The best trick I can perform is the vanishing card and that is when I back palm it. After I back palm it I make the audience know it is gone by Back palm Front Palm. What I want to know is what should I do after this trick? (I want another vanish trick to fallow):hrmph:
I tryed the tenkai but it always fails. Wikiro

So you've finished your pivot and you now have the card backpalmed? Well you could just do a production, whatever you know how to do. I like producing at the fingertips. Or here's an idea, do the pivot only halfway so that the card is front clipped and then do "the perfect production" since you only have a single card (and it's clipped rather than palmed) though it's kind of weird.
Really if you want to take the next step you need to start working on backpalming more than one card. I've found that nobody I know is impressed by merely backpalming and reproducing a card. After all, it's not that much of a leap to figure out where it went. The beauty of productions comes when you can produce streams of card and they are going "I think I know what's going on but how can there be so many?" Just my opinion someone with more experience will probably have something better for you. -Dan |

Wikiro,
Why do you want another vanish? I mean, from the spectator's viewpoint, it's just another vanish, no matter how you may change the method! Why not try doing something else with the card once you produce it... like turning it into an elephant , or have it vanish in a burst of flame (never to be reproduced again in that particular act)? I think we sometimes lose track of the fact that the spectators should be completely unaware of the method. Therefore, vanishing with a backpalm, then vanishing with a Tenkai palm.... to the spectator, it's just a repetition of the same effect. Magicians might appreciate the variety, but I'm not convinced that it adds anything to the spectator's enjoyment. By the way, I do a wicked Tenkai, but never get a good back palm. My hat's off to you!

One way to make your back palm to front palm part of a fuller routine (so that the vanish isn't just dangling there without any kind of thematic resolution) is to add a transposition. For example, the way I use the backpalm in a routine is to start of doing a traditional Ambitious Card routine. For the finale, have the spectator's card on top and do double lift, showing the worng card, and pretend like something's gone wrong. Then flip the double back over, take off the spectator's card, vanish it using a backpalm, then reach into the air show the "new" card as being the selected card. You can make up some patter about how this time their card went too high up. Whatever suits you. In any event, I find that a backpalm coupled with a transposition gets a good reaction from people.
Take care, kou |
