Metal is falling behind

It's a bit of my fault because I have some paying gigs I need to attend to.
Also I'm performing in June at the http://unknownmagiciansandclowns.com/ event.

So I've been concentrating on one aspect of Eric's teachings.
And that is Michael Ammar's wiping.
I've had a lot of trouble with the palming. My index finger tends to contract making my flat palm look like it's got a dent in it. Not very natural at all.

You can see in this picture my hand is dented while palming the coin.

 

My goal is to have the hand look very natural so I can do the swipe.

What I've done is to develop an exercise to keep the little finger 'out of the picture'.

Place your palm face down.

Now move your thumb in then out. Don't have a coin just move your thumb.

Notice that your little finger does not move in.

With your other hand lift a coin into the palm of your hand and just move your thumb in.

Betcha your little finger moved in. Mine does automatically.

Turn your hand over now and just move your thumb. 

Try to find that spot that will hold the coin but not move the little finger.

And that is the move I'm working on trying to stop.

So far I've found that I can keep my hand relatively 'normal' but I need to slightly bend my fingers.

Back to practicing and I'll post my 'show' called "Do or Die, Dori" when it's done.
Hope you enjoy it. ugh drop my coin again..... :D
