Steve's One Handed Bottom Palm Introduction (From Card Magic Course)

This is my one-handed top palm and bottom palm, sorry, and I palm the card there. So it's not an invisible palm, it needs a bit of misdirection but the good thing about this bottom palm is you can come, you can do it down there, oops got caught up there, you can do it, get that wire out of the way, you can do it down there and that the the card is palmed. So a lot of, as I'm going to say in the close-up as well, a lot of one-handed top palms feel a bit, bottom palms I keep saying top palms, feel a bit balancy to me. You've got to kind of put the deck in a very slightly weird position. Now someone like Ben Earl is a lot better at this, he doesn't have to but I always feel like I'm kind of having to balance it a little bit and getting to get that card palmed in. With this one there's no balance, you're gripping the deck and that you can do it, like I can do it with the deck facing, not I never would, but with the hands like this, so gravity is nothing, you don't, gravity doesn't play a part at all. So I can be down here, I can gesture, I can do the palm, give the pack out for shuffling. The only downside, there is a way of doing it but it's not very good for multiple cards. Now there is a way of doing it but it's a bit, this is a kind of single bottom, one-handed bottom palm really and if you're going to do multiple cards then the the other one-handed bottom palm I think is a little bit better but for one card, if you've got a card on the bottom of the deck, you're going to hand it out for shuffling, put it back and you're ready to go. So I'll go through the workings of it in close-up but just so you can see it in action, it's that. So again from here and there's not that much movement but like I say it's something that you're going to want to misdirect and there's my one-handed bottom palm.
