Hello,
For me as a beginner your instructions are very good
Thanks for that and the Shop is also good.
So grettings from Luxembourg and merry christmas you all.
Your blog was really very helpful for me and I am very glad to have such a great blog to read. I was wondering that why these things were not in my mind before.
I like how the writer organized his thoughts in addition to he visual part.
I didn’t have any expectations concerning that title, but the more I was astonished. The author did a great job. I spent a few minutes reading and checking the facts. Everything is very clear and understandable. I like posts that fill in your knowledge gaps. This one is of the sort.
I was always a sega fan. Always liked sega music better. Like Ecco, Flashback, Sonic. And didnt like MIDI style on SNES. But have to agree that Populous and RnR Racing sounds a way better. Thanks for vid, it will help me to pick a game. All i had till today is namelist and no idea what to play – random pick was disappointing.
I am incredibly grateful for the impact your assistance has had on my professional trajectory.

I appreciate that Tenkai Ishida first published this back in 1938—it’s amazing how such an old technique still holds up as one of the most powerful palms today. The fact that no prerequisites are needed makes it really accessible, and I can see why the open-finger concealment would be such a game-changer for vanishes. Albert’s comment about it working in practice gives me some confidence to try it out myself.
I’ve been trying to learn the Tenkai Palm because the idea of keeping your fingers naturally open while concealing a card sounds so much cleaner than a standard palm. It’s wild that this technique dates all the way back to Tenkai Ishida’s 1938 publication and is still considered one of the most powerful moves today. I’m definitely going to grab my Bicycle deck and start practicing this tonight.
I’ve been trying to get the Tenkai Palm down, but keeping my fingers looking naturally open while holding the card is definitely proving to be an intermediate challenge.

Like Albert started to say in the comments, it really does take a lot of practice to make the vanish work smoothly.
