I’m using a Canadian Loonie, with the classic palm I can’t get my hand to look relaxed. My fingers are stiff. Is it a practice/muscle memory thing or am I doing something wrong?
The classic palm does have its limitations. I think it is a practice thing though. I think the ultimate test is if you can have your hand down by your side and it looks like the other empty hand. If you can get it to look like that, then you're well on your way to a successful classic palm.
I have the opposite problem. My hands are very dry and sometimes the coin slips because I can't get a good grip on it due to dryness. This might sound weird, but I've heard that some pianists with sweaty hands actually put anti-perspirant on their hands. That might be worth a try. Otherwise baby powder with cornstarch works for some people too.
Very helpfull! Great coin magic videos!
Thanks, friend.

I have sweaty hands and sometimes the classic palm coin slips out of my hand....
Do you have any tips regarding it?

I see some old show posters, Dial M for Murder and Misanthrope were from my time under your instruction.
Totally! I've been keeping all of the posters. I'm running out of wall space. Help!
