Tacky Hands

[Rick_S]

I used to use Zim's Crack Creme, which gave my rather dry hands enough tack execute card and coin sleights. This product is available for an unreasonable price of $98 for 4 ounces (not gonna happen). I've tried glycerin and rose water, but it really doesn't work very well for me. I've rejected Golden, as it smells like a cheap suntan lotion and is too greasy.

I was wondering what folks use to improve their grip on cards and coins.

Thanks!

I think the solution is to move to a different country. Ever since I came to this fridge of a country my hands have become dry. In the UK's damp climate and Ireland's even damper I had no trouble. I use that O'Keefe stuff but it is a bit limited and doesn't last all day. Ten minutes if you are lucky.

Thanks to everyone for their recommendations! However, I think moving to Ireland is pretty much out of the question.

[Tarotist]

Very wise. It rains every second day there.

I recently tried "Golden Touch" which Ed Marlo apparently used to use (see the cover of "Marlo without Tears") and it's my current favorite. I've also used "Corn Huskers lotion" in the past which also worked well.

Use Picker's Grip:

It also works really well as roughing fluid.

Rezvani suggested ear wax.

Jennings also used Chamberlain's Golden Touch with success.

Has no one experience with Norm Nielsen's Manipulation Lotion?

Does Lupe' still offer this?

I've found the key to Chamberlain's is to use the tiniest bit. If you think you've done that, you probably still put too much on.

Rezvani suggested ear wax.

Note to self: Rezvani gets an elbow bump instead of a hand shake.
