Great Brian, now I have something to do while I'm at work waiting for customers instead of playing video games or watching TH-cam videos. That's one small step towards an important skill in world domination.
This was awesome (more than usual). Please teach more stuff like this (like magic basics-tricky shuffles, palming etc) more often. Most things you teach need an audience, and this is something we can just practice when no one is around (but will help if you ever have an audience). Thanks for always being great!
Amazing! In a matter of minutes, I have become an expert at swear enunciation and carpet quarter-spotting. For real though, a very good episode, I will definitely be working more on this one. Brian explains things very well.
I had been searching for a tutorial for this and none of them helped. This is probably the best tutorial for a coin roll out there! Thanks a lot Brian!
I love that Brian keeps reminding them, and us by proxy, that this is a skill that takes time to get down and smooth out. He does it a few times, and that's a great thing to keep in mind when you have a pro nearby
Thanks! Watching back through it I definitely see some resemblance to our Rogue's Flask unveiling video with the contour highlights. That's also the same font we use for the Rogue's products!
It comes full circle (no pun intended). This is the first move I ever learned back when I was 14 or 15. It's now a nervous habit and I can only do it well with my left hand, even though I am right handed. Anyway Scam School is great because it doesn't just teach you the trick, you learn enough theory so you start thinking like a magician/grifter.
Brian, thanks for making my law sociology classes interesting!!!! loved this skill, the other thing I really wanted to learn was to spin pens, pencils, basically anythibg that shapes like a stick on my fingers!
Damn Bri (and I feel we know each other well enough that I can call you "Bri" XD), you are one of the most positive, supportive people I have ever seen!
Also, and I don't mean to step on toes here Brian, some might find it easier to start with a half-dollar to learn the steps first, then do it with a quarter. That is how I learned. Like training wheels it is easier and learning the steps first without dropping it a million times is helpful. Or it was to me. A few days with the half dollar I was ready for the quarter. And it was just when I was doing nothing else, like on the bus or in line somewhere. In a couple weeks I could do it with a penny if I had to.
I have huge hands so I had to learn it with a little bigger coin... I use a 50 cent piece. Had to really control that so it wouldn't lay on top of the next finger over
This is something that I've been working on for years, and I still don't feel like I'm all that good at it. :-p Although, I will say you have some excellent tips on pulling this off smoothly that I was not aware of, so thanks.
Dear scam school keep up the good work one issue though- not being from America makes some of the tricks difficult this one is one case but some of the other money tricks as well, just a heads up. any cross currency recommendations would be greatly appreciated
Sooo hard, been trying for a year. Arrrrrgh, why is it so hard to perfect this? arrrrrgh. The watch comment though. I woke my boyfriend up because I was laughing so much. :)
Managed to do that kind of thing with a lighter, like flicking it round but it's so different from a coin. Ever so slowly getting the hang of it tho, so thanks
A quarter is about the size of your first knuckle to fingertip. And the size should be one that fits your hand good. In the end the size doesn't matter that much I can do it with pretty large coins as well
I can get it across my knuckle, but when it comes to the end, it either flips off or drops. I've watched this video a million times, and I still can't get it! Do you have any other tips on the last bit?
You wanna know how rockin' I was? Yo, I Was rockin' this so hard, it was almost like a goddmaned rockin ship. The first time I dropped it, it fell UP. The International Space Station is now richer because of me; your free beer helped me fund NASA. That's how rockin' I was.
Damn it Brian I thought my connection was dying on me with the ad. Since the episode was a skill rather than a trick I guess you had to fit the trick in somewhere...
Mr. Brushwood, I visit Austin on a regular basis. Is there any way to be on Scam School? Is it just your friends that you bring on? Do I just have to run into you at the Moon Tower/The Handlebar?
You’re technically not supposed to stick your fingers out like that... to try to stop that habit try using your other hand as a barrier to keep your fingers from sticking out so much, stopping this reflex early will help you in the long run since it’s more of an annoyance than actually helpful
This is weird but it took me about 30 days to master this with my right hand. Then it took 2 days to master it with my left. It's like my brain just had to transfer the skill over to my other hand.
you should teach people to destroy their liver- oh wait, you already have. but on a serious note, could you teach us how to make it look like you broke you're finger. some friends can do it and I can't find it on the internet. I challenge you!
+Benjamin NewDuval Your use of the word "firsted" reminded me of a story I read on 4chan yesterday about a child who was traumatized for life by a "merdget."

WalcomS7 nice!
I've seen so many tutorials on how to do a coin roll, but none of them worked. This is the best tutorial out there Brian! Thanks a lot!

Most things you teach need an audience, and this is something we can just practice when no one is around (but will help if you ever have an audience). Thanks for always being great!
James Dreger thanks man. Glad you dig it!
third?
nah first xD
It's Brian not allowed to mention his show??
Wait Brian how long does it take until you can do it flawlessly?
+Card Tutorials Begginer to Expert i have been doing it all day and i am half way there
+Simon opdebeeck hi

I literally just was thinking about learning how to do this like an hour ago and then bam there's this video lol
Steve Sharp MMMMMMAGIC!
Dude, that was a legit commercial break. Also, with the way the logo was being set up, I half expected it to be teasing another Rogue item. XD
Thanks!
Watching back through it I definitely see some resemblance to our Rogue's Flask unveiling video with the contour highlights. That's also the same font we use for the Rogue's products!

By the end of the video i had it 100x better than when I was before it. Thanks Brian!
BoboTheHobo 09 sweet! Glad it's working for you!
,I've been watching this show/ channel for a couple years and love it keep it up :)
Thanks, man!
That ending actually scared me.......LOL I was like DA FUQ
Same
I know right. I was like "Nooooooo. Am I getting hacked" but then I was like oh nice.
Lol same I was like wtf is this government or some shit
Oh i miss these kind of intros
Brings me back to when i was just starting out on magic
Brian, how dare you make me learn an actual skill? Just kidding, keep up the good work,
Tristan Dammit, Tristan! You knew this day would come! Now get out there and LEARN!
Brian, thanks for making my law sociology classes interesting!!!! loved this skill, the other thing I really wanted to learn was to spin pens, pencils, basically anythibg that shapes like a stick on my fingers!
I was so good at it in about 20-30 mins! Thank You so much!
Brian I love your show hacking the system. Whenever it is on I always watch it because it is so interesting
Logan Wilson Thanks, man!
Love Scam School and the show Hacking the System
Thanks!
I love Scam School! Keep it up!
Hey Brian, favorite subber here, I'm going to actually try to learn this one. I'll keep you informed.
Vic Vinegar Thanks, man!
Damn Bri (and I feel we know each other well enough that I can call you "Bri" XD), you are one of the most positive, supportive people I have ever seen!
Vance Bocas Thanks, Vance!
First Scam School video I've watched on repeat ... I *will* get this ... (*drops quarter*) ...Dammit!
Hi Brian! Where is the disappearing coin trick mentioned in this video? I can't find it but it looks awesome!! Thanks Bri.
Yes. Just yes. This is probably the best channel I have ever watched. Like if u agree
Brian your awesome keep up the good work you one of my favorite youtubers
Rad.
For me it took half a year of math lessons to master this. Failed math thou... Sooo worth it
Also, and I don't mean to step on toes here Brian, some might find it easier to start with a half-dollar to learn the steps first, then do it with a quarter. That is how I learned. Like training wheels it is easier and learning the steps first without dropping it a million times is helpful. Or it was to me. A few days with the half dollar I was ready for the quarter. And it was just when I was doing nothing else, like on the bus or in line somewhere. In a couple weeks I could do it with a penny if I had to.
Good idea! Where can one find a half dollar now a days?
Alex Mayer silver dollars work too. You can find them at the bank, or online.
I agree, and it looks nicer.
Alex Mayer Any bank. You can ask them for rolls if you want.
the coin, such smooth transition, its hypnotizing...
tim schellingerhout thanks!
You are my favorite youtuber you make my life fun. Thanks for great content
Lee Harrison Thanks, Lee!
I watched scam school and then I got to Brian Brushwood's appearance on Fool Us and the rest was history.
+Mike M awesome, man! Glad you dig 'em.
Gotta watch Hacking the System, it's really good.
I have huge hands so I had to learn it with a little bigger coin... I use a 50 cent piece. Had to really control that so it wouldn't lay on top of the next finger over
Quick suggestion, would be awesome to see a scam school q&a :)
This is something that I've been working on for years, and I still don't feel like I'm all that good at it. :-p Although, I will say you have some excellent tips on pulling this off smoothly that I was not aware of, so thanks.
That fan above Charles' head reminded me of Final Destination 3. Stay away from convertibles and drive-throughs, Charles!
Dear scam school
keep up the good work
one issue though- not being from America makes some of the tricks difficult this one is one case but some of the other money tricks as well, just a heads up. any cross currency recommendations would be greatly appreciated
Izaac Wallis You can roll any denomination of coin... just pick which feels best on your fingers.
Hey you got a link for the original coin vanish mentioned at the beginning :)
Finally I Learn How to Do This!!
Great video just like all your other ones. Keep doin what your doin
Matthew Radovanovich Thanks, man!
I'm going to try and learn this. Wish me luck!
Sooo hard, been trying for a year. Arrrrrgh, why is it so hard to perfect this? arrrrrgh.
The watch comment though. I woke my boyfriend up because I was laughing so much. :)
What am I doing right now? Trying to roll a quarter across my hand. What should I be doing? Studying for finals.
finals are not going to get you a free beer at the bar, but this trick might
i was just trying to this a few days ago but gave up and guess what scam school freaking read my mind.
Yeah! An F1 fan!
Last year my dad and I were in Austin for the US Grand Prix and I was wondering if I'd see Brian scamming anyone around town.
Brian I've only had 3 successful tries while the rest fell off near the end and I follow every step and really 20 years compared to Charles
Managed to do that kind of thing with a lighter, like flicking it round but it's so different from a coin. Ever so slowly getting the hang of it tho, so thanks
I've found with this trick that starting really slow can help build rhythm the pinky to thumb transition is really hard though
The guy with glasses is a formula 1 fan ,so cool!!
Thank you so much for this! Awesome!
What would be the more equivalent coin to a quarter in the Euro currency? You have no idea, right? :P Does the size and thickness of the coin matter?
A quarter is about the size of your first knuckle to fingertip. And the size should be one that fits your hand good. In the end the size doesn't matter that much I can do it with pretty large coins as well
Size matters! If people say it doesn't, it's because their coins are too small!
A quater is about the size of 50ct..but i would start training with 2eu and then reduce size. I go down to 10ct..smaller is harder
I don't know if it's the closest to a quarter, but 50ct and 2€ work nice, since they are probably wider than your fingers.
I can get it across my knuckle, but when it comes to the end, it either flips off or drops. I've watched this video a million times, and I still can't get it! Do you have any other tips on the last bit?
You wanna know how rockin' I was? Yo, I Was rockin' this so hard, it was almost like a goddmaned rockin ship. The first time I dropped it, it fell UP. The International Space Station is now richer because of me; your free beer helped me fund NASA. That's how rockin' I was.
The request you thought would never come. Can we please have the crazy hair back?
WaariGaming And then it hits me as I think: "I'll never be able to win, will I?"
Scam School The moment you decide to do it for somebody else, you've already lost. That said I refuse to let you grow a mullet.
Brandt Hughes Scam School You know what to do.
Is there something to do with the weight and size of the coin? Is it easier to do with a big fat coin?
Damn it Brian I thought my connection was dying on me with the ad. Since the episode was a skill rather than a trick I guess you had to fit the trick in somewhere...
Grace Keller :-D
"Like you're modeling a watch... and the watch is worth a quarter."
Two questions...
Does anybody do better when they aren't thinking about it?
And does anyone do better with their non-dominant hand?
Oh that was cool how you used the loading sign it kinda caught me off guard.
western child that's more Brandt Hughes wizardry!
Scam School still cool. I wish you happy scamming and beer drinking!
Is this trick easer to do with bigger coins like silver dolors or smaller coins like quarters .
Man, I was hoping for some tips on rolling a half-dollar coin. Quarters are ez. Just make sure that when on the pinky you dont make it look obvious.
would it be easier with a half dollar, or a morgan dollar?
guys i just another tip if ur hand are sticky and sweaty keep em like that would help a lo
I love the show hacking the system keep it up!
awesome Williams shirt
Brian you are awesome!!
Like if you agree.
I guess.... liked?
Scam School I would hope you know you are awesome! LOL
Me?
Brian Geary I meant shwood but maybe you are to... I don't know.
Wow!! This comment got more likes in a day than subscribers i got in a month and a half! ?????
brian you are amazing boy
how much time (years, decades) will it take to master it?
Williams F1 T-shirt - Respect!
the question is... can you reverse at will?
But How COULD THIS HAVE BEEN DONE?
is this actually harder with Euro's?
tried to do this trick, but it seems quite a lot harder due to its size.
wow, not to hard....I see practice makes perfect.......thanks Brother
Best English coin to use? I was thinking a 2p coin
Mr. Brushwood, I visit Austin on a regular basis. Is there any way to be on Scam School? Is it just your friends that you bring on? Do I just have to run into you at the Moon Tower/The Handlebar?
Alec Chvirko Of course you can be on! I usually announce the shoots 1-2 days beforehand on my twitter feed (@shwood)
Thanks Scam School . You are awesome. Please keep up the good work.
i mostly got it down but sometimes i roll the quarter off my pinky and down it goes or i just cant grab it and it slips between my pinky and ring
You’re technically not supposed to stick your fingers out like that... to try to stop that habit try using your other hand as a barrier to keep your fingers from sticking out so much, stopping this reflex early will help you in the long run since it’s more of an annoyance than actually helpful
I just began getting into this like 2 weeks before now woah haha
Whats cool about this is you can practice while watching :P
Banco do Brasil & Petrobras? Is he Brazilian/working here?
Lol, Napoleon Dynamite. That movie is awesome.
Is mike Chang advertising his magic red drink for six pack abs through you guys now?
imlee888 lol... tell me you didn't miss our puns! "get RIPPED"? free "SIX-PACK"? I thought they were obviously beer references!
Can two coins (in one hand) be done at once? That appears possible if I am thinking right. How about three?
pmyou2 2 definitely is. I don't know if I've seen three.
I've learned it helps to use a less smooth quarter
it slides less
Like your tv show
i thought my laptop died at the end
seth Jim me too, when I saw the preview.
How long did it take you to master this??
junaid sheikh these guys got the basics in about 20 minutes.
This is weird but it took me about 30 days to master this with my right hand. Then it took 2 days to master it with my left. It's like my brain just had to transfer the skill over to my other hand.
deanmat crazy!
What's the background music?
you should teach people to destroy their liver- oh wait, you already have. but on a serious note, could you teach us how to make it look like you broke you're finger. some friends can do it and I can't find it on the internet. I challenge you!
This hair looks better on you Brian !
Vinnie Lim Thanks, Vinnie!
What's a good size UK currency coin to use this for? Not sure how large a quarter is.
Benjamin Barnes Just go with whatever feels right to your fingers.
Bruh I love you
i do it 3-4 times watching Scam School
7:18
That's cool and all but is there no c in "shwood"?
Right. His name is Brian Brushwood, not Brian Bruschwood. Shwood is spelled as in the end of Brushwood. It's apparently a nickname.
Episodes using a thumb tip would be great ♠♥♣♦
fyigu fgyuh probably won't ever happen. I want Scam School to be all about stuff you can do without ever setting foot into a magic shop.
Bad news everybody who was first on the last video, you just got psyched! But also I guess good news if you get double-first.
+Benjamin NewDuval Your use of the word "firsted" reminded me of a story I read on 4chan yesterday about a child who was traumatized for life by a "merdget."
Been trying to do this with my ring, much harder than with a quarter
man that wreckless hobo thing sounded pretty reminiscent of peanutbutter wolf, from back in the gap. shit, now I gotta find my old music stash
Mind blown
Mystic Alliance so.... it worked?
I did this so much when I was going to bed I was doing the movement without a quarter
