My name is Wayne Phelps. What I’m going to do is to teach you how to do the finger palm. It doesn’t require a lot of skill to do a finger palm, and you really will do well in your magic once you figure out how it is done. This is what it looks like. Finger palm is going to work a lot like a classic palm. It’s always good to have variation in coin tricks, because it allows you the versatility to switch up at the last minute if you have to. I’m going to show you what it looks like when I do it. Finger palms are like classic palms. They’re very important in coin magic. Just about every coin magic trick out there requires you to have working knowledge of one of those two palms. The finger palm isn’t as knacky or as hard to do as a classic palm. Actually it’s fairly simple. All you do is you clip the coin in the crook of your middle and your ring finger where they meet your hand in the first joints. The fingers curve over the coin, clip it and holding in place and this gives you pretty much a free range of movement of your hand and it’s a very natural look. Watch, I’m going to do it one more time for you. Did you see it? Right there it is. As soon as I went to do my misdirection the hand is doing all the work, just lets it drop, holds it in the finger palm position and the hands drops naturally to the side. That is a finger palm.
