Rick with the banger! crazy how you can make such a classic so much better and give it away! The rick roll retention is going down in the books as one the greatest coin vanishes. well done!
Best thing ever Rick. I lost my phone and didn’t have a new one for 4 weeks. Forgot my password, but thank goodness I have resigned with you. You are the total work. Thanks a billion.
Just saw this posted on the cafe... superb work Rick! The retention on this is great. Been playing around with it and there's also the possibility of the right hand doing a third movement after the coin is displayed in the left hand where first finger against the coin edge retracts slightly rolling it on the second finger creating a final sense of movement off the fingers into the hand as it closes over. It is interesting how extreme the positioining of the coin can get on the second finger whilst still being under control of the right hand.
I agree with many of f the comments. I want to thank you for sharing this with us too. On another note, though I enjoy the way you demonstrate your creativity, I would love to see it in some real world practice.
Man that’s smooth! Talking about why it works I think ties into your first point is our eyes fool us. It looks like the coin is actually rolling across your fingers so our mind just comes to that natural conclusion that it just rolls into the hand. Man. This is so good. Great example of not to practice until you get it right. Practice until you can’t mess it up.
This is a superb vanish and you are very very smooth so it. I appreciate the detail you go into and even explaining the ‘why it looks good’. Exceptional!
@RickHolcombe hey Rick.... question please... what is the best way to incorporate this move as I am counting several coins from one hand to another so as to make it all appear to be seamless?
If you want to hold one of them back, I would do the move on the last coin counted. Then, get the sou d element from the coins already in the other hand.
@RickHolcombe so what I am working on doing is... I have 3 Morgan Silver Dollars. I am holding them in my Right Hand and am Rolling each One over my Index Finger, onto my left palm, with the left fingers slightly curled up. After I flip the 1st Coin over, I then flip the 2nd Coin over and as it is being flipped, I catch it with my middle finger, so as to retain it. Then as I flip the last Coin onto my hand, I then pull the retained Coin back into my hand so as to Palm it. Is that what I understood you to suggest please?
Your explanations were excellent, your various camera angles utilized in displaying this trick were superb. Thank you you for sharing this brilliant trick. I’m now subscribed.
You can reference my older video for additional insights. ruclips.net/video/FGDk_9AVCbY/видео.htmlsi=pGlFR7zQKS0lggrc You can go anywhere with the coin: classic palm, then a changeover, or back thumb palm, or balance palm.
Great! Would be extremely cool if you would also explain, how you hide the coin in your right hand after you‘ve finished the move. When showing the left hand „empty“ it‘s clear that all the heat is on the right hand.
I was wondering about that too. In the Intro, the final move of the trick he vanishes the coin then he shows both hands empty! I wish he would explain how he did that.
This is a great, subtle variation Rick. I use your rolling retention all the time to add a little variety to routines. I am guilty of…not so much exaggerating the movements, but allowing the coin to actually release from my fingertips for a fraction of an inch. This gives a nice illusion in the mirror, but sacrifices a lot of control and is an 8 out of 10 success for me. I like this smartly named, and beautifully executed Rick Roll Retention much better. It is really kind of you to share it.
If he makes it disappear from the right hand at the end why should we believe he needs trickery to make it disappear from the left hand? He's pulling our legs 😂
This is such a clean and natural looking Vanish! Will be adding this to my existing routines. Thanks for sharing this with the magic community. Love it!
Seeing this on my suggestions was the best part of my day 😂 And as someone that very much was too focused on the "roll" in the first iteration, thank you for the clarification!
Not a magician but amazed at how good this looks even when you see how it’s done. From over the shoulder you’re not fooled but from in from it looks incredibly real. Nice work
Not sure if Schneider's snap back preceded Mickey Silver's retention, but if so, Silver perfected the technique of retaining it. I would still say Mickey's retention is the best BUT I think your rolling vanish (which I marveled at three years ago) is every bit as good....and ORIGINAL. You have a lot to be proud of with this one, Rick. Btw, I'm not sure how you showed the dirty hand to be clean at the very beginning, but again, kudos!
Thanks for the kind words! Schnieder predated Mickey Silver by a loooong time. Mickey Silver vanish looks very similar to a Ken Krenzel idea published in Apocalypse volume 1, but I don't know if that's where he was inspired from.
Judging by the pic on his 1975 "Schneider On Coins", he looked to be in his mid-late 20's. Add 48 years and that would put him to be in his mid 70's or so. Mickey (Michael Sweeney), although in the carpet cleaning business for many years is also in his early-mid 70's, although he lies about his age. Not sure if Mickey was doing magic while in the carpet business, but probably. The question is who he borrowed from. Perhaps Krenzel. One thing I find interesting about Mickey's retention is how he conditions the audience to accept how he holds his dirty hand after the vanish. It's really a shame that he refuses to do a tutorial. You must feel incredibly proud to have originated the rolling retention. It's so awesome. @@RickHolcombe
Great video. My own retention makes also use of the Al Schneider inspired usage of the middlefinger rest position.. I think I may add your Rick Roll Retention into my repertoire. I love the Name because of the meme. Keep on creating
just caught your video and really enjoyed it. I have done card magic for years but never ventured into coin magic because I never found any instructions that made sense to me or I became frustrated during practice and would quit. I found your video so informative and your instructions easy to follow. Your performance has inspired me to begin practicing again. I do have a question of you since I have not explored all of your videos. Where do I start? Which of your videos would serve me best in beginning this next journey? Thank you for your work and creativity Thank you in advance
Thanks, Ken. That means a lot. Since I first posted on You Tube, I have always wanted to put the best coin magic out there without any fake RUclips personality, or over-produced videos; just straight instruction/discussions and reviews. It's nice to hear when that resonates with people. I would recommend starting here: ruclips.net/video/96ypPs5bhBo/видео.htmlsi=JjOJb6cC8te-WZRc Then watch from that point on. Those videos are pretty old now, but the info is forever relevant.
This looks so good and casual. I might be way off but I could see using this to "put" a coin under an object like a playing card for a matrix or even under a phone. Hell maybe the recessed bottom of a beer mug at a bar. The built in action just seems to welcome the back of the hand to touch a table and imply casualness. "I'm just rolling a coin out of my hand and it can land wherever." I think this is really good and I'm excited about it in case you can't tell haha.
@justindeschain2532. That's a great idea. Yes. Because the coin never really rolls and is under the control of the retention hand, you could use a card or coffee mug just as the closing fingers like a screen. Great thinking. If you just pretend to place it causally under the card or phone as your pattering you got the one ahead method right off the bat. Excellent thanks
I have a really cool coin move where I can show you the front and back of the hand and the coin is not seen. I think I’ll make a video on how to do this move and call it the JD thingamajig move.
Going to learn this. The regular retention vanish is Ok, but I feel it's too far into finger palm position. This looks better because it does look more like it's barely held by the fingers and in view and can catch the light more. Awesome 👌
Wowie, this looks really clean and fooling. Pretty cool. Just found out about your channel today(video was recomended) and i like you already. Hope to see more of ye.
Thanks for stopping by, my friend. I'll be posting on a regular schedule now. Really useable, easy to do coin magic. Theres also my older videos to browse through.
Is the coin being clipped? I'm using a 50 cent piece and can't do the tilt without the coin sliding or falling and cannot keep on middle fingertip area.
Rick!! This is Fantastic, thank you for such a great contribution. The extreme tilt of the hold out hand and the glimmer flash make it very unique and natural. I love that there's no hand washing or complicated turning of the body. WOW. I watched it more than 10 times before looking at the tutorial and still couldn't really pin it down. The subtle transfer back to the other hand to show both hands empty blew me away. So clean.
I too have been performing the retention vantage for around 30 years and have never seen this particular vanish. This is a brilliant advantage. It looks so good. Thanks for showing this as I have to do a performance in Toronto for 30 minutes at the international Magic convention this summer.
This is so brilliant! 🔥
Thank you my friend! Feel free to share.
It truly is. This is actually genius.
This is wildly smooth.
It’s like a flowing flourish added to The Crossbow Vanish imo
After performing the retention vanish for 40 years I think I just found a new one to try out. This is brilliant!
It's so easy too! Have fun
Thank you so much! I feel like the hand action in this is more natural than a classic retention vanish.
Me too!
Absolutely. Much more casual than "placing a coin in the other hand".
Rick with the banger! crazy how you can make such a classic so much better and give it away! The rick roll retention is going down in the books as one the greatest coin vanishes. well done!
Make it so
Best thing ever Rick. I lost my phone and didn’t have a new one for 4 weeks. Forgot my password, but thank goodness I have resigned with you. You are the total work. Thanks a billion.
So beautiful! Fooled me every time you did it. I have to learn this one well. Thanks, Rick.

This is a superb vanish and you are very very smooth so it. I appreciate the detail you go into and even explaining the ‘why it looks good’. Exceptional!
Brilliant! Very well performed and taught. Thank you!
Another Excellerant Tutorial. This is exactly what I am looking for, for a coin routine I am working on. Thanks for sharing.
Glad I could help!

Greetings from Scotland 🏴
Splendid. The most beautiful retention pass since David Roth's One.
Rick's teachings are very professional.
Congratulation!!!
Omg it's so graceful and beautiful!! ❤
Thanks for sharing!
LOOKS FANTASTIC! GENIUS development! Thank You So Much for sharing! Very gernerous of you. 👍
Hearing the coin clink on your ring doesn't hurt either. Really adds to the illusion.
Verdaderamente maravilloso, buen nombre para el pase, Rick-Roll , también puede llamarse “Rick and Roll”
Explicación sencilla y súper útil 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Gracias!
You do it so well. Interesting that the human mind enjoys being deceived.
Wonderful, Clear, Thorough Video.One of the Best!!
Amazing! Incredible! Fantastic!
Sir , Good wishes. I don't do how you do. Thank You so much for the routine of coin trick. God bless you.
Rick Roll ist a great move! I like this one more. Thanks for sharing👍👏
4:35 Even after seeing the method, it's still mind-meltingly convincing. My brain refuses to catch the retention.
I can watch it 1000 times you doing this move and I'm still fooled. The coin must be in your left hand...it must...
It's absolutely beautiful.
Super visual and great tutorial. Thanks
Looks so natural ❤
This looks super visual,thanks for sharing
Votre enseignement est incroyablement génial, merci énormément 🙏
4:55 so nice!!
Dude! Thanks for watching! I'm a big fan of yours
Thank you for sharing.
Well detailed tutorial Rick 👍😊👍😊👍😊🙌
Thanks Robert!
The struggle is real in the UK, trying this with a 10p coin 😵
Awesome retention.
great tutorial.
Outstanding, good sir.
Glad you liked it!
This looks so good & is so easy.
Thanx
beautiful work
I thought I was gonna get Rick-rolled (Astley) but this is much better. 😁
Thanx Rick
Brilliant!
Very cool trick my friend ❤
Beautiful work!!!❤
Thank you my friend
Don't learn pro magic from magicians, learn the basics from the pro.
Excellent trick. But in the beginning, you show it vanished from both
hands, but didn't explain how.
My skin is just too dry so the coin has no grip at all and at slightest movements it's falling down.
Is there a good advice for this problem?
Thank you !!
That looks really good :)
Beautiful.👍
Thanks Danny!
Incroyable 😮merci ❤❤👏🏼🙏🏼🤐
素晴らしい！！👍
No rick roll song?
Perfect
and if you call it allready Rick Roll, how fitting is never gona give you up, never gonna let you down
like, seriously
Right!
Brillant
how do u make it vanish from ur other hand tho
Refer back to my old video
ruclips.net/video/FGDk_9AVCbY/видео.htmlsi=pGlFR7zQKS0lggrc
First of all thank you. You are amazing. However You did not explain showing both hands empty and reproduction
You can reference my older video for additional insights.
ruclips.net/video/FGDk_9AVCbY/видео.htmlsi=pGlFR7zQKS0lggrc
You can go anywhere with the coin: classic palm, then a changeover, or back thumb palm, or balance palm.
@@RickHolcombe thank you once again for prompt reply….. you are amazing…
Wow
Your dexterity is insane. You explained the whole thing and yet it still looks like magic
Great!
Would be extremely cool if you would also explain, how you hide the coin in your right hand after you‘ve finished the move.
When showing the left hand „empty“ it‘s clear that all the heat is on the right hand.
I was wondering about that too. In the Intro, the final move of the trick he vanishes the coin then he shows both hands empty! I wish he would explain how he did that.
That leads down the road of hardship and tears.
Didn't see how he made both hands empty like at the beginning.
Yes and he talk too much, the Video can be 2min. long.
Near by 12min. is by far too long.
@@backtotheroots6678 truly
Also your teaching is the best with the overhead behind the scenes view, that is so vital!👍

So timely, im trying to decide which vanish to use for this routine, now here it is!!!!! Thanks Rick, so elegant as always
Thanks Brian!
@@RickHolcombe Of course Rick, so glad to get back to your videos! Can't wait for the the next ones

Never mind, I know where the coin went at the beginning. Verrry smooth on your part. I'd need to use stickum. :D
Brilliant retention. Among the best I've ever seen. So natural and amazingly unassuming. Thank you for sharing.
Great video. My own retention makes also use of the Al Schneider inspired usage of the middlefinger rest position.. I think I may add your Rick Roll Retention into my repertoire. I love the Name because of the meme. Keep on creating
Thanks man
Cool story bro.. But, how did you get it to seemingly disappear from both hands? In the big "Tada" moment..
First part the coin vanishes from both hands
Yes! Why does he not explain that?
But hang on, in the intro demonstration the coin disappeared from both hands! Both hands were empty. How did you do that? This video is incomplete!
I did a follow up video
ruclips.net/video/Hrnz2Tx8eeA/видео.htmlsi=lxGemplp2AVQoDrQ

Thank you, your tips, I m practicing your Magic style, I'm always watch your videos.
Rick !!!!!!
Thank you so very much for teaching this.
This is absolutely beautiful and perfect !!!
Pure genius in its creation.
Thanks!
Is the coin being clipped? I'm using a 50 cent piece and can't do the tilt without the coin sliding or falling and cannot keep on middle fingertip area.
I always loved the Rolling Retention vanish
This is even better
This looks like trick photography.
This is an incredible advance in coin magic...
Thanks George! And it's pretty easy to do!
Rick!! This is Fantastic, thank you for such a great contribution. The extreme tilt of the hold out hand and the glimmer flash make it very unique and natural.

It turns out that I’ve been doing this since I saw your original. rolling retention vanish.
I guess I should go back and learn it properly.
I too have been performing the retention vantage for around 30 years and have never seen this particular vanish. This is a brilliant advantage. It looks so good. Thanks for showing this as I have to do a performance in Toronto for 30 minutes at the international Magic convention this summer.
That is a problem with sleight of hands. It will never be perfect. You see it blink at several times. Nevertheless it is great.
So how is the last part performed? At the 6 sec mark it appears to have vanished from both hands.
Fantastic demonstration and explanation as always, thank you.
0:29, but you aren't explaining this :))
It looks so good, it makes me feel like there is something you're not showing us...lol
If my hands are really dry and the coin is dry there is no sticking. Do you suggest some sort of oil ?
I love it! Its so very casual and natural looking!
Thanks!
that for me explains many other tricks i have seen lately.
This is the first time I've seen this but it's really good!
