Friction Steal: Roth's Handling and an Alternative

Yago Turia presents two variations of the friction steal, using three coins as an example. The first is explicitly attributed to David Roth; the second modifies the working position and the way the group is transferred.

The explanation allows you to compare what position each handling leaves you in to continue. One variation makes it easier to get into the classic palm; the other keeps the coin in finger palm. The orientation of the hand at the finish is also studied, because a correct retention can be exposed if an inappropriate angle is maintained.

Yago shows the paths and recommends getting familiar with both to choose depending on the routine you want to perform. Practicing with both hands is part of the learning process, rather than limiting the movement to your dominant hand.

You need several coins; three are used in the demonstration and various sizes are acceptable. It's helpful to know the mentioned palm positions. The reference to Roth's book provides context for the attribution, without making its purchase a requirement to follow this explanation.
