Hello Ellis.. Spent a while trying this, sadly only got a sore palm But did manage to eventually improve a little. But just a little!! Now retired Good luck with this though. Garry.

There is at least one DVD on this very difficult--finger straining sleight.
Diamond Jim Tyler has it in his lecture notes--with photos.
Cannot remember if it is on his 'A Pocketful Of Miracles' DVD--When I have time --I'll look

I know several magicians who have strained muscles, ligaments and even fetched blood with this--to ME--horrendous sleight.

For what it does-- and for how long you need to suffer with it-- I believe you would be better off learning some of the easier and more useful sleights.

i think its worth the pain......i can now get it about 4/5 inches high and, now and again properly about 7

Ellis

It shouldn't be that painful to learn. Perhaps just a callus, if you are bleeding and straining muscles you are doing it wrong. Once the muscle is developed it really almost comes naturally.

i sure hope so.......
