Part 1 of 2: Position the coin and your hand

1. Choose your currency. Depending on the size of your hand and the dexterity of your fingers, you may want to use a smaller or larger coin. Some coins work better for one person than another, but you can experiment with different sizes and weighted coins to see what works best for you.
   • Larger and heavier coins can give beginners more grip and control over the coin.
   • Keep in mind that this trick takes a lot of practice. It will take time to coordinate the movements of your fingers as you control the movement of the coin.
2. Ready!

Tips

• Tilt your hand down slightly to use gravity to help the coin roll over. This helps to gain speed and looks better.
• Take off your rings when practicing, that will make it much easier.
• The best practice method for gaining speed is to always have the coin with you and when there is a spare time, use it to have fun.
• Once you can do this with both hands, try the trick with two hands next to each other for an extra long roll. When the coin has reached the end, switch hands and then start over.
• Don't give up too quickly - this trick requires a lot of patience and practice.
• Keep your fingers curled as you try to do this trick. Keeping your fingers straight gives you less control.
• It can take about six months from it constant taking practice to obtain flexibility with both hands.
• A larger coin works best for beginners, although a smaller coin will suffice if you have smaller hands. The Canadian Toonie can also work, albeit a bit heavier. This trick can also be done with a € 2 coin, a Mexican $ 10 peso and an American $ 1 coin.
• Once you've mastered it in one direction, you can learn to spin the coin back on your ring finger so you can roll it back and forth.
• One way to distract the audience during the trick is to talk to them.
