How many can you do?

Postby Beardy » Aug 31st, '07, 20:37



I woke up yesterday, and decided to beat the world record of coin rolling in a minute (45 - held by De'vo) and today managed 47, so am quite chuffed. Hoping to reach 50 soon.

I'm just wondering what the average number is for you guys out there?

Love

The Record is about to be offically challenged. I'm sure the person in question will annouce it soon enough ;)

I am a magician not a racehorse. I can do a mere 30. I have noticed however that it goes faster if you don't think about it.

Took the words out of my mouth, Abraxus.

I'm sure there's a bit in ECT about Charlie Miller doing 80 per minute.

I shall check, however the gauntlet has definitely been thrown.

Coin rolls? for me? one.

I don't think the holder is Devo anymore.
On average I can do about 30, but have pushed myself to nearly 40.

Heres a guy doing 67 in one minute.

I can very comfortably do two knuckles worth in an hour...but only when the room is quiet and the television is off....find it bloody tough myself...will stick to card flourishes.

August Meyer now holds the current world record at 51. He broke it in May this year. His personal best, he says, is 57. There is however a video going around the net of a chap doing 67, but whether it's real is up for debate.

I'm currently pratising to break the record too.

I'm probably able to do 2 or 3 with dropping the coin about 40 times, hey that could be a record, most dropped coins while trying to do a coin role...

will stick to card flourishes.

Thats what I'm talking about.
