Fingertip Fan |
||
| Description | This method involves fanning the coins along the tips of all four fingers. | |
| Start | Start as for the Spread Fan. Make sure that all of the fingers are held together with the tips level. This provides a base along which the coins can be fanned. | |
| Directions | Bend the thumb over to the index finger side of the stack and slide the thumb backwards so that the entire stack moves a half diameter. Continue this until the coins are fanned across the finger tips. The bottom coin will be over the index finger and the top coin over the pinkie finger. | |
| Comments | The disadvantage to this method is that it is harder to get a
neat fan. Also,
IMO, the completed fan does not look as nice as the previous version. The advantage is that after completing the fan you can remove the thumb to show the fanned coins resting on the fingertips. At first the fanning motion should be done slowly but speed can be increased until you can fan the coins in one fast smooth motion.

This method is a good way to get to the Downs Star. Perform the Fan with four coins and make sure that the trick finishes with each coin centered over a fingertip. Then seperate the fingers to complete the star. Reverse the moves to get back to the stack. | |
