Carney on Palming
Get 240 VI Points for this purchase.
Many of the most powerful effects in card magic require the palming of a playing card. Yet nothing else strikes fear in the heart of the uninitiated as much as this prospect. The fear itself is the single greatest obstacle to effective palming.
Fear not, for John Carney is acknowledged as one of the finest sleight of hand artists and teachers in the world. In this collection he gives you practical tips and effective techniques for stealing, concealing and controlling playing cards. This information is indispensable to students of pure and amazing card magic.
I really enjoyed it sofar. It's a good way to further understand the palm. John Carney does a good job explaining the different palms and gives you good reasons why to use one over another. Looking forward to watching the rest of the videos and mastering palming.
This is great. You get all of John’s techniques on palming instead of paying for them individually. My favorite so far is Tenkai-esque, which is a nice alternative to the DPS. But he also has some nice touches on DPS that I haven’t seen before. If you like these types of moves this is for you. I’ll be studying these moves for years to come.
Fantastic overview of some of the classic techniques involved in palming cards. Includes some very helpful subtleties and the odd uncommon method. Also excellent explanations of the Erdnase/Houdini and the Leipzig colour changes.
This was very helpful. I really like the variations offered too. Carney is one of the best!
Outstanding technique taught by the very best - if not THE best. Clear instruction and filming although he makes it look frustratingly easy, these moves will require a lot of practice to get smooth but worth every second of every minute so don’t be put off. As Carney says “…..some of these are not difficult to do, they just require practice and a knack”.
You get 7 videos on Palming. John Carney is one of the greatest card workers alive today. The videos are quite short and could've been longer. However, it is still 4 stars because Carney offers advice and tips you could easily overlook. This video set would be a great complementary source to Erdnase and Royal Road and Card College. With those books and this video and hours of practice, you'll be on your way to getting the elusive palm perfected and workable.

ERIC asks: How long is the video? Thanks!
DJ asks: Is this product the compilation of all the videos John filmed for Dan & Dave that are offered here individually, or the digital version of his "Carney on Palming" DVD from 2004? From the teaser video I presume it's the latter, but the titles are identical so...
