Hi fellow coin workers-

This is a move I saw John Carney and Shoot Ogawa did during their coin to glass effect. With the hand that holds the glass, at one point they can make a clink sound inside the glass which creates the illusion a coin from other hand travel to it. It is not the move where you drop a coin from classic palm, the palm is below the bottom of the glass. It is very clean and open.

I thought about it - maybe they just shake the glass suddenly, but wouldn't it be too obvious?

Does anyone know the move? Is it taught by anyone on DVD or book?

If they had a coin in their hand holding the glass it would be easy enough. Or a finger ring?

Kind of sounds like a click pass that you would use with an Okito Box.

I think I know what he's talking about. Shoot uses the Muscle Pass to move one coin to the other hand in his routine. If I'm not mistaken, that's where the clink comes in.

actually i think shoot is just faking the coin arriving, and then showing it has come out by using a Han Pein Cheing in his other hand.

There are several options here:

If the clink sound is hear and a coin is inside the glass he might have used a muscle pass from the hand not holding the coin.

If the clink is heard but there's no coin in the glass, he did a muscle pass with the hand that's holding the glass.

If you hear the clink and he quickly moves the glass down to the table to apparently drop the coin that appeared he might be using a muscle pass with the hand that is holding the coin and then a Hand Ping Chen with the other hand (or possibly the same hand, it would just be a modified Hand Ping Chen). Or was it Chen Ping Hand (or possibly a modified Chen Ping Hand)? I can't remember which one it is but it's the one where the coin comes out of the hand.
