Hey, is it possible to do the HOPPING HALF with regular coins? Any ideas?

Here's how they explain it with regular coins:

Obviously, it's a lot harder to pull off than with shells, but hey...

Very interesting. They always tell me I tend to overcomplicate things.

It'd be great to get a reference for that; I'll check Conjuring Arts for it.

Anyway, it'd be smart to have the classic down pat, so your hand doesn't look stiff like in the video. I also think it'd be good to do the classic palm before going into the pocket, and then just stick your index and thumb in and bring them out empty... Not sure if that makes sense; I'll try to record it if I get a chance.

I can think of a way to do it in three phases instead of four, though it would need testing.

But it would be technically complicated and much less clean. It definitely wouldn't be the same.

That video shows you how to make it. The only thing is, I perform the production of the palmed coin a bit cleaner, not in such an abrupt way.
