Balance Toss
Description These tricks involve balancing coins on the fingertips and tossing them from finger to finger.
Start Hold the hand out, palm up and balance a coin flatwise on the tip of the index finger.
Directions Toss the coin up a short distance and catch it on the middle finger. With practice you can quickly move the coin from the index finger to the pinkie finger and back.

Difficulty can be increased by increasing the angle between the finger and coin. Currently I do it with the coin parallel to the finger but can do some tricks with the coin at a 90º angle to the finger (i.e. balanced on the very tip of the finger rather than the pad).

Comments I prefer larger heavier coins for these tricks as it makes the balance easier.
Variations
  • Place a second coin on the middle finger and toss both coin across to the next fingers.
  • Place a 2 coin stack on the index finger and toss them to the next finger.
  • Place a 2 coin stack on the index finger. Toss the stack up with a slight sideways motion so that they seperate in the air. Catch one coin on the middle finger and the other on the ring finger.
  • Make a coin flip 180º during the toss.
  • Three coins at once.
  • Two coins on seperate fingers to a stack on one finger.
  • Toss the coin up and rotate the hand 180º to catch the coin on the back of a finger.
