my ring finger and last finger bump against each other, creating a gap also... but u dun have difficulties with other tricks right?

you can do a decent back palm after about 150-200 times.at first,do not add any movements or swinging of hands.jyst do it still....once u get the hang of it,then u add movements.basically,it can be done with all kind of cards that is not bigger than your palm

Use normal playing cards, after all, you'll be back-palming cards in the first place.
Next, bend the cards along the vertical axis so that it makes it easier for you to grip the corners with the gap between your fingers, then start practicing till you can bet the finger movements right. It's easy to get it into position, but lack of practice will cause the corners of the card to protrude in out of the gaps of your fingers when you complete the palm. Work on that.
When you're done and used to the movements, incorporate your hand movements. Took me a couple of days but I could do it since I was 11 years old. I have really small hands but it doesn't matter. You see, when you do a backpalm, the cards actually bend to accomodate the size of your hand. I can only do one card though. Can't do multiple backpalm and produce yet :P
Good luck!

No the whole that but at least 15 cards lol.. If you wan to back plame whole deck you have to get manipulation cards lol.. :D

wow... 15 cards... tts damn thick... back palming and producing cards one by one... i bow down to the god who does that.
Moondust - December 3, 2004 05:51 PM (GMT)

Its possible lol althought I have not mastre it yet lol.. :D

I can do a decent one with about 25 max. 15 is more of a comfortable number. It is possible to backpalm the whole deck if it is a manipulation deck. Doesn't require huge hands or god-like features (if you're going to bow to the god who can backpalm 15 cards, you'll have a lot of bows to make..), just lots of patience and practise.
