Coin help

Postby crispy » Aug 31st, '06, 20:01



I need to stick a coin to the back of my hand during a routine
from "gregory wilson's Off the cuff" .

I am having problems finding something suitable that meets the following
1) It needs to be ready to go from my pocket and not very messy
2) Strong enough to be held in place upside down while stuck to my hand.
3) Not too strong that it cant be removed during the routine with minimal pain.

Any ideas or suggestion would be a great help

Cheers
Chris

Have you considered a "hooked coin"? No knowing the routine I am not sure if it would be appropriate.

Wax could maybe do it too.

You can get these sticky dots that they use to glue balloons together - it could work - or whatever sticky stuff is used for 'The Web'.
Dexter's putty? (Greg Wilson uses it in one of his routines - but I've never used it). Double sided tape maybe.

Beeswax. I use it and it works. It doesn't leave a mark and you can buy it at any drug store. Plus if it falls out of your pocket, you can say you just have chap lip :wink:
