![]() ![]() As you take the hand out of the container hold it as if you had a card back-palmed, but as natural as possible. Place the card in the container to your right without showing its face. Take the top card, hold it with the back towards the audience and say that they can call out ‘stop’ anytime they like, and that the card you are holding will then be their card. Place the deck face down in the container to your left. ![]() Have a card selected and control to 4th from top. Stand behind two containers such as pots, Baseball caps etc. That’s far less than if you entered “thumb tip”, which yields 384 entries (!), but it’s a start…īelow is yet another idea which I’ve used to great success in the past to fool more than one knowledgeable individual – can’t remember where this is from, but you’ll want to try this on your wife, girlfriend, magic buddy, or other victim, as soon as you finish reading it. If you go to conjuringarchive and enter “back-palm” into the search field you get 18 entries ( CLICK HERE). I agree that the back-palm has not that many practical applications outside of stage manipulation, BUT there are more than you think □Īs always, when faced with such an issue, a first quick fix is to check on Denis Behr’s “Archives”. So, if you have the book, look it up! Reminding You of Behr’s Archives With the exception of Jim Steinmeyer’s version of Cards to Pocket from his Conjuring Anthology book, I’ve never before read a card trick that utilized the back palm as a secret maneuver. To discuss a trick from time to time seems to please my readership, therefore we’ll have another one on this week’s Magic Memories thanks to Leo Hevia from Silver Spring (USA) who wrote in to comment on last week’s item “Card in Balloon” ( The Magic Memories 92), which used the back-palm: 22:00 – to compensate for this, there is a part 2, which you can find on the long list of other guests. If you are new to these Magic Memories, you may want to liste to the first part of the podcast ( CLICK HERE): You’ll have to fast forward through the opening chatter to get to the beginning of the interview at ca. In the background part of the over 80 Giobbi-titles, including the foreign language versions and new editions □ Attwood visits Giobbi Years ago Dave Attwood from Victoria, Canada, of “Dave Attwood Show” fame, one of the first magic podcasts before they became fashionable, did a two-part interview with me, one of the first on Internet, maybe the first for me… it was back in 2015, which by today’s software standards is medieval or earlier…Īnyway, Dave called saying he was on vacation in Europe and took upon himself a six-hour train ride from Munich, where he had attended the “Oktoberfest” for 3 days (!), to visit with me an evening and afternoon, before heading out to Vienna, and then back home over Paris – quite a trip.īelow is a photo, taken after a tasting of 5 Sherries (see Magialdia report below), and a great meal with venison ragout, a Swiss specialty (it’s game season). This cannot be bought with money, but it comes free as a result of a lot of unpaid work. It certainly makes me feel close to such people although I’ve never met them before. It is indeed one of my great pleasures when someone comes up to me after a show or a lecture, especially at magic conventions, and says something like, “Your books are my bed-side read”. One of the “additional benefits” (forgive the marketing language) of writing books is that I seem to have many more friends than I personally know! This is not a paradox, but reminiscent of what Jean Paul (1763 – 1825) once wrote: “Books are only thick letters to friends.” These are The Magic Memories 93, gone online Sunday, October 9th, 2022, at 0:07h sharp.
