They asked Jane during a press interview for his 2011 movie Margin Call about the show and he said he lobbied for it to end after killing ‘Red John’ and the producers and specifically Bruno Heller insisted they continue their contract and show Jane moving on. Although he said it was clearly the highlight of his career he did acknowledge the quality of storylines took a dip and wished they ended on a high note.

There is a way of throwing the coin to get heads (or whichever side is faced up at the beginning of the throw), I manage to do 10 consecutive, but need a lot more practice to reach 20
On a coin that still has sharp etching you can tell if you finger is touching heads or not. Determine that fast enough you can flip the coin to the correct side while slapping. One side always has the smooth head and the tails side is a rough pattern.
It is actually possible to learn to toss a coin the way it will always land one side. It is somewhat similar to throwing a knife. It may hit with handle or sharp edge but if you learn how much spin it needs for a certain distance you will always throw it the way it hits with a blade.
@@asimhussain8716 He's absolutely right. Playing any musical instrument at a professional level without making any mistake is way harder than that. There are dozens of other examples of things that takes years to master, but tossing a coin the right way isn't one of them. Try it by yourself if you don't trust me. Train for 1 or 2 hours everyday and you'll start to develop a "feeling" after a few days. You will probably be able to do it right 95% of the time in a few weeks. The rest is just patience and perseverance. Actually, if we could gather every exceptional skills each human individuals have developed through intense training into one person, this person would almost look like a god. The biggest limit to human potential is the time it takes to master each one of those skills.
@@Lesminster When I was a kid, I noticed that if I put the dice in my hand in a specific way beforehand, I kinda could control the result to get a 6 more often. But my older siblings noticed it and told me that it was cheating. I try it from times to times and I still remember the feeling of that trick after all these years... I can even feel it now that I'm talking about it, even without an actual dice in my hands. It's still recorded somewhere in my brain.
nice ^^ i only heard it can be trained and i thought sure, why not, sounds reasonable. If everything is always the same condition you should get the same result ^^
On that last toss, when he tosses it, spins it around in his hand and flips it again, I was wondering if he could just feel the impressions on the coin to know which way it would land.
@@eriks1765 I had a trick to this when I would do it with people, who never noticed it. Toss the coin, quickly glance at it. If it's tails in your palm, flip it. If it's heads in your palm, hold out your hand with the coin. Most people don't notice.
When I was a teenager I practiced flipping a real quarter so as to always get tails. Yes, twenty times in a row was par for the course. Yes, I could do it with your quarter.
Jane is such a nice guy & real friend to Cho, he knows that Cho not looked good after he answered the phone & his house got broke-in, then volunteer offer to helped him, so nice
He flips the coin and catches it in his right hand... Then puts it on the left hand, thereby reversing the coin as it is revealed to people... After every flip... Jane looks at what side he's got... On his right hand... If its a tail, he simply puts it on the back of his left hand to show, making it a head in the process... If he gets a head... While he is putting the coin on his left hand he turns the coin around in his palms, so that when it lands on the left hand it becomes a head... There is not trick to tossing the coin... He didn't even need the other fake coin...
One much easier way is to use a new coin, one without fading and still has the sharp details, then when you catch it you can slightly feel which side is which in your palm or with a finger. Then just turn it over while you are revealing. It's much easier to do if you have large hands. Hides the turn over much more.
I'd prefer this scene, if Rigsby had managed to discover the tactile trick (explained in other comments) and practiced it until he can do it somewhat consistently (3-5 heads in a row) - only for Jane to reveal he swapped the coins, since the other method requires practice and is unreliable.
In real life, scientists actually found that a coin flip has a 55/45 chance of landing on one side depending on what side is on top when you initiate the flip.
It's possible to do it with tactile techniques. The head of a quarter feels more smooth than the tail side. So when you toss the coin, you catch it in your hand and quickly feel and inspect the side of the coin facing your fingers, ignoring the side against your palms. If it feels smooth, you flip it in your fist before you place the coin on the back of your hand. The result will be heads up. If it feels rough, you do nothing. You'll be able to control every single flip, with a normal coin using tactile techniques
If you start from the same side every time, flip it the same height and speed and catch it at the same interval, you'll get the same result every time.
its pretty easy to control which side lands facing upwards. if you flip the coin with tails facing upward and than insure it doesn't fly too high it will always land with heads facing your hand, so when you drop the coin onto the other hand it will always have heads facing up
This is the law of persimony, not occam's razor. The two are frequently confused. Occam's razor actually says that between two plausible explanations which predict the same result, that the one which has fewer assumptions is the better one to pick. If you have two explanations for how something happened, for example, and one requires many more assumptions than the other, then the explanation which has fewer assumptions is better. Assumptions do not necessarily equate with complexity.
Then the coin toss here was indeed an occam's razor law. The simplest answer was that the coin tossed had both the sides as heads. It was also the first hypothesis that Rigsby came up with only to shutdown by jane by throwing a decoy coin (normal one) to him. Rigsby was indeed right as it was the simple solution with least possible assumptions hence occam's razor law.
@@nitinshetty7204 no. Your solution requires two assumptions: 1) he has a double-sided coin and 2) he knows a coin trick (so he can switch that coin with a normal coin on demand). The alternative theory has only one assumption: 1) he knows a coin trick (so he can make a normal coin land heads on demand). What you are illustrating here is that occam's razor is not very useful because people don't have a good idea of what simplicity is, or to get closer to the original formulation people can't make a good accounting of the number of assumptions that go into their underlying logic, so they tend to conflate "what sounds right" with "simplest" - commonly if a solution sounds right they don't even notice the assumptions they are making, because those assumptions are taken for granted.
I several times did it using an ordinary coin. Up to 10 times. I could feel the texture before I slap it on the wrist. Since I can feel it, I can just slap it or surreptitiously flip it as I slap it on the wrist so it will always land facing up. That was more than a decade ago.
Actually you need 3 coins to win every time. 1 normal coin 1 coin with 2 heads 1 coin with 2 tails. What if the other person calls heads and your coin only has heads on both sides? You had better have a two sided tails coin too.
"Double or nothing: make the coin land tails twenty times straight" - that'll clarify the situation easy enough. After all, who's crazy-prepared enough to carry both a double-headed and a double-tailed coin around just in case?
I used to. I bought from a novelty company--one of each. I never actually used the tails coin, and not being Patrick Jane, I only used the double headed coin once or twice. Everybody has heard of them, but very few people have seen one.
@@QixTheDS, no, it says nothing about simplicity being an indicator that some theory is more likely to be true. It says that between competing theories *with equal explanatory power,* the one that requires the fewest assumptions should be preferred.

My uncle can do this with a real quarter-he doesn’t flip it, he makes it spin
I knew he switched the coins I just had to watch to the end❤😮
damn, I thought he noticed the side when it landed, then switched (placed on the hand) or didn't switch and showed the side

If you start from the same side every time, flip it the same height and speed and catch it at the same interval, you'll get the same result every time.

he had two coins and planted the second one showing heads when he slapped his hand on the flipped coin. Then switch.
