Downs Star
|
|
| Description | There are two ways to add a
fifth coin. This is the first method I developed for doing this trick. I have since found some better methods for creating the Downs Star effect so take a look at the Alternate Methods section. The first method below will still be useful though. |
|
Method 1
|
|
| Start | Start with a five coin stack on the palm. |
| Directions | Perform the 4 coin version but finish with two coins balanced on the index finger. Now use the thumb to slide the top coin off the index finger and onto the thumb. Transfering the coin from the top of the index finger to the thumb is easy but getting two coins on top of the index finger is pretty tricky. |
|
Method 2
|
|
| Start | Start as for the 4 coin version but hold a fifth coin in an Index Curl Grip. |
| Directions | Perform the 4 coin version as normal then finish by sliding the fifth coin onto the thumb. |
| Comments | The second one is the easier of the two methods, but not the nicest from the viewers perspective. |
