When I'm trying this, I have a hard time getting the back clip consistent. Sometimes I "overclip" if that makes sense. It would be hidden with the correct angles, but I was wondering if anyone else has this problem. I admit that I haven't tried it as much as I should and that accuracy will come with more practice, but I was wondering if anyone else has this problem.

Yes, everyone does. It just takes lots of practice. Overclip, underclip, drop, sweaty hands make a difference.
Just keep at it. One of the most magical coin routines around.

It's a magical coin routine, but I find my pinky too short to do the g** pinch.
Always drop the coins. |

Is there any reason for not using deep backclip?
...to all the coins I've dropped here

Deep backclip has better angles, but is much harder to get into and retrieve from while rolling your hand in and out of a fist. The Wilson/Sankey routines require this immediate entry/exit of the move.
I personally prefer the middle finger back clip popularized by Harvey Rosenthal for this type of routine. Where the coin is clipped between the same fingers as the deep back clip but higher on the fingers more at the middle phalanges. Comparing the middle finger back clip with Tenkai clip, I feel they are pretty equal in the skill and speed needed to go into and out of. The middle finger back clip lends itself to an easier retrieval of multiple back clippped coins (see Gary Kurtz "Full Frontal Assault" manuscript or Paul Cummins routine "Underhanded Coins Across" from his "Up in Smoke" video for examples of this). |

Try practicing with half dollars .You will find it easier in time to do the back clip or (Gohshman Pinch ) when returning to quaters to perform this effect.
Jay Sankey does this on one of his videos. vinny |

Practice, practice, practice! When you get tired of it put it down. Come back to it in a few days. Also, leave 3 quarters in different areas of the house, and when you walk by, do it once or twice, then forget about it. I had found that the less I thought about it and the more I just did it, it became easier.

What is the best way to get the coin back from the Goshman pinch? Is it the actual toss of the hand or is there a sliding motion of the coin I don't know about.
