5. SECRET TRANSFERS FROM ONE HAND TO THE OTHER
The Horizontal Change Over Palm
Stand with the right side to the front, the left hand open with its palm outwards, the fingers pointing to the left; the right hand has the ball palmed in the regular palm and the tips of its fingers touch the left wrist (Fig. 10). Swing round to the right to bring the hands to a similar position on the right, with the palm of the right hand to the front (Fig. 11); when the tips of the fingers of both hands meet in front of the body, relax the pressure of the right palm and grip the ball in the left palm. At the completion of the movement the spectators see the palm of the right hand and the back of the left, so that both sides of each hand have been shown in turn. This change over sleight is a very easy one and therein lies its danger. Many performers abuse it by overdoing it.
The Vertical Change Over Palm
Take the same position of the body and the left hand; but hold the right hand, with the ball in the regular palm, with the back of the hand to the front and the fingers pointing upwards (Fig. 12). Pass the right hand, with the fingers spread apart, against the palm of the left hand from the top to the bottom; then reverse the left hand and make the same movement against its back. Turn the left hand, bringing its palm against the ball, grip it there and reverse the hand, at the same time turn the right-hand palm outwards (Fig. 13). Both sides of the two hands have thus been shown in succession.
To return the ball to the right hand, turn the hand bringing its back to the front; reverse the left hand, bringing the ball with the right fingers.
