Backspin Roll
|
||
| Description | A coin is bounced of a table with backspin so that
it rolls back into the hand that bounced it. When learning start with large light objects such as a plastic poker chip. |
|
| Start | Hold the chip
flatwise with the right thumb and
index finger at the 2
o'clock position. |

| Comments |
You
need a fairly rough surface texture for the coin to grip properly and
reverse its direction. A tablecloth or felt table works nicely. On a
smooth surface the chip tends to move to the left then spin in place,
though it can still be done if you are careful. Once you can do the trick with light plastic chips you can start working with heavier chips. |

| Variations |
Backspin
Bounce If you have a bouncy springy surface then you can cause the chip to bounce to the left on the initial contact with the table. Then when it lands the backspin will cause it to roll back to the hand. This variation is harder then the one described above but looks nicer. Backspin to Hand Roll If you do it on a smooth surface or a rough surface with a fair amount of force you can get the chip to roll away from the fingers a reasonable distance. Catch it with the other hand and repeat the move to roll the chip back to the original hand. |
