How to Catch Quarters on Your Elbow

This is a trick which has delighted people long before quarters were invented. Quarters just happen to be the ideal size and weight for the trick. Read on to learn how to catch quarters on your elbow.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• Quarter
• Elbow

1. Place your hand palm up on your shoulder. Your forearm should be level with your jawline. You should be able to look down your forearm and see your elbow.
2. Balance the quarter on the hard bone of your elbow.
3. Quickly move your entire arm downward. This should be done fast enough so that the quarter remains in the air as your elbow moves. The movement of your arm should place your open hand directly over the quarter so that all you need to do is close your hand.
4. Display the quarter in your hand to the amazement of your audience.

Tips & Warnings

• This can be done with multiple quarters or any coins. I have also seen it done with candied fruit slices and in one unfortunate instance, an uncooked egg.
