I wouldn't recommend this item. The instruction is good, but this is a flourish that can be easily grasped with a little practice and perfected with a ton of practice. I would recommend putting money towards "In the Beginning there were coins" available here on penguin.

Takes practice

Do you really need a video to teach you how to do this? I didn't find the video that helpful. It simply just takes lots and lots of practices. Tyas Frantz is pretty amazing at it, and don't expect to be as good as him...ever. Whenever I'm sitting around watching TV, I just practice this. Eventually, with time, it will come, just be patient. There's nothing bad about this download, I just feel that it's probably not necessary.

Coin Roll
by christurchinski from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada on 04/05/2010 02:50:39
The coin roll is a great flourish to be able to do. I very very often do this outside of my magic routine and I've found that it is certainly an attention grabber. Like other flourishes, it's only a flourish and nothing more. If you do a lot of coin magic however, this would make your routine all the more better. I've never come across a person who's told me, "That's not that great." If you don't already know how to do this, I recommend learning it. You'll be glad you did.

Worth it

Yes, you can watch the preview video and think you know how to do the coin roll. But the video provides several tips that I found made the purchase worthwhile. There are a few things that are not obvious about the technique, and also a few tips that could help you quite a bit. And the joke he makes at the end was a good one!
This one take lots and lots of practice,if you guys are the type of people who hate practicing for a long time then dont get it...I,however...loves practicing and I have been practicing for 5 months and still going.I have drop the coin for than 300 over times.I practice the coin roll for at least 3 hours non stop everyday.I would read a book,watch T.V,and I can still practice my coin roll!I can already do the coin roll 49 times a minute...I think I'll hit 50 coin rolls a minute in 2 weeks haha.I'm still trying to contact Malaysian book of records coz I wanna attempt to either be the first to set the record or be the person to break it haha.If you wanna get it,remember...to always keep practicing,dont stop.Coz,like every magician knows.There is no such thing as becoming perfect in one day.I just keep getting better and better while I'm practicing the coin roll.Also another tip for you is that once you've good in this one.Try praticing with other foreign currency coins and practice with coins of different sizes.The coin roll also gives you lots and lots of attention.If you're in a crowded place...do the coin roll.Everybody will look at you.Some will admit its amazing.Most of them will stare at you and your coin.This flourish will be your all time companion.GET IT NOW!This is my second review,same person.Accept I have just migrated to Aus to study haha.My first review was 4 months ago.4 months ago I could only do 16 times a minute.I have accelerated then.Now I'm planning to break the records! haha
