Magic

This palm is made as follows: Having gotten the ball into the right hand draw attention to the left with the fingers of the right, showing it back and front. When doing this you will be standing with your right side toward the audience. Now make a sharp half turn to the right and show the right hand in the same manner. This you will be able to do, as when making the turn the palms of the hands very naturally pass over each other, and the ball is transferred from the palm of the right hand to that of the left.

Fig. 24.—Revolving Ball

The ball is now found on the back of the right hand.


Manipulation.—The amount of manipulation possible with a single ball is considerable, and limited only by the dexterity of the performer.
