5. A BACK HAND PASS

Several of the passes already explained with coins are applicable to watches. The tourniquet is specially useful with watches, as with any other small objects. The pass I am about to describe is an application of the tourniquet to the back palm.

Stand with your left side to the front and hold the watch flat on the first joints of the fingers of the right hand, the ring pointing outwards and the sides of the watch against the sides of the first and fourth fingers, the thumb resting on the upper side of the watch. Bring the left hand over to the right hand to grasp the watch, the back of the hand to the front. Pass the left thumb under the right thumb and apparently close the hand on the watch (Fig. 11). In reality, as soon as the watch is hidden by the left fingers make it pivot to the back of the right fingers in exactly the same way as with a coin (Fig. 12). Move the left hand away, closed and the fingers rubbing against the palm as usual, and drop the right hand to the side. Let it pass momentarily out of sight behind the hip, at once reversing the watch to the front of the fingers and transferring it to the regular palm.

Then bring the hand up, as you turn to the left and point to the left fist with the extended forefinger.
