"And we're here with Glenn Dolf and the pen trick, so what's next. Ok so you conditioned them to see the pen like this. Now you're going to do the paddle move that you've practiced so hard. Yes. But remember what we talked about before is making the magic happen. And that's using a magical gesture. All you do is tap it, that's what I like to do, you can wave your hand over, you can tap it, you can snap your fingers, but the important thing again is to do some kind of magical gesture so that the magic is happening. Ok let me tell you when you tapped it, this is what I thought I'm not kidding. I said maybe there's some kind of powder there, I'm not kidding, I know this is a terrible confession to make, but I really thought that was the case, that maybe there was some kind of trick in the pen, so that one really worked for me, the tapping. Ok, tapping works. So we can tap it and then execute the paddle move. So the magical gesture as you've done it already, and now you're going to show them that there's writing on both sides. Only do it twice. Twice? Only do it twice. The paddle movement? Ok you're going to show them the writing on both sides just two times, you don't want to over do it and you don't want to do it just once. Ok. Ok. So you'll tap it, go like this, you'll notice that the writing is on both sides and stop. So it's, it's almost like adding a beat so people can, it can sink in to their unconscious (exactly)ok now it's going to happen, boom the magic you just separating reality from magic with a beat. That's exactly it. Ok. Great. Our next step is going to be a vanish of the writing. And that's a very simple to accomplish, this is how it looks. Ok. I take my hand. Nice. That's a nice, It’s a nice move right. And what it is, and you did it, and what it is it's half a paddle move, in other words you don't have to rotate your hand now. You're just doing the half. Can't they tell though that we're going that..No remember what we talked about, the larger movement, that's this one covers the smaller movement. Ohh brilliant. So the larger move always covers the small move, well I'll have to practice that. You'll have to practice that one. See I didn't move it, I didn't rotate it. When my friend showed me this one it was one of the most magical things I'd ever seen and he just did, did this and made a gesture as if he's throwing (nice) the writing away. But you have to be fast because I'm doing it too slow so. Right and then the paddle move is executed again and now it looks like it's completely blank. Fantastic so the magic gesture is very important so we said reality, we separate reality from the magic and next what are we going to learn. We're learn how to wrap it up. Ooh nice so stay tuned."
