Coin Magic - The Thumb Palm



The coin is clipped by its edge in the fork of the thumb by pressure against the base of the first finger (figure A). The coin should be held rather loosely to permit the thumb to assume as natural a position as possible. Practice this in front of a mirror.
To place the coin in this position, begin with it between the tips of the first two fingers (figure B). Curl these two fingerss inward until the top edge of the coin touches the upper palm at the crotch of the thumb, then bring the thumb down and grip it by its edge (figure C) as the fingers straighten out.
To transfer the coin from the thumb palm to the classic palm, bend the second and third fingers inward as you lower the thumb (which action brings the coin closer to the palm), press the tips of these two fingers against the flat side of the coin and press it into the palm.

This explanation was stolen almost exactly word-by word from the coin magic master J.B. Bobo. Shame!!

Hey there this is somewhat of off topic but I
was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if
you have to manually code with HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted
to get advice from someone with experience.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
