Mechanic's Palm

Amanda

Saw this advertised on YouTube and...

The "Mechanic's Palm Download" is an invaluable tutorial for any magician eager to master this sophisticated technique. The tutorial is exceptionally well-structured, beginning with a detailed explanation of the palm, followed by an under-the-table view and a slow-motion demonstration. This comprehensive approach ensures that learners can understand the intricacies of the move from multiple perspectives.

One of the standout features is the inclusion of the magician's point of view, offering crucial insight into how the palm should appear during a performance. Revisiting the entire move to emphasize the correct card orientation further solidifies understanding. The technique involves a riffle shuffle and an additional step at the end, which the instructor explains with clarity and confidence. The reassurance that precise finger positions are unnecessary is a great confidence booster.

I decided to purchase this download after seeing the move on YouTube via Vanishing Inc., and it exceeded my expectations. The 20-minute tutorial is filled with clear, close-up shots, making it easy to follow along. The instructor’s use of a white shirt, blue cards, and a red mat enhances visual clarity.

As someone with tiny hands, this palm is particularly advantageous since many other techniques are challenging for me. The deck provides cover, allowing me to execute the move smoothly despite my hand size. I am excited to integrate this palm into my close-up show, as it aligns perfectly with my capabilities and style.

Overall, the "Mechanic's Palm Download" offers concise, effective instruction. Its clear visuals and focused explanations make it a highly accessible and practical resource for magicians.

Great practical move and palming concept with excellent teaching, especially different perspectives (the often dismissed performers perspective which makes it harder to transpose and susceptible for wrong practicing, so every teaching should mandatory include performers perspective!!!) and the perspective from below as well as slow motion rehearsal and targeting the fine details.
Well done

Any fidget fiends that love a good mechanic to mess with this is for you. Not to difficult and the tutorial is explained really well. Quite a few good angles to demonstrate and i highly recommend this for anybody who loves to riffle shuffle and palming work. An absolute game changer.

Excellent!

19 minute video with a nice over-the-shoulder view and slow-motion explanation of the move. As someone who loves action palms, it is something worth exploring. Difficulty probably a 6/10 as I have been doing it for about a day or so and it does require some knack to it. Really is a normal riffle shuffle with a few subtleties that allow you to palm the bottom card. Can also be done into the right hand.

Edit: After going back through my library of downloads from Vanishing Inc. I've realized that this is very similar to Steve Reynold's Riffle Shuffle Action Palm. If you had gotten that download back in the day, I would say there is no need to purchase this one. Not sure why they're making it seem like a whole new concept, but I guess they're just giving it an HD update.

the move is extremely efficient and fun and stratifying to do so I recommend getting this and to start doing it it's so fun and great!!

Absolutely amazing! Thank you.

A very deceptive, natural looking move. Although the instructions are quite short, they cover everything perfectly. I found it surprisingly easy to learn and was able to do it pretty fluently within 20 mins. I would recommend

This is one of the best moves that has been released in the last couple of years. It is really an actual action palm that is happening during the action of a riffle shuffle. I also dare to say it is not too difficult. I played around with it while watching the tutorial and I managed to do it quite ok after a couple of times. This move really does not look like you are doing a move (like so many recently) and will be something you can actually use in the real world. They have also done a great job with crediting and are mentioning pretty much every possible magician on the planet - so also the usual complainers about this part will be happy ;)

Excellent.
This is very well taught. If you already can palm a card, this will not be difficult to learn. It is a deceptive and well polished/refined action palm that is shown in a clear and detailed manner. It's simple, invisible, and easy to learn. Give it the practice it deserves and you can't go wrong... especially at this price.
