The spectator is shown that they can manoeuvre their thumb into their palm with ease.
The magician then makes one small change, and suddenly the spectator can no-longer
move their thumb as they could before.
Performance:
Hold out your hand and place your thumb into your palm. Then let it back out again.
This should be easy to do.
Now place your fingertips onto your shoulder, or under your armpit. Now try and
move your thumb into your palm again. This time however, you will fail.
Method:
When bending the arm into these positions, its stretches the muscles attached to the
thumb. Therefore the thumb can no-longer bend as it has nothing to pull on.
