Turnover
 
|
| Description |
This trick involves laying out a line of
overlapping coins on one hand and
causing them to flip over with a move of that hand.
This trick is described in Bobo under the title The
Forty Coin
Turnover.
|
| Start |
Start with a line of overlapping coins extending from the
wrist to the tips of
the middle and ring fingers. The lowermost coin
should be on the fingertips while the
upper most coin is near the wrist. The starting position is shown in
the top left image.
You need a lot of coins for this trick. I have been doing it with about
25
20c pieces. |
| Directions |
Backwards:
With a slight curling of the middle and
ring fingers you should
be able cause the whole row
of coins to turn completely over resulting in a similiar line but now
the upper
coin is near the fingertips and the lower coin near the wrist.
Forwards:
From here you can reverse the move by slightly contracting the palm.

I find the reverse turnover much harder than the forwards
version. I can
currently do it with about 20 coins but it is slow, awkward and the
coins are
usually not in a neat line afterwards. It seems possible with more
practice.
With practice you should be able to control the speed of the
turnover. I can
do the forwards version slowly and smoothly.
