I lost the use of my left hand

Postby tetomapa » Oct 19th, '11, 18:52



Hello everyone,

An unfortunate accident rendered my left hand pretty much useless (it could be permanent)....so, I devised this one-handed spellbound routine (link given below):

Please, let me know what you think

Also, I'd be grateful if you could recommend some tricks that can be done with one hand

Thank you, I'm so happy to hear such a positive remark...although I know it's nowhere near any trick done with two hands :))

That was really excellent, great stuff. I don't even particularly like coin magic, but that was lovely to watch.

I think it's just amazing, especially the change where it is flipped in the air and the vanish at the end.

Thank you. I learned the mid-air change from watching Anitya by Ponta the Smith (I may not do it exactly the way Ponta does, though). Actually, I had had the idea before I watched Anitya but dismissed it coz I thought it might look too obvious. However, watching Ponta perform it totally changed my mind. For the vanish, I kinda incorporated Ponta's 'Vanish' and Shoot Ogawa's 'Slide' .......and a little of my own idea too :) I'm so glad you like it.
