My Performance of the Harada Hold

[Sam Hardy]

First, before you watch the video, let me say this - I KNOW that when I put the coin into my hand, it takes a little longer than I'd like. I'm workin' on it.

I was also wondering whether or not you think I should scrap the first performance, and just keep the second (as I think that one's the better one). Tell me what you think

Well Its weird?
your right hand isnt natural at all.
so if you right hand has anything on it or if it has anything to do with the 'hold' I suggest looking at it from every view,
hecklers, oldies, youngins and so foth and then see how you can make it better.

You're hands are too unnatural
Should scrap both performances and practice a bit more
Smoothness is key

take a tip from my buddy here:

Yeah, I commented on that video about a week ago. He's very good.

Trouble with the Harada Hold is it's hard to get natural. I'll keep practicing and practicing, but it is difficult.

Good, but there was way too much "showing" without the excess hand movements after the vanish, it would be better.


The Harada Hold demo shows it better than anywhere else.

What coin are you using? Doesn't your hand hurt?

I decided to remove the video and work on it, make it smoother and incorporate more variations (mostly from the Harada Hold demo video).

What coin are you using? Doesn't your hand hurt?

I use a 2p (or a £2, depends), and my hand has kinda got used to it.
