i want to palm cards and make them appear again but im new at magic and unfortianatly im at the huge disadvantage of haveing small hands if anyone could give me some advice or tell me how to make the cards fly which it totally awsome i would appreciate it

Small hands are a disadvantage but I've yet to see anyone whose hands are too small to palm cards. It's just about technique.
The best way to get started in card magic is to buy yourself a copy of Hugard and Braue's The Royal Road to Card Magic or Giobbi's Card College. Both are available from Magic Box as wel las other places.
Royal Road is cheaper as CC is multi-volume and hardback, but much more comprehensive. I'd recommend getting the Royal Road and seeing how you get on with it before committing too much cash. It has a chapter on palming.
People here tend to be very helpful with any questions or problems you might have, but they like to see people post to the Introductions forum when they first register. Also check out Seige's sticky post in that forum.

The problem is that many new magicians try to start with effects that are far too advanced. Making cards fly takes a lot of practise. The Royal road to card magic recommended above is excellent. I used this book.

You want to start off just practsing the same sleight over and over again, for hours at a time. Always try to practise infront of a mirror. Once you have mastered that then move on to the next sleight. Some people make the mistake of trying to learn lots of different techniques at once.

Go for something simple like the glide to begin with, then move on to controling a card while dealing. Later try something like the Emlsey. Save palming until much much later.

hey thanks guys ill look into that book i currently cant spend any money but after i get the psp ill be able to control my money again

wow...you're getting a PSP.

I wish I were so lucky.

I have to make do with a PC. And a slow (1.2 GHz) one at that!

due to the fact im not aloud to by things on the net and there is no magic shops around in my area, is there any website where i can get this royal road book, becasue ive heard so much about it its sounds great i understand if u cant help but thanks if you can

Amazon sell it: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASI ... 06-5777444

However, saving up and going for something like the Card College Series may be a better bet as Royal Road's instructions are sometimes seen as difficult to understand.
