FINAL INSTRUCTIONS
|
This palm is not generally known, which is to be wondered at,
for it is a very safe and easy one. The coin is simply held between the thumb and forefinger,
and then slid to the root of the latter, where it is held, as in Fig. 4.
The only objection
to this palm is that it keeps the thumb a close prisoner, to the manifest
loss of grace, but it is exceedingly useful for large and slippery coins, such as half-crowns,
pennies, and crowns.
Method 4.-Two, three, and four coins may be palmed by the first method, but the method shown
at Fig. 5 is the
safer. There is a rather unnatural disposition of the thumb about it, but the fingers
are left free play.
