Italian false transfer

This lesson applies the Italian palm to a false transfer. The coin appears to be placed into one hand while the other retains it and continues into another action.

José Arcario demonstrates the handling and breaks down a specific detail: how the index finger guides the coin into position.

Guiding the coin

The explanation compares the role of the index finger with that of the middle finger. It is noted that placing it too low can make the arrival difficult.

José verbally corrects the name of the finger during the explanation and clarifies that the index finger does the pushing, while the middle finger accompanies it. The rest of the fingers help maintain the natural posture.

The thumb and the appearance of the hand

Upon reaching the position, the thumb maintains an orientation parallel to the fingers. This placement is linked to avoiding a posture where a finger appears to be missing.

The explanation repeats the gesture to follow the arrival and retention.

Maintaining continuity

The hand-to-hand transfer is justified by a subsequent action. The example uses rolling up sleeves, and bringing a glass closer is also mentioned as a potential motivation.

You need a coin and familiarity with the thumb-clip position or Italian palm. This lesson allows you to practice guiding the coin and coordination before integrating it into a routine.
