Manipulating the Human Mind

Keith Barry is doing "Brain Magic" ...
just take a look at his performance!

His first warm-up trick on Manipulating the Human Mind is so simply that I needed some time to figure it out.
He took for a second HIS hands APART expainig how the fingers should be ... and when he put them BACK together, they were NOT in the same position. This is why turning them they were in a DIFFERENT position than the hands of anybody else from the audience.


Here is a snapshot of this moment when he took them apart. (he was meanwhile "expaining" something about the fingers. his explanations did "the brain manipulation" - the attention was focus on something else NOT on the important fact that he was taking them APART and putting them back in a different position)
Forgott 2 tell u ...
If you try to do the trick by yourself ... you will find out that I did not tell you WHAT he really did. WHAT means DIFFERENT position? I tried ... it was not simple. With try and error ... it is hard to manage. It is simple to find out, if you START from the END. Get the hands in the final position, turn them around and ... apart. Now you know HOW they must be in order to make the trick. Forgott 2 tell u ... that if your hands are so felxible ... it is enough to TURN the LEFT HAND by 360 degree (so that NOBODY is taking note of this movement) and putting them together ... will do this trick.
