I am a great believer in the idea that so called beginner sleights, when done properly, can be every bit as fooling as the more difficult sleights magicians like to chase. So I love things like the French drop, the finger-palm and the fake take.
So with that in mind, I was very excited to see this video appear here. Ponta’s tutorial is spot on. Easy to follow and understand, he covers everything you need to know to ensure that when you practice your fake take you aren’t just going through the motions. Paying attention at all times is the key.
I highly recommend this little tutorial. It certainly gave me a lot to think about as I practice.
