Rolling a coin. Tips for a magician

Focus Description:

The performer demonstrates his skill as a magician by making half a dollar roll from finger to finger on their back. When the coin completes its amazing run by rolling off the little finger, it immediately reappears between the thumb and forefinger and starts running again.

The magician rolls the coin over and over again on all his fingers: the coin seems to come to life and roll of its own accord. The masterful execution of the coin rolling lends the program a sheen of the highest professionalism.

Focus secret:

Note. So that you can follow how the coin rolls over your fingers, we put on the letters A and B at opposite points on the edge of the coin.

1. Hold the edge of the coin with your thumb at point A, placing it on your index finger.

2. Push the coin up, releasing your thumb, allowing it to flip over the back of your index finger at the middle bone.

3. Raise your middle finger so that point B is between your index and middle fingers. The coin will take an intermediate position, sandwiched between the index and middle fingers.

4. Without stopping, lift your index finger, which will lead the coin to the back of the middle finger.

5. Raise your ring finger and pinch the edge at point A to allow the coin to roll over your middle finger. The coin will again take an intermediate position, sandwiched between the middle and ring fingers.

6. Without stopping, with the tilt of the hand, let the coin lie on the back of the ring finger.

7. Raise your little finger and hold point B on the edge of the coin. The coin took an intermediate position between the ring finger and the little finger.

8. Raise your little finger and let the coin slip or pull it down with your little finger through the gap between your ring finger and little finger. Most of the coin at this moment protrudes from below, from the side of the palm, and the rest of the coin is sandwiched between the ring finger and little finger.

9. Place your thumb under the coin.

10. Release the coin and balance it on the ball of your thumb.

11. Pass the thumb with the coin under the fingers and bring the coin to its original position on the lower joint of the index finger.

12. Now you can flip the coin over the bone of your index finger and start the procedure again. Repeat the entire procedure as many times as you wish.

In addition to its value as a decorative manipulation, Rolling a coin will help you develop finger dexterity, as they will have to be "developed" in the process of learning difficult movements performed quickly and with great precision.

Mastering Coin Roll will require you to practice long and hard. Depending on the size of the brush, decide for yourself which coin to use: a half dollar (most often), or a quarter, or a silver dollar. Although we give a detailed description of each movement, you may develop your own slightly different technique from this one that suits your hand better. Some performers may roll more than one coin on one hand, or roll one coin on their right hand and another on their left at the same time. But do not expect that you will be able to quickly master such manipulation options.

This manipulation has a huge advantage: the execution technique can be practiced while sitting at the TV, listening to the radio, while traveling - whenever you have free hands and you will not disturb anyone if you drop a coin - and you will definitely drop it, learning this manipulation. The one who owns the rolling technique is guaranteed the attention of others: here he sits idly, and the coin itself lazily rolls along his hand!

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

The threat of space debris to the Earth's magnetic field 01.05.2024

More and more often we hear about an increase in the amount of space debris surrounding our planet. However, it is not only active satellites and spacecraft that contribute to this problem, but also debris from old missions. The growing number of satellites launched by companies like SpaceX creates not only opportunities for the development of the Internet, but also serious threats to space security. Experts are now turning their attention to the potential implications for the Earth's magnetic field. Dr. Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics emphasizes that companies are rapidly deploying satellite constellations, and the number of satellites could grow to 100 in the next decade. The rapid development of these cosmic armadas of satellites can lead to contamination of the Earth's plasma environment with dangerous debris and a threat to the stability of the magnetosphere. Metal debris from used rockets can disrupt the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Both of these systems play a key role in protecting the atmosphere and maintaining ... >>

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Handwriting makes kids smarter 09.10.2020

Scientists from the Norwegian Institute of Natural and Technical Sciences (NTNU) conducted a study with children and young people, which showed that writing by hand causes much more activity in the sensorimotor parts of the brain, the press service of the university reports.

The first such study was conducted by NTNU scientists in 2017: then they observed the brain activity of 20 students. Now 12 young people and 12 children participated in the experiment. It took 45 minutes to examine each person, and the researchers received 500 data items per second.

Both times - now and three years ago - the researchers used EEG to track and record participants' brain wave activity. The subjects were put on hoods with more than 250 electrodes. Sensors in the electrodes picked up the electrical activity occurring in the brain as participants wrote by hand and typed on a keyboard.

The results showed that the brains of both young people and children are much more active when people write by hand than when they type on a keyboard.

“Using pen and paper creates more hooks in the brain to attach your memories to. Writing by hand creates much more activity in the sensorimotor parts of the brain. which is released as you write. These sensory experiences create contact between different parts of the brain and open it up for learning," said Audrey Van der Meer, who led the study.
