This question was posed to me and I am not able to find an answer. I figured this would be my best bet.

Does anyone know who invented the coin/knuckle finger roll?

I don't believe so. In Bobo's, he mentions that it has been arund since before Downs so I wouldn't believe so. I got this from Joshua Jay's book so I don't know how accurate it is. I'm just assuming it is correct being that Josh never usually fails to credit the owners.

It's claimed by a couple of people. Nate Leipzig told a story about how he was playing with a button that had come off of his coat, and it fell down his knuckles, thus giving him the idea to replicate the movement with a coin.

I think the other contender might have been Alan Shaw, who claimed to have "discovered" the flourish when he missed a coin on stage, and it fell down the backs of his fingers, greatly impressing the crowd.

YES!!!

As far as I know, that's MY move. I modified it and made it way easier. I took all the hard work and hours of practice out of it and now anyone (using MY method) should be able to do it with very little effort!

I call it THE ULTIMATE STYLE COIN ROLL...


PM me if you'd like to master this move in minutes!
