Tenkai palm

Okay kiddo, so there is this thing called the Tenkai palm, and it's a really cool magic trick that some people can do.

Imagine you're holding a coin in your hand, and you close your fingers around it. Now, if you use the Tenkai palm, you can make the coin disappear - whoosh! - right out of your hand, without anyone seeing how you did it.

Here's how it works: you start by holding the coin tightly in your hand, making sure nobody can see it. Then, using your fingers, you grip the coin and move it to the base of your hand. This is called the palming position. Next, you slowly open up your hand, spreading your fingers apart. But what people don't see is that the coin is actually not in your hand anymore - it's hidden in the base of your hand, thanks to the Tenkai palm.

Now, the really cool part comes when you want to make the coin reappear. You simply close your fingers together again, but this time you move the coin back up into your fingers, and then reveal it to your audience. Ta-da!

So kiddo, that's how the Tenkai palm works. It's a magic trick that can make things disappear and reappear, and it's a popular move among magicians all over the world. But remember, it's just for fun and you should always use magic tricks responsibly and safely.
