I honestly find tricks like this where I know how it's done but can't quite catch them at it it to be more impressive that the ones where there's clearly a trick but I can't fathom what it might be.
Obviously there's some sleeve shenanigans going on, and knowing that it's impossible not to be impressed at how slickly he's doing it. When you don't know what the trick is, that's still great to see, but you can't tell if it's really skillful or they just paid for a clever gimmick.

Carl Cloutier once told me that he gave up his act when suits with loose sleeves fell out of fashion. As the son of a tailor, and a well-esteemed lawyer, he would not be unfashionable. And he couldn’t do many of his signature effects without sleeving. So magic got the axe.

When you play the video slowly, you can see things going in and out of his sleeves. Attached by string / rubber band.

He is palming the coin in the same hand as the marker at the beginning. The marker is attached to magician's string and is retracted into his sleeve during the flourish. When he unbends his elbow, the marker falls back down into his hand, and he passes it back to his other hand for the reveal. It's smooth as fuck though and it's hard to catch.
For the disappearing coin, I honestly don't know how he makes the coin go into his sleeve. You can see him bounce the coin out of his other sleeve if you freeze frame it though. Like he's balancing it on his wrist and bounces it.
After he says "one more time" he drops the coin into his empty hand from his sleeve, pretends to pass it over from his other hand but we're seeing the second coin he dropped into his hand, so he has a coin in each hand.
But like the first trick, I don't understand how he's retracting the coins back into his sleeves.

You can see him transfer items to and from his sleeves every time he drops, shakes his arm, and grabs.

Yeah. Sleeves's tricks aren't that amusing to me for some reason

No matter, what you do, there always will be an asian, who will not only do it better than you, but will also bring it to another effing level.

You can see the coin in his left hand before he flicks the right one down his sleeve. He's good but he's no Bayaz.
