Roll Down Balance



Description A nice looking variation of the Four Coin Roll Down with a coin balanced on the tip of the middle finger throughout the move.
Start Start with a stack of five coins held edgewise between the thumb and index finger. The hand should be held with the fingers parallel to the ground.
Directions
  1. Place the tip of the middle finger against the bottom of the outer coin.
  2. Release the grip on the outer coin with the thumb and let the coin fall down onto the tip of the middle finger so thats its center is over the tip of the middle finger. Rotate the hand up so that the fingers point upwards, and the middle finger has a coin balanced on the tip.
  3. Perform the Four Coin Roll Down as normal making sure to not drop the coin balanced on the middle finger.
  4. Reverse the moves to get back to the start.
Comments
If you are like me you will have learnt the Roll Down methods with the fingers parallel to the ground. For the balance you have to change this so that the fingers are perpendicular to the ground so it will take a little while to be comfortable with this change in position.

Its not a lot harder than the normal Four Coin Roll Down, it just takes a little while to learn how to do it without dropping the balanced coin. I find the first splitting of the coins to be the hard part, after that rolling out the last two coins isnt hard.
