The Coin Space Routine

Introduce the folded packet. The two folded over sections should be at the front, the center section at the back with the point of the arrow-like design toward the floor.

Swing open the left and right folds of the packet. The right fingers are inserted under the first fold, the right thumb on the outside top of the square. The right thumb is resting on the pocket holding the two coins. The left thumb is inserted into the fold from the top and rests on the top pocket holding the single coin. The left fingers are at the back of the square.

Open out the packet into a square by lowering the right hand. The audience is now being shown the pocket-side of the square. The left thumb in front and left fingers in back are keeping the top coin from sliding down out of its pocket.

Release the right hand hold on the square. Turn the square around front to back to front to back by manipulating the left fingers and thumb. This display of both sides of the square is done casually. But when you stop, the pocket side is away from the audience, the left thumb at the back of the square, the left fingers at the front.

Producing The First Coin

Move the square to your left, away from your body. Reach over with your right hand, right fingers together. Insert the right fingers into the hole. The right palm is up. Once the bulk of the right hand is blocking the hole, release the pressure of the left thumb and fingers on the coin in the pocket and let it drop on to the right fingers.

When the right fingers are holding the coin, draw the right hand slowly out of the hole, turning the hand back and forth at the wrist as you display the coin at the finger tips.

Producing The Second Coin

It is now necessary to turn the square upside down. Take hold of the square at the bottom center with the right hand, thumb in front, fingers behind. Release hold of the square with the left hand. Swing the right hand to the right, turning the right wrist down so that the top of the square is now at the bottom.

With the square to the right of the body, with the right fingers and thumb revolve the square to back to front twice to show both sides. Stop when the pocket and the right thumb are toward you at the back of the square.
