Dry Hands

[frankiedoodle]

Hi folks

First post for me.

New to card magic.

I'm haviing trouble with card manipulation because I have very dry fingertips.
Is there a solution out there somewhere like a product that can be rubbed into the hands?

Well yes, but wouldn't that just make the cards greasy?

(I wasn't sure if you were being serious)

if you don't use a massive amount of lotion then it shouldn't make the cards greasy.
try clinching your fists for a bit and get them hot and a little sweaty. not too much, because then that makes it just as hard to handle cards as dry hands.
breathe on your hands too. like you do when they're cold. sounds a little weird, but try it.
hope that helps! :]

Do this.
1) Do some finger exercizes to get your hands nice and warm.
2) Rinse them with cold water
3) Dry them
4) Work with your cards

Ahh this might sound wierd but apparently Vagisil is a good moisturizer for yoru hands. This was just an idea that had come fromPrevious posts on the same topic.
