Flick Transfer
In this move a card is held in each hand. There is a coin concealed behind the card in
the right hand. The coin can be transferred from one hand to the other using
two methods. The first occurs when the right hand places its card against the left hand
allowing the left hand to hold both cards. This is done, apparently, to enable the right
hand to do something such as turn a coin over on the table. Then the right hand
removes the card from the left leaving the coin behind. In the other method, one card is
quickly rubbed against the other causing one to flick off the other to
make a click. In the process, the coin is slid from one card to the other. Both are
effective ways to move the hidden coin from one hand to the other.
 
In Matrix this move is used to load the coin into the left hand card that will be put back
on the coin at the upper left position. People using this sort of move apparently want
the cards to remain at their initial position during the routine. Thus, they go through
some effort to secretly move a coin from one card to another for two of the
transpositions.
