Hello everyone, I have some questions that I can't find answers to. I am reading the royal road of card magic and I have come to the chapter on palming. The questions are: 1) It seems to me that the authors have presented tricks that can be done in front of a single spectator. I would like to perform tricks in the street or in situations where I am surrounded by people, so how can I use the palming technique in this situation? The authors said that with this technique you should keep your hand on the deck after doing the palming for a while and then only then move your hand away to do what you want, but how is this applicable in the situation where I want to perform magic? The people standing to my left will see the card in my hand. 2) Assuming I need another technique for palming in this situation, what technique should I use ? More importantly, what is the purpose of teaching a technique that only works for one spectator? Maybe I'm missing something, because if palming is not possible to use with people around us, why was it invented?
