Ever palm coins all day long? I do! It's a great way to develop a good positioning.


We know this already. The way you write it seems patronizing.

sounds like a great way to develop bad positioning to me, unless you're constantly looking at yourself in a mirror all day and adjusting the coin as needed. otherwise it's just a good way to build up your hand muscles and end up with an iffy looking palm.

hehe palm all day long.

As L-dawg says Position, adjust and get right,

I am master of misdirection, look over there.

We are not falling out young Welshy, we are debating, I think farlsy is an idiot he thinks I am one. We are just talking about who is the bigger idiot.

I'm not saying this to put you down, but you really need to practice. Your transitions from palm to palm is sloppy and your load needs a TON of work. A piece like CUTN [CoinUpTheNose] ( :lol: ) requires ACTING. The way you did it was boring and unconvincing. Your sneeze was pathetic.

Good luck on improving it.

It is improved. Older video, but I innovated an empty-handed version on it. I will try to get a expert-style video up soon! I don't know WHY these videos keep on showing the worst of me.
