Bent Quarter
This trick/routine is a classic because of its versatility…as with almost any coin tricks. Normal coins and trick coins can be carried with you wherever you go and a trick can be done on a moment’s notice.
When I start a trick like this I will always ask to borrow a quarter first, best if from the girl with whom you’re speaking. If she doesn’t have a normal quarter, then it’s ok to fumble around and act like you found one in your own pocket.
I love to ask questions like “do you work out? how much do you bench? You look kind of flabby, let see what you got.” There are a lot of witty and cocky/funny comments you can make here about testing her strength. That way when you reveal the bent quarter its all about her. Then you can tell her, “that’s it, you’re my new personal trainer. When are we hittin the gym coach?”
I’ve seen this done another way with the scenario of holding hands and feeling the electricity between the two of you. This can go either way. If you have the frame and a coherent story, go for it, but I’m not going to teach that method because it can easily wind up looking cheesey.
Your Assignment:
Go grab two pairs of pliers, a dish towel/t-shirt and a quarter. Give it a nice “little” bend in it like I described. Then PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE.
Work the angles and the “false transfer.” Do it in the mirror several times. The reason you need to practice this, like any trick, is so that your body automatically remembers what to do while your brain concentrates on keeping an attractive frame and making sure that you don’t look nervous.
Then, go try this on a friend of yours. A buddy, your parents, your sister. It doesn’t matter. Don’t do the trick the first time on a girl you’re interested in. Make any mistakes with people you’re NOT trying to get naked and then calibrate so that you when you’re in the field and it counts, that you can pull it off flawlessly.
