Sleight of hand tricks often form the backbone of a magician's repertoire. Most of them would have you believe that the exceptional hand speed they have developed over years of practice is the basis of their trickery. While this is certainly true to an extent, just as important to these types of tricks is the misdirection achieved by an accomplished magician. They manipulate the audience into looking away from where the hand sleight is taking place with a wave of the wand or a puff of smoke. In this way, they are able to confuse the minds of the audience as to what actually took place. Thus magicians are very much skilled entertainers in addition to master tricksters.
In this series of free magic videos, our professional magician demonstrates basic sleight of hand tricks such as the french drop and false transfer in a clear and easy-to-follow manner. He also performs several tricks using cups and balls and explains these routines in detail. He even shows you how to use a magic wand. Now that you know this magician's secret, make it your own.
