What about misdirection when you aren't sitting down at a table? I can understand dropping coins in your lap etc and deceiving people at a table and all.... but how would one drop a coin if standing? Maybe you can make a video about that?

@SchandlicherKre you wouldn't. you would most likely slide it into your pocket, or develop a palming arrangement it if you wanted to reproduce it later. you could use all of the principles that i've discussed generally in these five videos to make the misdirection work for you.

my best suggestion -- keep in mind that i don't know what you are trying to do -- would be to divert attention to your other hand with a large motion, and drop your hand to your side and the coin into your pocket

Your last example at 3:18 is funny because it does look like you've done it a million times and that you're sick of doing it :) I like your videos, interesting stuff.

"Continuity of flow".  Once again another brilliant subtlety that makes the difference between polished entertainment & otherwise 'mediocrity' in the theater of magical performance. You are a talented teacher & I would enjoy seeing you perform live. Fine work.
