A comprehensive guide to mastering one of card magic’s most versatile and essential sleights.
While most magicians understand that palming cards is a foundational block of card magic, few of them ever venture beyond the basic palms and steals learned early in their magic journey. As such, many magicians will eventually find their inadequate sleight of hand toolbox preventing them from performing truly impressive card magic.
With Concerning the Palming of Cards, modern palming master John Galsworthy provides a step-by-step guide for conquering a variety of novel palming methods. By reworking and updating timeless moves like top palms, bottom palms, and palm steals, John arms you with a powerful arsenal of palms for any situation.
"John is the finest modern authority I can think of on the palming of cards – full stop."Jeremy Griffith
"John Galsworthy has spent more time on the intricacies of palming than anyone I've ever met."Andi Gladwin
At nearly 150 pages, there is no detail spared in Concerning the Palming of Cards. John not only teaches the finest points of the mechanics—from proper finger placement to alternate handlings—but also explores the motivations for each move. Everything is perfectly complemented by crystal-clear color photographs that simplify the learning process.
This stunning cloth linen hardback produced by Vanishing Inc. is an invaluable resource you’ll find yourself returning to often for inspiration. John has even included a detailed reference guide for those who want to explore these concepts even further.
