Who's the daddy
A great observation, and very ture.mark lewis wrote:I have been doing this for decades. It is indeed quite difficult to learn. I guess you just have to keep at it. I learned it from one of the Jean Hugard books from the Card Manipulations series.
It is a very useful move but I have to confess that I have used the regular two handed palm much more often. I have noticed that magicians usually screw this sleight up AFTER they do it. They feel terribly guilty with the deadly secret in their hand and they want to get rid of the card as soon as possible and this guilty look gives the game away. I don't have this problem because I never feel guilty about anything.

I am always amused that the hot shot card technicians have trouble with certain basic sleights such as the top change, the classic force and the palm. It is because they take a certain nerve. The technicians can do wonderful things with their fingers but their mental attitude gets in the way when they have to do the aforementioned three basic moves.

Its extremely tricky to describe the tip he gives in words so Id advise getting a copy of the tape, but it literally changed my technique overnight and I had a solid top palm down within about a week after watching it, this after months of trying.
