Great Coin Work

Rarely do I get really impressed with coin magic, but Eric Jones is one of the best I have seen out there.  I for one personally think coin magic is the hardest close-up magic discipline to perform well.  There has to be a naturalness and smoothness that takes much more time and effort than any card trick.  We all should support this guy.  Buy his new DVD that just came out.

Eric Jones hates card tricks but does Raise Rise? What am I missing.

Hope to see you again soon Eric,

Yes I have always been a fan of his work. Though most of the videos that I have seen of him were involving coins, some involved cards as well. He is one of the smoothest coin worker and he is pretty creative too.
I too believe that working with coins is more difficult than cards. The deck allows certain liberties which are lacking when performing coin magic. So if you bump into a coin worker who is really good then you can be sure that he knows his trade really well. Eric is one such awesome dude.

actually, he's been concentrating much more on card stuff recently, but both his coins and cards are pretty phenomenal.

also, just a really nice guy.
