- Since this was brought up I guess I'ld share it with you. It is possible for a
- person to make a coin come up heads if s/he wants, or tails if s/he wants. In
- fact there are at least a few score people today who can do this. They are
- called magicians.
-
- What you saw was a coin being thrown in the air, the coin being caught, some
- funny quick hand motions which didn't catch your attention much, and a coin
- revealed on the back of a hand.
-
- The big secret is that this person is using three coins and great dexterity
- in the fingers.
