Invisible Palm

Postby The_Elf » Oct 1st, '06, 22:39



Hi all, i've been away for a while :)

I just made a vid with the invisible palm routine...
Motions are a little too fast, i usually try to be as smooth as possible, but since i did a 4 aces productions at the beginning, in a smooth mode this video would have been too long, so...

I hope you like it.
Every comment and constuctive criticism is really really welcome.

Enjoy :D

I like the video but I like to say 2 points since you said you'd welcome criticism.
One is after palming the card in the left hand, left thumb is going flat too fast. If it stays up for a sec. so you can show the hand empty, your palming will look more real. And the second one is the revealing the card; instead of full palm, just use the pinkie side of your hand so the card will look magically appear..
These are my thoughts only, and they are good for my presentation. So try these a couple times, maybe you'll like this way.. :)

Thank you, man.
Your first point made me see that I have something to work on. I close my thumb only when i do not have the card, when I have it, thumb is always opened. :lol:
About your second point, thanks again.
I find bad those who place their hand on the card, then move it to the side... it makes this trick quite obvoius killing the illution, so I tried many many ways to "place" the card and i finally choose the upper part of my palm, near the pinkie, but for unknown reason I never tried using the side of my pinkie.
I'm already trying it while I'm writing lol :lol: I think it should be better.
I'll work on them.

Thank you again ;)
