The Flipper

tall tales,myths,and ghost stories.

"The Legend of The Coin Flipper" ???

Entertaining, but I need some proof to actually be impressed.
 
Back in the 70s I met a guy who said he was from New York, he would flip a coin in the air and have it land on a table and would offer 2 to one odds you couldn't guess it , if you didn't bite he would give 3 to 1, or 5 to 1.
he never lost.
It took me 20 years to figure out how he did it.
He also could throw a dime in a pay phone slot or pop machine from about 6 to 10 feet away.
I also found the answer to that one.
He also spotted people at tossing coins by standing twice as far from a wall or table and beat everyone at that.
This was just talent as far as I know.
The Flipper is what I have heard everyone call him for all this time.
Anyone else have any stories of his hustles they want to share?
This guy had a nervous tic where he went er er all the time and I have a pretty funny story I will tell at the end of the thread.



Good story, alot of people have certain little gimick games that seem no way to for you to loose at, I've seen Jack Hynes throw the quater in a pay phone slot before.
