This series is structured to build your confidence step by step. Start with the bottom palm (Volume One), move to the top palm (Volume Two), and then tackle the side steal (Volume Three). Each volume prepares you for the next, so your technique improves and your confidence grows with nothing left to chance.
Volume Two tackles the top palm, one of the strongest moves in card magic. Through 12,000 words, fifty photos, and fifteen videos, Michael breaks down multiple approaches so you can choose the version that best fits your hands and performance style.
