This is believable to me because I can force the results of a coin toss.

I'm not really sure how, but some tactile awareness of a coin's weight, air pressure, what side is currently facing up, etc. must all factor in.

For context, I am trained as a magician (so there's a degree of mastery of the properties of coins, and fine muscle control), but this is not a magic trick

I haven't tracked it in a clinical, laboratory setting.

But if we were in a bar and you bet me $100 bucks that I couldn't get heads 20 times in a row I'd feel comfortable taking the bet
