- KUNG-FU COIN GRAB
-
- Ahh Grasshopper, when you can grab the
- coin from my hand, you will be a master.
- Okay, so if you ever saw the old
- Kung-fu TV show, you know that
- Grasshopper had to grab grains of rice.
- Why nit-pick, this is still pretty good
- stuff.
-
- Have your victim hold a quarter in the
- palm of their hand. Hold your hand
- about eight inches above theirs and tell
- them that you can grab the quarter
- before they can close their hand. Offer
- to let them try first if they want. It
- may sound easy enough, but it is next to
- impossible if tried legitimately.
- Fortunately, you don't have to worry
- about such handicaps.
-
- Here's how you do it: Cup your hand,
- palm downwards, about eight inches or so
- above theirs. Instead of grabbing the
- coin, sharply strike their hand with
- yours. This will make the quarter
- bounce up into your hand. Don't be too
- overt about it, you want it to seem like
- a natural part of just grabbing the
- coin. Some people will think that the
- coin is still in their fist. If you
- want to make this a little more
- dramatic, ask them if they still have
- the coin before you open your hand to
- reveal your plunder. Stress how speed
- is important and how you have practiced
- for years. It can be very impressive if
- set up right. This is one that you will
- want to practice a bit first, but once
- you learn it, even when they see how you
- did it, you can still beat them.
