basically, does anyone know how to combat this.. 'disease'? its very irritating, especially while performing, to have dry hands.. coz its harder to handle the cards.

is there a moisturising product available that will not make cards sticky or greasy after handling?

SURE TO HAVE WET HANDS AFTA. SWEATY PALMS!! :)

NO WORRIES NO DRY HANDS U CAN VEEN HAVE NO HANDS IF U WANT!

dongdong Sweaty Palms Pte. Ltd

Massage your scalp.

it'll grease ur hands a wee bit.. enough to make handling more comfortable.

and yeah dong dong, you'll probably create another tsunami with em palms :P

lol
don't talk about it
u'll see " wetter decks frm my hands than when dropped into water" :wacko:
seriously
dry hands are MUCH better than sweaty palms
i think fanning powder can help make the cards stickier? :blink:

It's quite a blessing to have dry hands when it comes to flourishing or precise sleights. :P

I'd differ. I have dry hands too and sometimes, I can't palm coins, can't even deal cards.
I've tried many methods but have not found one that's suitable. There's a lotion for dry hands made by Camriand Academy. This is a spray which works ok for me. You can try moisturizers. There's one in Watsons call "Vigasol" (I think). This is meant for women"s you know... Works not bad too.

why do you say so? when i have dry hands, i cant control cards for nuts. slips all over the place.. unless they're dry BUT dirty/sticky... which is a totally different matter i guess.

does anyone else have any other suggestions/advice?

so im the lucky guy with ok hands :) not too dry, not too wet!

Errps... ur using such lube on ur hands? :blink: :wacko:

What's wrong? If it works, nobody will know.

There is something on Ellusionist call GoldenTouch Dry Hand Solution you might wan to look up.. It is some to comabt dry hands... lol I not asking you to buy it just a reference lol.. I think you can something smiliar in Singapore just go look around lol... :D

Well, you know those little fruity candies that you can spray in your mouth? They come in all flavors, like Strawberry and Orange and Grape and all that.

Finish one of them, clean it out, and then fill it up with water. Bring it around with ya... when yo hands get a little too dry, give them a SLIGHT spray and then let it evaporate. You've just been moistinitizernaratated!

My hands are okay, but I use the spray to wash my hands on the run... eating KFC, then doing KFC, is not good for your cards. Trust me.

ok what i do is ermm spit on my hand on a regular basis without anyone looking. reaaaly helps. No Joke.

Anyone wanna borrow my deck now? :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

AHH!!!! u HANDLED MY DECK AT CASTLE!!
*walks to room..... throws away that deck...walks back*
haah joking....

B)

ive seen some ppl lick their fingers to increase their grip. i admit to it too (seldom though).

haf a cloth handy when before u start so u can dry dem any time lolx ^_^

Why not just try using moisteriser every night b4 you sleep? No, it's not a gay thing to do... there are more guys (read: David Beckham) who do care for their skin... and you should too, since you need your fingers to do your work for you ;)

Pick up something from watsons or guardian, say it's for your mom/sis/girlfriend/cousin/niece/neighbour if you're really shy :lol:

This way your hands are in perfect condition 24/7... wierd to just carry a bottle of lube or something with you for gigs right? :P

any particular moisturiser to recommend?

You coming for the event on Friday night? I'll pass you something first... :lol: Try that and see if it works for you... Just remind me, ok ;)

Just wondring if you used the 2 tubes of Garnier stuff I passed you last Friday... did it work? :)

ya.. use moisturiser (sp?).. there was a discussion abt this on themagiccafe.. most of them use moisturisers (again, sp?) and the even go for medicure.. or izzit pedicure.. something liddat la.. coz our hands are the stage wad rite? so muz be presentable.. hehe.. cheers..

hey all..

thanks for all the advice. and thx to ning for the great garnier moisturiser..

now i realise, if they really are too smooth, simply keep snapping your middle finger and thumb and they'll be kinda roughed-up, enough for me at least.

for me i just wet my fingers (usually 1st 2nd and thumb), and then rub together till not too wet. (and yes, wetting is usually licking) :P

yes, i will stop lending u my cards from today onwards <_<

ROFL.. heres a lil piece of advice... never let Dong handle ur new pack of cards.. he'll drown it..

jokes aside... ellusionist is selling some kinda product btw.. for dry hands..
