How many of you guys are told to "nick off down the backyard" or "turn the music up, so I can't hear those bloody coins " while practicing this particular sleight.

Someone told me of a dramatic improvement that would keep you from having to practice this for so long.
And it works. But now I cannot remember who. Show yourself. (oh and thanks for the tip.) p.s. I'm referring to the Himber 2 for 3 count.

That might have been me. On my Basic Coin Magic CD I explain a way to make the click pass surefire everytime (and with Jay's permission) my version of the 3 for 2 count which gets rid of the discrepancy of action.
If you look at the link in my .sig and replace the /bhm bit with /bcm you can watch the trailer for the CD which shows the count. Also, there is a review in the DVD section - do a search for Ian Kendall and it will pop up. Thanks, and take care, Ian |

RE: "my version of the 3 for 2 count which gets rid of the discrepancy of action"
I use the Himber / Sankey count quite often... I'm not aware of a discrepancy in the actions. In fact, I find the move so disarming and so natural, that my spectators very often look away from my hands and at my face or the bar top as I do the count. You can't get much stronger evidence that a move looks natural than that. Best, Mike |

Superb. I was referring to the fact that the last coin is thrown in from an open palm, which is a different action to the first two coins that are dropped from the thumb and index finger. I drop all three coins into the hand the same way.
But if it works for you, yay! Take care, Ian |

Given time and practice, I'm sure I'll get it looking good, plus it's nice down the backyard this time of year.
Thanks for the idea of the last coin being dropped in the same manner as the others Ian, 'tho think I prefer just chucking the last one in. Like the idea of it seeming so nonchalant Mike that it just goes by unnoticed as you must do..that's where I wanna get to ideally. Thanks fellas...stevie |

Frank-I told you about my improvement that I independently developed-but someone else has also developed it and would like to publish it so I am holding off sharing this publicly.

I think there are several ways of cycling the "last" coin into the other hand at the completion of the Himber Sankey count. The easiest is just simply tossing it, which is how Jay Sankey presented the move in his Revolutionary Coin Magic DVD. This can create a problem at times if you're holding something back in the primary hand, which I do often times. That piece of the puzzle is solved in various ways, which I won't go into here.
There are also several very natural ways of handling / recovering from a "mis cue" during the move, as the coins are being transferred from one hand to the other. The look of this sleight is open and innocent, but the mechanics provide a great oportunity to hide in plain sight. Quote:

I drop all three coins into the hand the same way. "Superb" is what I say to myself when the second coin does what I intend it to do, and "Yay!" is the look on the audience's faces when the routine as a whole goes well. The H/S Count is nothing more than a tool employed to get from point A to point B, no better or worse than the dozens of other tools which could just as easily be used to do the job. Best, Mike |

I have recently given Richard Kaufman my Pseudo Himber(PH) count for inclusion in Genii. This mimicks the look of the 2 as 3 count, but with different mechanics (and is surefire). Look for it there, or learn it at the Seminar in July!
