Paul Harris Instant Replay

[Guest]

I need tips on how to get a single card over to my left hand. It's kinda easy while holding the whole deck, because you have some support. I know it's the same way, but it feels like it's almost impossible. David Blaine did the move with ease. I heard Paul Harris took about a year doing this. When David Blaine performed this on his special I was stunned. Is there a site about Paul Harris more about his magic?

There is a yahoo group about Harris, but no website I"m aware of.

There is a "knack" to it. The only advice is to keep at it! Practice, adjust, practice, adjust....

It's not impossible. If DB can do it, so can you!

I've got a clip of this at

which should give you an idea of finger positions and the like. It's in the moves.rm file.

Aside from that, less is more. If you try too hard the card will over rotate and hit the other card on the way past. Make sure that your right fingers are all central to the card; if you are off centre the card will spin away. Sometimes it is easier to pull back with your thumb against your finger, but it's more easy to control the pressure if you press with your index finger.

Have fun with it. It's not going to come overnight...

Take care, Ian
