I have decided to take up magic.

Another one of my whims, I like many others have tried the whole slight of hand gig countless times and given up after five minutes because I didn't get immediate results. That said I have been able to do some cool little tricks for years.

But now, with so much time on my hands I have decided to take it to the next level. I just learnt how to pull off a perfect backpalm and its fucking awesome!

Took me about 5 or 6 minutes to get it right and another ten minutes to make it fluid. 15 minutes for the awesomness trick!

And here is how:

Called Backpalming, learning this magic trick is a must for any magician. You simply must spend some time and learn this magic trick! David Blaine, David Copperfield, Jeff McBride and countless other professional magicians do this. You can too!

Effect:

You can throw cards up into the air and they magically dissapear!​

Secret:

Start with one card, and eventually you can move onto more. Hold the card between your thumb and index and middle fingers. Have the face of this card toward the audience.​

Pretend to throw it up into the air. As you do this, make a fist. Let your fingers slip behind the card, so that now your thumb is pressing against your knuckles and is now holding the card.​

Press the two long edges between the knuckles. Your first and middle fingers will hold onto the top long edge, and your little and ring finger will hold onto the bottom edge. Don't worry about bending the card bigtime here.​

Release with your thumb and outstretch your fingers. Keep hold of the card. It should now dissapear behind your hand. (This is an exposed view. When you do this, keep your fingers together, and slowly keep your hand in motion.)​

It is okay if the corners show a little, just keep your hands moving up and down.​
To grab a card out of the air, just reverse this process and you can do this several times in a row.​
Here is what it should look like from the back:​

Will Smith did this in the Men In Black music video.​
You can also do this with business cards to impress clients.​

Its so fucking easy and it looks awesome!


TEH WIN!!!1

Hey! David Copperfield is for real! He can do things, honest! I saw him pull a rabbit out of cage, and the rabbit was sleeping, and he didn't even wake him up, and he trained the rabbit to pretend not to breath! It was awesome!
 
Cool! Thanks for the tip!

*vows to learn that right after juggling, and contact juggling. Now, where are my goslings again?*



If you didn't catch the reference, you're obviously not a fireflyflan
 
Ive been learning to twirl my sticks and toss them up in the air while playing, it's the same kind of ambidextrousness I have a feeling.
