Hey Tom,
I am glad to see you getting the recognition. Your Work,.. your Path,.. is unique. You perform the best Steeple Chase (Coin over the Knuckles) I´ve seen. When,.. Where does the Speed come from? Any insider `tips´,.. tricks,.. short-cuts? thanks, gallagher. |

I like that old joke, "How do you get to Carnegie Hall?. . . . . . practice!"
I don't think there are any tips or shortcuts to doing a fast coin roll, it's really just years of practice and self denial. Hours of celibacy! Years ago in 1983 I lived in New York City. I loved the Saturday Afternoon Sessions at Ruben's Deli. These were great sessions with Mike Gallo (who was working behind the counter at Tannen's), Sol Stone, Harry Lorayne, Geoff Latta, Ken Krenzel, Frank Garcia and many others. It was at one of the sessions where I saw Sol Stone doing a hand to hand coin roll. I thought it looked very cool. that's' what I've been doing ever since. Perhaps it looks faster than it is because you eliminate the carrying of the coin under the fingers to bring it back round. You just go from hand to hand If this isn't clear, it's at the begining of this short practice clip. Not too fast though, I might add. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTV6Ujn7SaU |

For someone just learning to roll a coin, what type of coin do you recommend? Maybe a foreign coin?

Any coin half dollar size would be good to start out with.
