Coin Tricks

• Artist: Metaphoric Rain
• Description: After learning how to walk a coin across my knuckles, I found that doing that particular coin trick is a mindless task that calms me down and clears my mind. Predictably, I had to write a poem about it.
  
  The first trick is the coin walk, the second is rigging a toss, and the third is the classic vanish then pull a coin from the ear trick.

Glimmer, spin across the field.
One last turn then disappear.
Slide around, out of sight
Then come back to the light.
Wrong face up, wrong face down,
One last turn then flip around.
Walk once more across the digits,
It is a neat trick, isn't it?

After the deftest flick of the wrist,
Through the air, twirl and twist.
Tail to the forearm, head to the air,
Guess again, take the dare.
Wrong once more without a doubt,
Through the air, spin about.
Yeah, that's right, the toss was rigged.
It is a neat trick, isn't it?

Between thumb and finger, switch to the palm.
Twist of the hand, now be gone.
Quickly now, stay unseen,
Tip the wrist and slide down the sleeve.
Take in the joy, prepare for the cheer.
Twist of the hand, bring treasure from an ear.
Amazement comes now that it's finished.
It is a neat trick, isn't it?
