Called contact coins because they lend themselves to a style of manipulation that resembles contact juggling. On the surface, the Deadeyes look like just a refined worry stone made from metal, and they certainly serve well for that.
Precisely crafted and beautifully finished, with an ergonomic indent on either side that is perfect for thumbs of any size. As you’d expect from AO2, there’s more to it than that. The stepped edition Deadeyes take the original concept designed for contact manipulation, and brings it to the next level by offering a more angular and grippier design, for supreme control. This edition is slightly sized down and slimmed down from the original, reducing the overall weight noticeably. While the new shape is not as ergonomic as a straight up worry coin, the angles provide excellent control for sleight of hand and more conventional coin tricks.
