Hi, Eric here is my video for the contest.  I hope its all right. 

I combined coins, cards, and chips in the video to make it a little more original this time. :-D

Anyways, here is my little write-up on the video.

First of all I did a one coin routine which I put together, but which was inspired by Jay Sankey, some David Roth moves, Apollo Robbins, Shoot Ogawa, and some ideas from Bobo's Modern Coin Magic. The final vanish/reproduction is on Jay Sankey's coin video but it is in print in Bobo's book as well. One of the productions used is also like Jay Sankey's Waterwheel production but I do it a little differently and I used it for a different purpose than he does.  Other than that, just basic vanishes are used.

With the chip tricks I just did applied card knowledge to chips. Kinda weird huh? Basically I did a couple flourishy cuts with a stack of 3 poker chips. The first one is based on Blind Rotational Sybil by Cap Casino, but its done with chips. The second cut is just a basic cut, sort of like a Trinary Cut, but not exactly the same. Then I just do a small overhand shuffle with the 3 chips.

The next portion is just a card vanish and reproduction. I really like this and just learned it quite recently from a couple magician friends.

On to the tougher stuff (for me anyways): With the cards I first do Blind Rotational Sybil, but it is my variation. I don't leave any of the pack in my left hand when I do it. Also, I have changed the ending which you can see in the video, by using a one handed fan, charlier cuts, and some other turn-over type moves. Next is the Harwin cut by Jonas Haglund. I think I spelled that correctly, but I may be wrong. Then I do the Freak-Out Cut by Jonas also. After that I do a 4 Ace production which a friend of mine created. Lastly, I do a thumb fan and close the fan with one hand.

Hope you all enjoy my video and good luck with your videos.
