Hey Apollo, needless to say,I'm a fan
In your video Cultural Xchange DVD, you explained the variation on the Bertram color change. You mentioned the angle palm, which is good for close up. I agree totally, as I use it EXTENSIVELY, though 80% I do it seated! Although I can do it stand up, but any advices on the subject from you're experience would be awesome. Oh, and Apollo, can you recommend some sources to learn misdirection principles? I'm fimilar with the misdirection principles, but if any certain book/DVD I should study, then it would be great! Thanks ~ Feras |

Hi Feras,
Pleasure to meet you. If you try playing with the angle palm while your standing and your audience is seated, you will find that your forearm covers a lot of the angles on one side. If your audience is also standing than it helps to calculate your angles by aligning the card with an invisible plane drawn from your belly button to the center of their forehead. Does that make sense? For "misdirection principles" make sure to study Tommy Wonders thoughts on this. Both in his books and his notes. Juan Tamariz "The Five Points" is an excellent study on focus management and cognitive blindness. Additional routines of interest: Goshman's Coin under Saltshaker Michael Close's The Card, the Forehead & the Salt Shaker That should get you off to a good start. ~ Apollo |

Lennart Green worked on his lateral palm to have a similar but alternate method to using tenkai while seated. I think that if you do a lot of your work seated at a table, lateral palm could help you quite a bit.

Both Lennert and Steranko have extensive work in this area. I usually use the angle palm if I wanted to hold out a card while still casually cutting the cards or shuffling. It allowed me more freedom with my fingers.

I learned all I know pretty much from watching Marlo doing it in one of his VHS ( Private Studies I think ), Marlo's magazines and trying different ideas and techniques. I'm yet to get Revolutionary Card Technique, and looking forward for Mr.Green's DVDs and Steranko's book ( I think it will be reprinted soon ). Any other sources? ~ Feras P.S Mark, I use both lateral and angle palms, I usually go with angle palm since its more comfortable for my hand. |

I think you pretty much have all the sources I would be able to recommend. My tenkai steals were always from the bottom of the deck as you rotated the deck into the opposite hand.

Yeah Apollo, I recall you explained something like that in the DVD if I remember correctly.
Thanks, honored to get information from you! ~ Feras |
