I dont have much of a problem with doing a CP and keeping the card there, but about half of the time people tell me i palmed the card. When i ask them how they know, itis always the same answer. You did something like placing the card back on the deck. It is a problem which isnt usually discussed in either free or paid tutorials. Now i just wanna thank you for making this video and talking about this part.
I've never had a good palm cauz unfortunately in many tutorial you don't have those tips «what to do» «what you shouldn't do» it's just «like that» so that video is really usefull especially for me (i have the problem with releasing the card)
ANOTHER informative tutorial chock full of much needed tips. Alex is so smooth in techniques, for sure one of the top 10 card handlers on short list 🌎 over!!
@alexpandrea Right now, this is my favorite magic channel on UA-cam (next to DisturbReality). I love, that you give more the pro tips and performing tips. Especially the psycholocal things, like unjustified moves. I would love to see some live performances of you, maybe teach some complete routines. And especially I would love to hear you talking a bit about crowd control and performing itself. Anyway...keep it up this way!
Man I've always loved magic and wanted to learn but I physically can't even palm a card haha my hands way too small :c when I palm the card is just barely wider than my hands
How do you avoid palming more than one card? When I dribble, the last top cards generally tend to "stick" together, which makes it then difficult to palm only the top one without using a break (which takes time and destroys the flow of the palming...).
Ah damn i can do a one handed top palm palm from bottom etc but the card is just simply bigger than my hand in every direction. Tenkai no problem lateral no problem. I mean i guess i could use bridge cards but ehhhh just no. Do you know if i could perhaps one handed lateral palm the card kinda like in tony changs color change if you know which one i mean
Worked construction for many decades. Have large wide hands. Can palm a card and cover it with 3 fingers. Trouble is that my hands are so callused that a double lift is nearly impossible. I can't tell 1 card from 4. Any suggestions?.
The trick is to just throw it when it doesn't matter. So I may control their card to the bottom and then palm the top card. If they spot it then I can make a gag if they don't then I get experience. Same with the classic force. Always just practice it.
Kalpit Borkar I performed card to pocket in front of a live audience, and what I did was I saying a joke. While the audience was laughing, that gave me the opportunity to palm off the card. I did the same thing when I needed to palm off the whole deck. The key is misdirection. The cards are bigger than my hands, so I have to heavily rely on misdirection to compensate for my small hands.
People will tend to follow your gaze so don't be looking at your hands as you palm. Use a question or patter to make them focus elsewhere. Windows in your fingers won't matter if they're not looking at your hands anymore.
Change the angle of your hand. If you have windows, don’t show the the back of your hand head on, slowly tilt your hand forward until the windows disappear
i really do not like this method for a top palm, the way the hand is placed nearly flat on top of the deck is a complete giveaway in my opinion, i much prefer the vernon or berg palm where the hand stays arched and does not dip
Gary Biles I would normally agree with you, but Alex does it so smoothly. I think people just half ass palms too much, unlike Alex. He took a questionable palming technique and somehow made it look amazing. Thats just my opinion though.
Critical Movie Fan yeah, he certainly executes the technique very well, he executes every technique very well to be fair, i just think that are better methods out there where the hand does not dip, more the card is levered into a higher arched palm, the hand does not need to flatten in order to get the card into palm, just my thoughts though but sure, alex is a fine fine magician
Thank you so much for the tips for those of us with small hands! I never thought I’d be able to palm a card but this has got me practicing.
Something I do is I use the ad cards and I'll take them everywhere and have them in Palm. I didn't matter if they get bent so there great
0:35 "yo yo yo" sounded like you were about to start rapping 😂😂 , great video alex
Until *another video today* lol
Still does
This channel is a gold mine
Yes, you are right this is a real gold mine, love this channel

You are really a great teacher Alex. You and asad is my fav teacher. Thanks for teaching us .
one of the best teacher in youtube. thx dude ♡
A problem I have is the card is often warped from being curved in my hand, so when I replace the card it always seems incongruent
This will definitely help me elevate my palming! Thanks as always
I can palm and am quite comfortable doing it too. But this was the best tutorial I've ever seen on CP

Your card handling looks effortlessly insane!

@Alex Pandrea ! That would be awesome if you also could give us ways to conceal windows (between fingers).
Man I've always loved magic and wanted to learn but I physically can't even palm a card haha my hands way too small :c when I palm the card is just barely wider than my hands
Very good lesson!

I wish the vid highlighted more how you flex your index. I can’t seem to do it. Great video though!

Thanks for another great video.
Thanks for the knowledge! Tho can you teach how you make the card pop into view from the palm like in the intro plzzzzz?
Thanks for the tips
Nicely done
Great stuff. Thanks! Helps
Thanks for this! This was great.
Cleaning tricks is his job...man you really do clean sleight of hand so nice

Pffffft😂🤣
Ah damn i can do a one handed top palm palm from bottom etc but the card is just simply bigger than my hand in every direction. Tenkai no problem lateral no problem.

Yea, get big cards
@@babla69420 you're no help! Lol
"I thought I had too small hands." Hah, my hands are like half the size of your's.
you're a legend, bro. We have similar sized hands so this is super handy... pun intended :P Are you a leftie or righty? :)
Alex i want to ask you a question. When i bought prisoners digital , i did not find slider with it .it is bonus....why???!!!
Very nice
Your sleight of hand and take on cards are just too good to be free
I have Clinodactyly, know any magicians who talk about how they workaround?
Youre too cool bro
What is the name of this deck
Best way of misdirection "give me favour....just remember your card don't forget it"
I know I can palm good but I'm too scared to use it live in front of the audience.
The trick is to just throw it when it doesn't matter.
So I may control their card to the bottom and then palm the top card.
If they spot it then I can make a gag if they don't then I get experience.
Same with the classic force. Always just practice it.
Kalpit Borkar same

I did the same thing when I needed to palm off the whole deck. The key is misdirection. The cards are bigger than my hands, so I have to heavily rely on misdirection to compensate for my small hands.
@@ThreeStrikeRule pmok
I always have problem palming card because the card can be seen through my fingers.

Eat more
Change the angle of your hand. If you have windows, don’t show the the back of your hand head on, slowly tilt your hand forward until the windows disappear
Awesome! Undertow will be easier now
PD first
Ok I give up.. I don't think I'll ever achieve any level in cardistry 😭😭😭
First!!!!! alex NOTICE ME!!!
If you really want to hate your small hands, try palming a card and make it look natural.
