Magic Sideswipe High Fives

So after you perfect the traditional high five you can do less traditional fives. The most common of the lesser traditional fives is the side swipe. Also known as the magic. Magic Johnson first did this high five in the early eighties after he stepped in for Kareem Abdul Jabber and dropped a sky hook. A lot of people think that he originated the magic or the side swipe but actually it was me and I taught it to Magic after I met him after a Lakers? game. Anyway, the thing about the Magic which is the most intriguing is that it can be, it's one of the most common fives to be, for lack of a better word, sort of a double entendre five. You can use it as a celebration like something magic happened, or as a hi, I haven't seen you in a while. From the Magic you can step into other types of greetings. You can parlay the magic into a shake, a little pound; you can, sorry, that's why I'm the big hand. You can parlay the magic into the shake and snap. The magic is one of the most adaptable fives that there are. Once we get through the rest of our fives you'll understand that it is the easiest to jump out of and combine with other fives to make what could be for you the most perfect five.
