Chapter 385: Flexible Hands
"Below I am talking about several of the most popular coin techniques, if you are interested, practice it yourself, and if you are not interested, you should popularize knowledge, and you can say one, two, three when you see it in the future."
"The Classic Palm, also known as the Classical Coin Method, is one of the most important and fundamental techniques of coin magic. The first step in learning coin magic is to learn how to collect coins, and it is arguably the most widely used method of collecting coins, along with finger palm, don palm, back palm, thumb palm, tenkai palm and so on. ”
"First of all, let's take a look at the muscles of our palms, the classical method of collecting coins is mainly to use the muscles of the palm of the hand to connect the thumb and little finger to clamp the coin in the palm of the hand, and after raising the palm of the hand, you can find that a V-shaped gap will be formed under the coin."
"You may feel uncomfortable at first, but once you're skilled, you'll naturally hide your coins. Put your palm down, and the coin won't fall. When you remove the coin, a blood mark will form on your palm, and after a long period of habit, the blood mark will form a well-developed muscle, so it is easy to use this technique. ”
"After getting used to it, you can also try to hide one or two more coins to enhance the development of muscles. It is also convenient to use on some magic programs. It takes about two weeks for the average person to practice naturally, half an hour a day, so if you want to be fast, you might as well hide a coin and go to work, go shopping, and go faster. ”
"Retention Pass, it can be said to be one of the most important techniques of coin magic, the techniques evolved from ancient coin magic are also very diverse, the most important thing is the rhythm of the performance, and it is also the most difficult part to master, because the left and right hands have to make different movements, and the perspective must be accurate, and the speed should not be too fast or too slow."
"The principle of RP is actually very simple, it is a trick to make the audience feel that you put a coin from the right hand to the left hand, but in fact the coin is still in the right hand. This is a great way to misdirect, as the viewer will generally keep their eyes on their left hand and wait for your left hand to make the next move. ”
"RP'S FIRST TEACHING WAS IN THE BOOK THE ART OF MAGIC, THE AUTHOR IS UNKNOWN. Other magicians like Harry Stork, T.J. Craford, Dai Vernon, ***. Bobo and David Roth have both published RP tutorials. ”
"I'm going to explain the RP technique now, grasping the end of the coin with the index finger and thumb of the right hand and placing it horizontally on the palm of the left hand. Turn the coin over with your right hand so that the coin touches the palm of your left hand, with the fingers of your left hand slightly bent at this point. The fingers of the left hand continue to bend, and the middle finger of the right hand moves to the middle of the coin. ”
"Use the middle finger and thumb of your right hand to retract the coin until it is parallel to the horizon, and then at the same time the right hand begins to retract to the right. Place the coin horizontally on the ring and little fingers, with the right hand continuing to retract while the left hand continues to close. Finally, close your left hand completely and continue your right hand in a natural position. ”
"At this point, the audience's focus will fall on the left hand without the coin, and they think you've put the coin in your left hand," Mochi slowly showed off the whole set. The whole process has to be very smooth and skillful to be effective, and it is important to note that your eyes must stay on the left hand and not the right hand as the viewer. This is a mistake that many novices make, often the audience will pay attention to the magician's eyes, so your eyes are the best guide for the audience. ”
"When you're done with this process, remember that your right hand doesn't move too much, you can either place it on the table or on your thigh. Don't put your right hand in your trouser pocket, as this will arouse suspicion from the audience. ”
"The Finger Palm is one of the most commonly used techniques after the Classic Palm. The method is as simple as placing the coin inside the first knuckle of the middle and ring fingers, and then using the muscles of the palm and fingers to hold the coin up and down. Its main benefit is the ability to hide coins in a natural position, which is also the most common technique used by novices. ”
"Thumb Palm is the thumb coin method. It is to use the muscles of the palm under the thumb and index finger to hold the coin. This technique is similar to that of the Classic Palm, except that the thumb is not as flexible as the palm of the hand, and it can only hide a coin. ”
"However, when this technique is used, only part of the coin is caught in the muscle, which is useful in practice for passing coins, that is, secretly passing coins from one hand to the other."
The coin is placed on the third knuckle of the index and middle fingers, and the second finger is bent and the coin is moved to the thumb. Hold the coin coin with your thumb. ”
V --- Dons Palm, place the coin horizontally in the tiger's mouth, which is the bent position between the thumb and index finger, and then use the muscles on both sides to clamp the ends of the coin. When you put the coin in the right position, you can see that you can't see the coin in the front and back of your palm. Usually this technique is used to produce coins, hide coins in the palm of your hand, etc. ”
"Hold the coin between the tips of your index and middle fingers, bend your two fingers, push the coin to the tiger's mouth, and use the muscles on both sides of the tiger's mouth to grip the coin."
"In the French drop, the coin is placed between the thumb and middle finger of the right hand, and then the thumb is relaxed, and the coin returns to the finger palm position. It is usually used to make the effect of disappearing or exchanging coins. ”
"Coin Roll, which is the coin I just performed, usually has some fancy tricks for all kinds of magic tricks, and coins are no exception. It is very important, because it is a fancy skill that novices must practice, on the one hand, it helps to improve the image of the magician himself, and to put it bluntly, it is necessary to be handsome; On the other hand, it can exercise the dexterity of the fingers. ”
"It's not hard to understand, but it takes a lot of hard work to be able to play smoothly. There are several main points, such as starting with the first knuckle of the thumb and the third knuckle of the index finger, clamping the end of the coin, and then relaxing. The other end of the coin will touch between the index finger and the middle finger, and the coin will gently swing to the other side by holding the end directly with the middle index finger, and so on. ”
"When the coin touches the last finger, the little finger and ring finger hold the whole coin, and the center of the coin is clamped, not the tail. Then the thumb is in the center of the coin to bring the coin out and back to the point of origin, so that is a cycle. ”
"There will be some sluggishness in your fingers when you first start practicing, so don't rush it. As with the Classic Palm, it takes some getting used to, so it's a good idea to keep a coin with you at all times and practice when you have free time. ”
"Back Palm, the back hiding method is one of the hardest tricks, but if you want to really learn the trick of coin magic, you can't miss it. This technique is mainly to make your palm empty, and in a magic show, the audience will be watching your palm all the time, so it is a good way to misguide your palm when it is empty. ”
"Place the coin on your middle and ring fingers, bend your middle fingers, push the coin behind your second finger with your thumb, hold the ends of the coin between the ends with your index and little fingers, and straighten your four fingers," Mochi demonstrated. ”
The Goshman Pinch is similar to the back-hiding method, except that it only uses the little finger to hold the coin. Place the coin on your middle and ring fingers, bend your middle fingers and use your thumb to push the coin behind your second finger. Use your pinky finger to clamp the coin end. Four fingers are straightened, and the coin and finger level must be at an angle of 30 to 40 degrees. ”
"Back Finger Clip is one of the techniques of back hiding, and the function is similar to other back hiding. However, it has the advantage of being able to hide coins quickly, making it much easier to operate than Goshman Pinch and Back Palm, and it is also quick to reverse it. The only drawback is that the viewing angle is more limited, and it is not as flexible as the previous two backs. ”
"Hold the coin between your thumb, index finger and middle finger, push the coin behind your middle finger with your thumb, and hold the ends of the coin between your index and ring fingers. The function of the ring finger is to adjust the angle of the index finger when holding the coin, the ring finger is released, and the end of the coin is clamped with the index finger, and the four fingers are straightened. ”
Mo Qi showed the basic technique of coins to fans at one time, and finally shook his hand and said with a smile: "How many coins do you think I have in my hand now?" ”
