<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clavdivs, post: 5381960, member: 93702&quot;]Very interesting attempt... I tried a few ways.. and I really was not as successful as you. I haven&#039;t tried recently.</p><p><br /></p><p>-stationary coin and camera - moving the light only</p><p>-stationary coin and light - moving the camera only</p><p>-stationary camera and light - moving the coin only</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The only one that worked for me (and seems to be the standard for dealers like HJB) is the third option.
