Sankey, and I must say, he is an amusing fellow, with frequent little pieces that get a laugh.
Jay says you are really limited in what cards you can use, I don't actually agree, the trick is more flexible than he makes it out to be, though it was interesting to hear his comments.
In fact Jay himself comments on the similarities and differences, as well as addressing the question "is it better?" It becomes a classic question of whether one effect is really better than another, this is certainly a different technique, in many regards a substitute technique and Jay's got most of the subtleties worked out.

Jay Sankey does it by not fully taking the coin into the fist but leaving about half protruding, and it is with the part OUTSIDE the fist that the Click is made.
If I have then I am a bit puzzled to understand the benefit of taking the coin into the fist as it seems the the movement is counter to the general direction of the circular motion of the fist.
I don't know if I am making myself clear, but with the Sankey method the fist goes down and the act of the Click pushes the coin into the Clip nicely and the hand follows round and back up in a general circular movement.
