I also recall him shooting thrown dimes, and even asprin.

I don't think it is a "trick", implying sleight of hand/misdirection, but of course throwing it yourself makes it easier.

The obvious reason is if the shooter throws the target himself, he only has to deal with motion on one axis, elevation, and he knows pretty much the path it is going to take. Any lateral motion will be minimal.

If someone else throws the target (unless they are directly below or behind the shooter), there is lateral motion as well as vertical.

I still can't do it.
