come up with a routine and use that?

The vanish itself is good. But as others have said, try to integrate it into a routine (if possible). Why not a series of vanishes and productions? Visual, entertaining and a quick series of effects!

The video quality is rather poor but I can still say that its a good vanish but alone by itself will not be an impressive effect. As mentioned, use it and build into a routine.

For example it can be a vanish and re-production of something else like sponge ball, pen, dice, etc, use your creativity. IMHO, more important then "Where" the coin has gone to is "How" the coin has transformed or transposed to? The psychology behind the spectator's interpretation of the effect would be different.

My 2 cents worth of advice, have fun experimenting ^_^

I couldn't have said it better myself. Wonderful explanation.

Yes, and that is one reason why audiences generally do not like vanishes. Simply because they are usually not told (or they have no reason to believe) where something has vanished too.

The other reason is that being human beings, we love to create things out of nothing, to satisfy our desires and wants. So especially for money, it is always better to produce than to vanish.

Thanks Nick :D I was speaking from experiences and would like to share it with everyone. There's still a lot for me to learn from. We're one little magic community and we should help all fellow Magi to excel in this beautiful Art. Cheers ^_^

Your vanish is good. But there is a logic behind each vanish just like what jeromefang said. Try to work out a logic, and i think it'll be a really cool vanish. Try thinking like why does it have to vanish, and a probable answer would be to appear under somewhere or on someone's hands or shoulders? Just a thought
