French Drop Sleight of Hand Magic Tricks

Video Transcript

"Alright, so now I'm going to show you a classic piece of slide of hand called the French drop. This is something you can use as an alternative to the false transfers that I've shown you already. Even in the trick that we did in office supplies with the 2-ball transfer, this is a move you can use to replace the false transfer. Let's say I want to make it look like this ball is going to appear under the cup. I have a ball there already. I'm going to use the French drop to make it look like the ball disappeared and reappeared down here under the cup. Let me do that again for you. If I take the ball, grab it like this, it's going to look like it went away. It's going to reappear under the cup. There are 2 balls in use. What I'm doing is I'm using this slide of hand move to make the ball looked like it disappeared, and then I'm having the other ball up here. There is a duplicate. In a minute, I'm going to break this down for you and show you exactly how to do it. Pretty soon you'll be an expert of the French drop."
