'''Palming''' is a technique for holding or concealing an object in the palm of the hand. It is used frequently by [[Magic (illusion)|magician]]s to conceal the presence of a card, coin, or other object. When done skillfully, the hand containing the palmed object appears to be completely empty. |
|||
==Methods== |
|||
Methods for palming differ depending on the object intended to be concealed. |
|||
==Uses== |
|||
Palming an object generally allows for one of three effects to take place. |
|||
*'''Vanishing''' an object can be achieved by palming it. Used properly, the object will seem to have disappeared completely, and the performer's hands will appear to be empty. The palmed object can then be skillfully transferred to the opposite hand, or secretly disposed of, allowing the performer's hands to be shown as actually empty. |
|||
*'''Producing''' an object can also be achieved by palming it out of sight of the viewer, or after the object has been "vanished" into the palm. Proper handling can give the appearance of two empty hands, and can conceal the origin of the item. |
|||
*'''Transposing''' two different objects can be achieved by simultaneously releasing one item from a palm grip, while inserting another. In this way, a card or coin can be made to appear to change into a different type or color. |
