Edge Balance
Two Coins - Variation 2
Description Hard to get to, hard to keep the balance.
Start Start as for Variation 1.
Directions The image above shows the trick done with two Australian 50c pieces. These make the trick easier as they have flat edges. Doing this with round coins is much harder, if even possible.
Variations
 There is a method for doing the balance with round coins by cheating. Take a matchstick or toothpick twice the length of a coins diameter. Position the two coins as in the above balance but the matchstick is held between the thumb and middle finger behind the coins, so that it is out of sight. The matchstick helps support the coins making the balance quite easy. Now pass the coins to a friend but keep the matchstick hidden and challange them to repeat the trick.
