In my opinion the best palming video out there.
You instantly see that Bob White has spend his
whole life on optimizing the palming of cards and the good point is that he als explains it very
good and clear.

This is hands down the greatest video resource for card palming. I would recommend this to any
magician of any skill level looking for a system of palming.

Fantastic DVD if you are new to palming. Covers many palms, which are demonstrated flawlessly.
Explanations with views from the front and from over the shoulder. Also very valuable advice at the
end on managing your actions after palming the cards. Only minor criticism is that sometimes the
explanations are a bit brief, especially for someone new to palming.

Palming is not an easy move, but if you want to see a serious reference on the major palming
techniques and how they should be performed, this is the video to watch.
Bob White teaches with
great knowledge and clears up a lot of details and nuances. For every move, camera catches front and
back of the hands.
Be warned: palming will still remain a demanding move, but here you'll find
ALL the infos you'll need about it.
And... no, it's not an entertaining video with an
appreciative audience, great soundtracks and the likes -- it's school. The highest grade of magic
school

Bob White was a palming expert. I would pay full price just to have video of him executing the
palms with no explanation. Just to see how they’re supposed to look... how they CAN look.
Full disclosure: I edited this video for production. In doing so, I watched it at least 10
times in total (in pieces). I tried to make sure to change camera views to focus on what he was
talking about as well as what I knew he found important.
As someone who never really had
a need or interest in palming, I can tell you - if you watch it 10 times (cards in hands), without
much experience, you will become an expert at card palming (as long as you practice!). You will
find other people that have interesting palms. Or that palm cards in other ways that weren’t
covered. But if you master this material (or even half of it), you’ll be able to have a discussion
of palming with anyone at any level.

OK, three stars. Not the best review. So what is up? First, if you are new to palming, then this
is a 5-star video. It goes over a wide variety of palms, and you get a good overview of what many
palms look like. However, I have been performing magic for years, and I was hoping for more in
depth treatment to add to my currently existing knowledge. So, for me personally, the video was not
as useful. In other words, if you are decently well-read and are reasonably experienced in palming,
there is very little "new" here. There are some good "nuggets" sprinkled throughout, and Mr. White
demonstrates the palms EXPERTLY. But, for me personally, I am a little beyond what was offered
here. That is not to say there was nothing to be learned. But I just did not get as much out of
the video as I had hoped.

I came to this video new to palming. The actual palming itself is not knuckle busting, what's
difficult is covering the action with other behavior like squaring the deck. This action is thrown
away with "as you square the deck..." and not given the attention needed to incorporate the two into
one. Otherwise, I'm glad I purchased this, and if you're a beginner as I am, will be glad you did
and will give you a solid foundation in palming.
I am so happy with this purchase. I have learned lots of different ways to palm cards and was able
to pick 3 or 4 techniques that work for me. It is nice to have so many options. I like that Bob goes
over how to act natural once a card is palmed, he also has a bunch of great tips that really help in
all areas. Great purchase and I am happy I spent the money on this. Thanks Bob!
Always admired Bob White's work.This is very good on basics but I was disappointed he didn't
actually teach Cards Up the Sleeve, just performs it.
