Coin Magic - Downs palm


The coin is held horizontally in the fork of the thumb by pressure of the latter and the base of the first finger pressing together against opposite edges. Image A shows this position but from a different angle than viewed by the audience (the image does not get to see your hand as in image A).
To bring the coin to this position, hold it vertically between the tips of the first two fingers, as in image B. Then curl these two fingers inward, depositing the coin behind the thumb, where it is gripped against the base of the first finger. When the fingers are straightened the hand appears empty, as in image C.
