I am now magic itself, and so can you be, too. Follow my rapid descent into madness as I learn how to vanish and appear a card with no prior experience and a lot of idiot persistence.

This is based off the Jimmy Woo card trick character arc that begins with Ant-Man and ends with WandaVision.

Obviously, I have no affiliation with Marvel and Disney and the clips and movies are their property. (Read: Fair Use Act)

I give this trick a 6/10 in difficulty for simply getting down the technique. That part took me a 4-5 days. Mastery (no mistakes, no failure) feels like it'd take much longer.

Get ready for the very odd sensation of feeling like your hands are dumb.

Some general pointers:
1. It pays to rehearse the transition to and from the backpalm.

2. Try not to deathgrip the card. Especially when it's backpalmed. The more pressure the card is under, the more likely it is to shoot off your hand.

3. If you're having trouble getting the card to stay, or stay hidden, try bending the card a little (hot dog fold) before you attempt the trick.

4. Adding flourishes helps disguise messy technique for the vanish / reappearance of the card.
