Coin Trick: How to Roll a Coin Across Your Knuckles [HD]

this is the coin roll it's one of the most popular coin flourishes and it's great it looks good it's fun to do and I'm going to show you how to do it okay so let's do this you're going to hold a card or not the card the coin in your hand and the size of the coin you know it's going to vary from person to person I typically use a quarter but if your hand is bigger or small you might want to choose a different size for me nickels are work good quarters work good once you learn this you can do it with a variety of different sizes so you're not really restricted by the size all that much but pick a coin that works for you for now quarter is going to work pretty well for most of you you're going to lay it in your hand and here's what you're going to do so you're going to contact the coin with your thumb you're going to turn your hand palm down as you slide that coin all the way up to this position okay next what you're going to do is you're going to continue to slide that coin up and you're going to let it fall flat on the top of your first finger okay now notice that my middle finger is raised slightly above my first finger and it acts kind of as a break okay so even if I stay into my hand downwards like this that coin isn't going to move it's the the middle finger is blocking it okay next step is I'm going to lower my middle finger and at the same time I'm kind of raising my first finger just a little bit and that's going to cause that coin to pivot up and if I continue that motion the coin is going to fall flat on my middle finger and again now I have my ring finger raised slightly above my middle finger to act as a break so that coin won't even if my hand is slanted and I just do the same thing again with the next finger this time I'm lowering my ring finger I'm raising my middle finger that causes the coin to pivot up and then it's going to fall flat on the next finger alright now this takes practice you know you're not going to be able to do it the first time you you kind of just have to play around with it until you get it and the next step is going to be the same thing this time I'm lowering my pinkie raising my ring finger and now this is actually is part okay I don't have another finger to roll to so instead I'm going to let that coin fall through the crack in between my middle or excuse me in between my ring finger and pinky and I'm going to be catching it on the other side of my hand with my thumb okay so I usually get to something like this position right here and then here's what happens this is going to be this is going to be difficult for some of you because your thumb isn't good I'm going to stretch all the way over there you need to get your thumb on the left side of that coin so on the side of the coin it's facing your pinky okay so this this might be a difficult stretch for some of you especially if this is your first time trying this but as you practice this will become easier your your fingers will learn to move and flex in different ways and then you won't really have to struggle with this anymore okay so once you get that deck stirred you're going to be able to bring your thumb to the left side of that coin you're going to push up until it's flat in your palm and then you're just going to start the whole cycle all over again slide it up to this position and you're ready to go again so that's what that looks like just pay attention to how I'm doing the slide boom okay and once I get to this position you'll notice that I'm kind of training my hands slightly you palm up to help slide and then I turn the hand palm down for the role all right all right one final note is that some people I've seen they like to do the coin roll in the opposite direction so they actually start at their pinky and then they move towards their first finger I haven't really practiced this but you can do it that way and then of course when you do the slide you're just going to be sliding in the opposite direction the reason I the reason I recommend the first way I taught you is because it's it feels more comfortable this way your hand is oriented in a more comfortable position and you can really use gravity to your advantage when you do it in this direction the gravity will really help that coin flip over and fall flat onto the next finger whereas if you do it in the opposite direction your hand has to be kind of positioned upwards like this and it just doesn't feel comfortable but eventually you might want learn it both ways and you could make the coin flip back and forth if that's something you want let's try that with the normal direction just like this and do the coin do the coin roll slowly don't worry about speed just practice getting the coin to properly flip over onto the next finger the next finger and then practice that slide up to the beginning all right that's the coin roll I hope that helps if you have any questions regarding this move feel free to leave a comment in the comment box below and I'll try to answer and let me know what you think of that okay take care

The metal levitation trick is next lesson, right? When do we get to fight Wolverine?

When I started this about 20min ago I thought it would be a lot easier.

i learnt the opposite way first. i'm a contact juggler and i found the opposite way easier then the way you described, weird huh? Your video helped, i can now do this in both directions on both hands. passing the coin back to the start position between the thumb and index was where i was going wrong, for some reason i was spinning the coin again in my palm. :S

Got it in 5 minutes. Here is a tip for everyone: try to do it without watching at your hand, this will make it better for you to get a feel of movement.

Edit: Forgot to mention that it's not my video!

This guy has very long fingers, so it seems to be a bit easier for him to do.
