Back Palm

[princeholiday]

Here's a clip of Channing Pollock on decknique http://decknique.net/forums/thread:3722 ...I know Jeff McBride is good at it..

Does anybody on this forum does it as well as those guys? and reaaalllll slowwww.where you still can't see it!

lots of people can back palm really well, lots of cards.

some of it is natural advantage (hand size) and most of it is just lots of practice.

I don't get what you mean about reaaaaalllll sloowwwww .... back-palming is not a "slow motion vanish" if you want to do that however, you can cover the action by bluffing a grab with your "clean hand"...

think of it as like a french drop but with a backpalm instead.

I've been working on my backpalm for the past few weeks and I can't do more than 5 cards, and even then I drop them 50% of the time.

Manipulation is said to be the most difficult form of magic so majority of people will never perform backpalm productions because of this.

It takes lots of practise to do that and I have a lot of respect for everyone who is able to perform card manipulation magic.

I'm working on an act currently. Here's the old one.

when you say "manipulation" I think you mean "productions" right ineski?

EVERYTHING we do with cards, magic or not, is a subset of manipulation.

I agree that very few people do it because of the difficulty... it just takes a lot of time to build up the necessary hand strength.
