- Yo what's up guys, welcome back,
thank you for joining me once again
on another Monday Tutorial.
Today is a very special tutorial
because I'm going to teach you not only
how to do a 10 kay palm, which is one of the most
used sleights in card magic but also I'm gonna teach
you different applications, so this is a basic
tutorial on how to do a 10 kay palm, 10 kay vanish
and transposition but I'm gonna throw in some
extra gems that I came up with so you can do a color
change, you can do all sorts of really really cool
things, so strap yourselves in for this tutorial
'cause it's about to get lit.
So I'm showing you a lot you can do with the 10 kay palm,
in a little intro and I'm gonna teach you some of that
so we'll start with the basics, this is how to get
into 10 kay through a 10 kay vanish and
basically it looks like this.
Looks like the card seemingly goes away and you can
pluck it back sort of out of the air,
and all that's happening and this is happening
really quick and it'll take some time to develop
the quickness, becomes a bit of a muscle memory thing,
but as I'm motioning I'm holding the card
between the index and middle finger like this,
kind of around middle, and as I go in,
my thumb is going to hold it there
and apply pressure here and that is the 10 kay palm.
And the idea when vanishing the card is that
you wanna do it in a motion that's kinda like throwing,
and the card stays here, a few tips on that is definitely
one thing I like to do is keep my thumb low, I see
a lot of people doing this where the thumb is here,
and then they go like this kinda like a disappearing
thumb at the same time and to avoid this
I basically keep my thumb here, low as I'm gesturing
this motion, and then once it goes here it's basically
there now, important as well to note that the angles
for the 10 kay palm is basically this card,
I've said this before, you've got lazers
and those lazers have to go directly to the person's eyes
and if you do that, basically even open your
fingers from a 10 kay and switch it over to a lateral
palm where your middle finger holds it here,
but basically same thing for the 10 kay palm,
your hand is blocking, your hand is shielding
so if you're gonna bring your hand down,
just bring it straight down, alright
don't turn it here, don't turn it here,
just kinda keep it straight down like this,
casually, okay so you're going to vanish again,
you can condition the eye and give 'em one,
two, three, and then it's gone,
and one of the things that really helps
is actually looking, people get misdirected by where
you look, so for instance my head is looking this way,
and so if I'm here, and then go like this kinda
people look that way too, it's just innately a misdirection,
and then you can bring your hand down,
so obviously you can't see the card,
that is the basic idea of the 10 kay palm,
uses a 10 kay vanish, so practice this,
at first let's try with the left hand, it's probably,
the left hand is probably what you guys are feeling
like right now, yeah so okay a lot harder with my left
hand, is probably what you guys are going through
right now, so here, brings it down, thumb,
right so to get that quickness it's going to
definitely take some time to make that feel more
organic, that is the 10 kay vanish, now
let's get into a bit of a production routine.
Alright guys before we move on, I just have to
say this video is sponsored by skillshare dot com,
when skillshare hit me up to partner up on an integration
of my Youtube channel, I thought it would be a completely
organic fit if we did this during a tutorial,
and the reason for that is skillshare is a platform
that basically is just tutorials for things
you want to learn, now I don't push stuff I don't
believe in, so trust me when I say it,
this is actually something that I use,
one of the most requested questions I get asked
on this channel is what editing software do I use,
whether it be my photos, or my videos,
and the answer is all of that lies within skillshare,
so it's basically like a curated Youtube
but the ads in the middle, kinda like this one
where you can learn any skill from an introductory
level to a master level and you're not jumping
around from random video to random video,
you can follow a list, you can follow specific artists.
So basically it's 10 bucks a month, you can sign up
and have access to thousands of videos teaching
anything from drawing to videography
to dance to anything you like, so recently
I came across one of my favorite skillshare channels,
this one right here, this guy takes photos
and creates these levitations with them,
so levitation photography, he's got a whole account
devoted strictly to levitation photography
which I thought was super interesting.
Now as a photographer I'm like eh, I kinda know
how to do photoshop, but then I started seeing this
pictures and I was like whoa, whole 'nother level
to levitation photography, so I hooked it up,
I signed up and the stuff that I've learned,
I'm applying right now to my photos which is
really cool, and here's where you guys come
in because the first 300 people to sign up
using the link in the description
that I left below have 2 months completely
free on the house, but only for the first 300 people.
So hurry up if you want to get in on it,
again I really recommend this platform, I think it's
a really really cool thing for people to learn,
I think the next level of learning will be Internet based
and I don't know if that's gonna be Youtube,
and I don't know if that's gonna be Skillshare
or some other website but I'm all about promoting
online learning, eventually this is gonna be our school,
this is gonna be how we learn things, and this
is gonna be how you learn things you're passionate
about, not learning things you don't care,
you can specifically go to the things that you're
passionate about and help create that passion,
help foster that passion through these videos
which I think is really really cool,
so check out Skillshare dot com, link in the description,
again the first 300 people get 2 months free
and then learn all you like, so back to the tutorial.
Alright so for the production routine,
you're gonna have a deck in your dealer's
hand like this, and you're going to have
a card like this, getting ready for that
10 kay vanish, so again middle finger,
and index holding the card like so
and all you're going to do is the same thing
but you're not going to throw it,
I mean you can if you're holding it from under,
but I kinda like to follow the motion of where the card's
going so for instance if I go in 10 kay here,
the card's going down so I want this hand to be down here
because it adds that little production
value, if I'm going up, then I'll throw up,
and if I'm throwing sideways, I'll go over here,
the card's going this way, it's being retracted,
so it kinda looks like it's appearing over here,
like it jumped over there, so what you don't
wanna do is this card is going this way, and this
just doesn't make sense, so try to stay with that
visual retention of the direction of the card,
it kinda looks like it teleports over here.
Okay, so all you're doing for this the get ready,
you're just going to push one card aside with your thumb,
and your middle finger is going to go over it,
meanwhile your ring finger is under it and all
you're gonna do for the production when you're
ready is just this, basically a twirling and straightening
out your ring finger, from here,
that's all you're doing and a good
little tip is to have the deck inclined,
you don't want to be like this,
and then produce it 'cause that doesn't really
make sense, so if the deck is inclined
it kinda looks like a card is being produced outta
nowhere, so you wanna follow that up
simultaneously, and when you get it down
quick enough you can kinda make it really
look like it travels, now keep this hand
loose, the hand with the 10 kay,
keep it loose, you can use it to even hold
this card which is kinda nice,
so if you're doing a little video thing,
you know you're here, you can hold this,
boom, now I'm still in 10 kay here,
kind of a cool visual retention that happens.
Alright so for the next one, this is
a very cool thing, I first seen this in
the Devil's Picturebook by Darren Brown
which I thought was really really cool,
basically uses two cards so you're
gonna grab two and what you're gonna do here
is you're going to palm this card right here,
doesn't have to be a good palm,
but you're gonna, so the back of the card
is palm and you see the face of the card here,
this hand is gonna rest 'cause this is the hand
that goes to your pocket, now you're here,
and in the action of looking like you're
gonna grab this card, you're going to quickly
10 kay and then pull that card out,
so all you're doing here is literally this,
okay, so you're here, kinda looks like
you go to your pocket, boom, you can produce it again,
all you're doing is the opposite, so you're grabbing
that, producing it out, looks like,
and the misdirection happens because you're seeing
the card, boom, I just can't stop doing it,
I'm looking at the camera right now,
it just looks so good, this hand comes over,
kinda like you're grabbing it and as soon as you
lose visual contact, this one gets palmed
and this one kinda like you're plucking it outta
your hand, now it's gonna take some practice
to coordinate those two so that you're not flashing
every time, use a mirror or use a camera, just a cool
little fun thing to do where cards keep being produced
out of thin air.
One thing you want to know is that don't
come in like this 'cause you're gonna flash,
so keep this hand basically this way
until you're here, and then back to palm again,
turn your wrist and remember not like this
but turn your wrist here so as you come out
you're not flashing that card.
And that is a fun little routine, now the way
I like to close this routine out is I actually put this
one into my pocket, produce this, and then I go
to grab it again, but this time,
I 10 kayed it, vanished it, so all that is basically
is it looks like you're grabbing the card,
but you're just 10 kaying it same time
in this hand covers, happens really quickly,
kinda looks like it disappeared, now from here,
there are a few things you can do, you can do
a little hand washing routine I like to do,
so if I'm in 10 kay, I'm gonna drop it into
gambler's cup which is here,
okay which is the bottom here and I do that
as I come over to show this hand, okay, so I'm here,
I drop it, I immediately turn my hand,
and I kinda, kinda like I'm washing my hands,
the cards then here, I wanna turn, palm it,
and then show this hand, and now I'm clean,
now you can produce it, you can do whatever you
want, just a cool little routine, where bam,
put this card in your pocket, gone,
show this hand, show this hand,
make it appear one more time, do whatever
you like with it, but that's a cool little routine
you can do as well.
So that was the work on the 10 kay palm
that I have, I hope you guys enjoyed that,
and I hope you guys practice and I hope I went
into detail enough for all of these little subtleties,
it will take some practice to get that fluidity down,
that rapidity, fluidity, rapidity,
syllables, one more time bam, here you grab this,
put it to your pocket for real this time,
produce it, grab it, throw it, drop it into cup,
show this hand, right, come over, palm it, so you're here,
turning your hand, you don't wanna flash that so
turn your hand, palm it, and this hand
comes up and over does the same movement and showing
this hand and then you're done, you're left clean
except not, so do take your time with it,
I hope you enjoyed it and I do hope you practice.
Let me know in the comments which of these routines
is your favorite and outro.

I hoped you enjoyed it, there's a lot of information
in this video and I really want you guys to study
that, practice it, don't take on too much, try to grab
one of these routines or maybe just the vanish and practice
that while sitting on the couch,
