Toothpick Spin |
||
| Description | This trick involves spinning a toothpick on a stationary coin with a finger. | |
| Start | Place a large diameter coin on a flat surface in front of you. Use a coin that has a raised rim around the edge. Now place one end of a toothpick against this ridge and push down on the other end with the index finger. The toothpick should be mostly vertictal with the top end above the opposite side of the coin to the bottom end, so you are effectively pushing the bottom tip of the toothpick into the rim of the coin. | |
| Directions | Now push the top end around in a circle following the circumference of the coin so that the bottom end of the toothpick also rotates around the edge of the coin. | |
| Comments | You need a fairly rough surface for the coin so that it does
not slide away.
The trick can also be done with a pen. |
