Hey, I have done the trick few times, but I found it very difficult 4 me to misdirect the person 4 whom I do it. First I put my hand normal and ask the spectator 2 put his hand like me. then he tried to do that but I don't get the time 2 t**n my arm.anybody plz give me better idea to misdirect? or pm me.
Everythin in this world should be explanable!

Judst don't worry about it<if you don't think about it no one else will.
Also if you do it on a table,try putting your hand under the table and then t**n your hand or start off with it already twi**** on the table . Hope this helps ,Tyler

I tried it to say that ur arm is wrong and try to show them. but in nthis time they try to make their arm right by seeing my hand. what do I do then. again there is a problem, when I do the turn it does not look natural, and people also have a secure eyes. what should I do?

Just ask the person to come to ur right side and follow wad you did.... when they are moving to ur right side, quickly change ur position of the hand

I do it this way....speak directly at them, then I glance down and say something like 'mind where you put your hand' or 'watch the mucky bit' then using this moment do what is required and abracadabra a miracle:-)

With the misdirection and also ensuring wrist is covered (I usually do this in a long sleeved shirt or jacket) and most of all confidence you'll get away with it.

Your hand will only look unnatural if you use short sleeves or if you don't twist your hand properly..

I allways do this.
The spec is infront of me, mirroring me. When we both are in position, and we start twisting, stop and say: "I want you to do this" then I take his hand, showing him where to hold and how to twist, I twist till I feel resistans so he knows that it cant twist any more, then I get my hands in the "right" position, and tell him to grab my hand like I grabbed his, and twist. First I offer resistans, and then I let go so it could twist easier. An added effect is if you have time to put a plastic cup in between your arm and body (maybe in the armpit) and just when you start twisting all the way around, crush the cup, do it right and you get the sound of bones braking. hope you understand me. anyways, enjoy
keep an open mind, but also an open eye

My favorite form of misdirection with this trick is to have a story going at the same time as I set it up. I try not to set it up like a magic trick but instead start a conversation with someone telling them some sort of "background" story. People will almost always make eye contact with you while you talk to them. You have to position your arm casually while they're focused on you and then use the story to lead into it.

I demonstrate how to do it, and then I help the spectator, which causes the attention to move to them. then I can perform the move

I think I've came up with something that always work. If you do it with your let hand and the spectator is on your right side you should have no problem. Just lean forward real quick and perform the "move". If you do it quick and natural no suspicion should arrive. GOOD LUCK!

I have been doing this for about 15 years. Put your hand down THEN tell the spectator to do what you do. They will look a little confused. Tell them to put their hand like yours, and then put your other hand down and they will follow. You have your first hand down even before they suspect your going to do anything at all.

The way that I do it is have the spec on my right facing the same direction (or facing an audience). I plan on twisting my right hand. Put your hands facing forward and tell the spec to do exactly what you do.
Now both you and the spec should have both hands on the table or ground facing forward. Tell them to turn their hands to the left (90 degrees). Take your LEFT hand and bring it over your right hand and point to THEIR right hand. This is a large movement (that covers the small movement) that as you swing your left arm over to point at their hand, your right hand does "the move" as you say, "Now, with THIS hand, do what I do". When you do this "pointing thing", you need to look at their hand, lean toward them and focus on THEM at that moment. This is all basic misdirection. Bring your left hand back into position as well as bring your body back into position. Now you are set to twist your right arm, as the spec is trying at the same time. Note, long sleeves is really a must here. I like a loose fitting cuff as well. Hope that helps. One more thing...you can add to the effect by putting a crushable plastic cup under your arm pit and making a "crunching" noise as you squeeze your arm.

Have 2 people do it at the same time and tell one of them (after correcting him)to do it like the other one as an example, this could give you some more time to set up

This is a very good trick and gets great reactions. I've been doing it for a long time now and I think I'll never get bored. I always wear a long sleeve shirt or a jacket. anything to cover my arm. you have no choice. without the cover you'll get caught. I never had a problem over misdirection with this one but I see everyone here has posted great ideas. so good luck!
