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. : Bob K ______ At card trick central, there is a trick showing you how to do the back palm but it is not very clear for me. Are the cards supposed to be behind your fingers, or the back of your hand? Jeff McBride did a routine on wgm. But I think some of the time he also showed the back of his hand before he made the cards appear! How is that done? I have an item in a catalog you can order called, "deluxe card catcher" . Supposedly you can show the front and back of your hand and then catch a card out of air. Does anyone know how this gimmick works. It is $5.
