Not sure if this qualifies as "Finger Manipulation," but here we go:



I am looking for a resource where I can learn the mechanics of the Vernon Wand Spin (as is often featured in many Cups & Balls routines.) Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Alan,

You will want to get the book, "The Magic of Michael Ammar" which includes instruction and Michael’s Cups and Balls routine. It also has the David Williamson Striking Vanish, a very useful move.



Don’t forget safety glasses, a protective cup, and an OSHA-approved wand...



Cheers,



Wynn

That really made me laugh!

Michael Ammar's Cups and Balls videos also show the wand spin.



OSHA-Approved..... too much!

Thanks guys! It would have taken me months to track down that information without your help.

It has a host of spinning techniques.

Alan,

I'm not sure whether you want the Vernon Spin only or just a spin. Dave Williamson has a spin on one of his videos that seems easier to do than the Vernon version.

It has been a while since I've seen it. Maybe it won't work for the Silent Mora -- is that the origin of it -- vanish? I do seem to remember that Dave used his spin for the strike vanish.
