Z przedprologu książki:

\n
• Wyobraź sobie zdolność do rzucania monetą w powietrze i przewidywania, czy spadnie na orzeł lub resztkę. Czy masz super ludzkie zdolności? Mój cel w pisaniu tej traktatu jest wyjaśnienie i nauczanie Ci, jak to zrobić. Wywołuję metodę rzucania monetą, która pozwala Ci kontrolować jej wynik, jako Rzuć Kontrolowany.
\n
• Rzut lub rzucanie monetą do podejmowania decyzji istniało już ponad tysiąc lat temu. Starożytni Rzymianie graли w grę nazywaną "navia aut caput" (statka lub głowa). Najprawdopodobniej otrzymały to nazwę, ponieważ monetki starożytnych Rzymian zwykle miały na jednej stronie statkę, a na drugiej profil cesarza. Nie jestem zaskoczony, gdyby ktoś ubrany w togę i gracz używał metody Rzucającego Kontrolowanego do kłamstwa podczas tej gry.
\n
• Pochodzenie tego sposobu kontroli wyniku rzutu monetą jest ukryte w mroku czasów. Tylko mało matematyków, graczów i magicznych artystów mają jakieś wiedzę na temat tej techniki. Wciąż mniej z nich potrafią to zrobić dobrze. Nie jest to bardzo trudne do wykonania, raz skojarzysz sobie z kluczem. Jak wszystko cenne, wymaga ono praktyki.

Wykonane poprawnie, Rzuć Kontrolowany jest niezwykle zaskakujący! Podczas gdy możliwości grze są oczywiste, możliwości sztuczne są niemal nieskończone! Naucz się jak wykonywać i doskonałować tę wspaniałą sztuczkę dzisiaj!

Oryginalny opis angielski

From the book's introduction:
 
"Imagine being able to toss a spinning coin high up in the air and possess the uncanny ability to predict whether it will land on heads or tails side up. Are you able to foretell the future? What if you can toss a coin in the air and make it land face up on any side the spectator wishes. You may even let the spectator catch the coin themselves. Do you have super human powers? My aim in authoring this treatise is to explain and teach you how to do just that. I call this method of tossing a coin so that you have complete control over its outcome, the Controlled Coin Toss.
 
The act of tossing or also known as flipping a coin to make a determination has been around for well over a thousand years. The ancient Romans played a game called "navia aut caput" (ship or head). Most likely it was named this because ancient Roman coins usually had a ship on one side and the profile of the head of an Emperor on the other side. I would not be surprised if there was a Toga-clad gambler back then who was employing the Controlled Coin Toss to cheat at this game. The origins of this method to control the outcome of a coin toss are shrouded in obscurity by the mists of time. Only a small number of Mathematicians, Gamblers, and Magicians have any knowledge of this technique. Fewer yet can actually do it well. It is really not very difficult to do once you develop the knack. Like anything worthwhile mastering it will require some practice."
