This is a great trick i got alot of reaction out of this no one gets it beware allways wear a jacket and try to limit how many times you show it to somone.
ive had girls puke because you can buy a cracking noise for it wich can be placed around your shoulder wich can crack at a click of a button. one person has gotten it becaus ei mad ethe mistake of showing him like 7 times.. but he hasnt told any one.
It can be gimick free you dont need the cracking noise it gives a better reaction but still.

I rate it
9/10 only because it can be figured out if you dont use proper miss direction

Got this at Al's Magic in Washington DC in 1989! It is a great thing to be able to do impromptu. I have had a lot of fun with it over the years.

This trick is wuite old.. by Shinkoh originally.

If you want to take this effect to the next level I would suggest buying Disjointed by Joe Russell. In this effect you twist your wrist round 360 degrees ( or more ! ) then break your elbow at the joint and dislocate your shoulder. Then put the pieces together slowly!!

Where exactly in DC? 8Th graders get a trip to DC every year before graduation in June and since I am going, it would be nice to stop by there...If the chaperones allow it and we have time of course.


On the subject of Arm Twist, this is a classic, it is an increadible effect for those who do not know it, but I have found that most do so I have not performed it in a while...it might just be my presentation, but I am pretty sure it is not as I have never been told that it was, common sense clues people in on how this is done.

Dear David:

Al's is still in operation and is downtown. You can google it.

I continue to perform it and know one seems to know it.
