Now I wonder why Ammar didn't stand up? Do you think he missed the top-it?

That was a nice save Michael did there when David wanted to examine the scarf. Great routine, great magician, can't wait to use the little hand in my close-up routine.

No you can use his topit sitting down absolutley that's what makes it so sick I have it on my jacket. The little hand reqiures no skill in fact I perform it slightly different but still the same outcome, get the topit otherwise your naked without it.

That was very humorous, I love Ammar's laugh =) But Shane, Ammar could've done his Topit standing up couldn't he? So he didn't have to agree with Letterman ("When you stand up it'll go PLUNK"). And btw, does the tiny hand require extensive sleight of hand work? It looks terribly difficult to perform...

It's one of the easiest and one of the harder hitting tricks that I do. If you search "Little Hand" in the search bar on the main site, you can find a link of me performing it a couple weeks ago at a friend's house.

No the phone vanish was the infamous "Ammar Topit". I use the tiny hand daily its killer.

That coin vanish with the tiny hand gets a different reaction than ordinary magic tricks. The laughs after that are really loud.

The scarf trick is called "Sheer Surprise" you should be able to order it directly from Ammar if you email him directly. He actually teaches this version of pressure at the lecture if you ask him but usually out of respect to Danny he doesn't just offer it up.

He taught all of these (minus pressure) during his lecture. If you haven't been, definitely check it out!

He should have let him examine the balloon, and also I wonder if the silk was examinable. Other than that fantastic job! :)

The phone vanish was almost like a camera trick. Cool stuff, and very well performed.
