"I'm here on three. I'm going to bend at my waist and I'm going to going to close my hand into a clap. The difference between a clap and a clasp is in a clap I've got my hands in blades; if I were going to be in a clasp I would close my hands like this. I've just bent forward keeping a nice long back and now I'm in a low clap and I'm looking down. I'm not looking at the audience because that gives a different effect; I'm looking at the floor. You may also, if you can, tuck your head in so it looks even cleaner and you can look through your legs to the background behind you. I'm going to take you from your high V, that's at three. I'm going to bend and close my hands in a nice clap with my fingers in blade on four. I've got my head down, I'm squeezing my ears. It's the same as it would be if I was in a high clap, but I'm just leaning forward. My hands are slightly in front of my feet and I'm in a nice tight clap. Again, I'm here on three. I've gone from two, three, clap, four."
