: I was wondering what type of palming technique is used when a magician shows the front of his hand empty then prodeeds to reveal between ten and twenty cards, either one at a time, or in fans of about five cards. Lance Burton did this in his special last year during the whole sleight of hand routine. I have tried to duplicate it by using the backpalm but I can not backpalm more than about 5 cards. What is the name of this palming technique and where can I go to learn more about it?? Thanks.

With practice you can get more than 5 cards.. A lot of people use manipulation cards which are thinner and more flexible, but even with those it takes a lot of practice. They also usually have a back color that blends in with your hand better than normal cards, but the only ones I've seen sold are also bridge size and not poker size. I think Jeff McBride uses Bee cards, and he describes how he breaks in new cards to make them more flexible and easier to palm on his card manipulation videos.
