Heres the challenge:
2 minutes How many coinrolls can you do sequentially without flubbing and *without* looking at your hand. Flubbing = dropping either partially or fully, going underneath too soon or loosing it off the end of the pinky, having to reach back up with the thumb to re-adjust drop on first finger after thumb leaves coin, any pause greater than 2 seconds during the roll on the finger. Good Luck! |

Wow 2 mins is a very long time. I said this one before in another post that in Japan they have coin rolls contest to see how many you can do in a min. I think the record is 42 or something like that. My average is 30 and my best was 35 so far.
Right now I'm working on rolling multiple coins rolling 2,3, even 4 coins down my knuckles

I time myself often I can get about the same as you, maybe a little less, on average, I can get about 28 in a minute.. but the days vary, some days I can fly, some days I cant even hold onto the coin. I think your state of mind has a lot to do with how well you do a coin roll, it may sound rediculous, but the times I am stressed, or ticked off, or nervous about something, are the same times I cant do a coin roll for S**T...
this happen to any of you? Later- Tom

I roll the coin back and forth; I dont use the thumb to carry the coin back under the hand. I went back & forth, counting that as one complete revolution, 52 times in one minute.

Im working on the back and forth thing, I am also working on rolling the coin across the next joint up on the fingers, with the palm up, and the fingers curled almost into a fist..

If you're talking about a one coin roll, you'd have to time me with a calendar. That's true for both hands. My hands'll start cramping before I'm in danger of dropping one. More than one coin on each hand and I start missing. I also can't do a coin roll with coins palmed very well, but I'm working on it.
