I posted a same thread about three weeks ago, but I just figured to post in here.

This thread is from four weeks ago. It was bumped for some reason. I've noticed a lot of threads getting bumped lately.

Palming Goals

*About palming, I have been playing with palming for a couple of months now, and In live performances I doscovered that the catched me not because of my sleight to actually get the card in palm position, they catched me because my hand was very akward and I wasnt doing the palm in the off beat.

instead of practicing palming techniques ( of course they are also necessary) practice in front of the mirror how the card looks in your hand palmed, if you have clips of yourself performing for real audiences, watch how you make poses with oyur body without a card palmed and then try to recreat those postures with the card palmed in your hand.

Another note, look for ways to blend or justify your two hands grabbing the deck toguether, remember we do not normally grab the deck with two hands, so if you just take your two hands and palm the card right away, they will catch you for sure.

On a final note on palming, the best top palm that I recommend is definetly Dai Vernon's "topping the deck" you palm the top card under the action of raising the deck to your finger tips.

Thanks for the tips. The palming techniques (individual, of course) are probably the ones I am having struggle with. I have Expert at Card Table, rereading the details and the finger positions. However, when it comes to the performance, they always catch the secret move because the hand window is open, I am not sure if that's what this refer to. My goal requires a lot of practise in palming and somehow I will have to use misdirection. I may have to pick up John Carney Palming DVD. Again, thanks for the tips.

There is also the Bob White Palming DVD as well.

One thing to note is practice palming like you were doing the classic force. Just palm a card whenever and where ever, even if you don't need to.
