Back Palming Coins

Postby Lord Freddie » Jul 15th, '07, 19:55



Can any of you knowledgable souls advise as to what BRITISH coins are best for back palming with?
I have tried 10p and 2p coins and can't seem to get a good enough grip, or it looks like I have a deformed hand. If I read any more about dollars, quarters etc I'll spit on the grave of Columbus!

Freddie me old mucker.

How about a £2 coin? Also you could Back f****** c*** a coin rather then p**m it.

I am master of misdirection, look over there.

We are not falling out young Welshy, we are debating, I think farlsy is an idiot he thinks I am one. We are just talking about who is the bigger idiot.

Thanks Markdini,
Great idea, seems these could be the only ones that work with this move - and my hands!

Old style 10p used to be great. You need a coin with a milled edge preferably. 2p coins are about the right size, but are smoooooth on the edge.

A workaround, which works with any coin, is to learn the Goshman pinch ;)

Thank you kind sir.
I've been trying with 2p's but my alien-like fingers can't seem to grip when I straighten my hand.

I can only do this with a dollar size coin. It's a physical impossibility with a £2 for me. My little finger isn't long enough, and my fingers are too fat at the ends or something.
Looking at the pictures in Bobo, my hand looks nothing like that.

I find using a half crown is easier its a bit bigger then a half dollar thicker with more weight making it easier to get from front finger hold to back Palm
