THE SLEIGHTS
1. THE FINGER PALM
The ball is held at the base of the little finger by bending the finger slightly (Fig. 3). To place the ball in this position, hold it between the first joint of the thumb and the second joint of the forefinger, the palm of the hand to the front, the arm extended at about the height of the shoulder (Fig. 4).
In turning the hand palm downwards roll the ball with the thumb over the first three fingers to the base of the little finger and bend that finger to retain the ball, immediately replacing the thumb in its original position. When executed perfectly the sleight becomes one movement only and is done in a flash, but no attempt at speed should be made at the outset. The old adage “Make haste slowly” applies with particular force to all sleights. To produce the ball from this palm you have simply to reverse the movements of the thumb and the fingers.
