Classic Palm Magic Trick

Video Transcript

Hi! I am Joe Marshall with expertvillage.com. I am a professional magician and today we are going to go over some basic magic tricks. Now we have the basics of the French drop and the subtleties of dropping the hand out. We are going to move onto the actual vanish, and loading the coin from the finger palm into classic palm as we vanish the coin. So what happened is they think the coin is still there; this hand is dropped out of view. You are going to make a crumbling motion, and as you doing that, since you are directing their attention on the crumbling motion of the coin, you are going to take the coin from finger palm and use your ring finger to push it into classic palm. The classic palm is just basically that. So from finger palm to classic palm. The important part about that is, as it is coming up from finger palm into classic palm, if you do this type of thing to get it in the classic palm, it is going to look kind of funny. That is a sign of an amateur, as even professionals will sometimes do this thing to get the classic palm; because basically the way the classic palm works is when it is in your palm, it is the flush of each side of your hand. It is a side squeeze. Some magicians will try to squeeze it like that, it just looks silly like that, so the best way is the pad of the thumb and this part of your hand squeezed together; and it just kind of pinches the coin there in between the fold of the thumb and the hand. And in motion it looks fine, but you just still want to keep it there, and you want to keep it moving; and again when you load it in the classic palm you just want to move the knuckle out to get it in there. You do not want to do this thing because, you know, it looks amateur. So, you wave them, then you do the crumbling motion, get their attention there, and you open the hand and it is gone. That is basically, the wrap up of moving it from the finger palm to classic palm.
