How to Practice the Magic Pen Trick

And now Glenn is going to show us some tips for practice. Ok Grace you did a good job learning the trick but now the most important part is practicing it. Oh. And you can probably see what was happening right in your own hand so a mirror is absolutely necessary when you do this. Ok. You can use a mirror but you can really see what's happening right here when you're doing it yourself. Another thing a tip that you want to keep in mind when you are practicing, do it when you're standing. Why is that. That's because most likely you're going to be standing when you are performing it. Oh really. And your certainly not going to be doing it sitting down when there's a bunch of people around you, but you're going to stand up, so always do most of your tricks when you are practicing, practice standing up. You want to like ghost rehearse it, that's what they call it yeah. Exactly, that's right. And the other thing is you want to, you don't want to perform this until all your movements are completely smooth. Ok. Now you were doing a great job learning that, but you'll notice it was a little, a little off. It would be over rotated, under rotated (yes) maybe it wasn't as smooth. When it's smooth, you'll see it, you'll know when it's smooth. How long does it take approximately, how long to get it smooth, how many hours. You know I'm, if you really practice this I would say it wouldn't take more than an hour, two hours at the most. Ok so an hour is not a lot of time really. It's not, this isn't that hard the main thing is just the smoothness of it. And then connecting each segment so that it turns into a nice entertaining routine. Exactly that's great so one more time then, let's do it. Ok the first move (the second) it's gone, second move and of course then it comes back. Nice.
