Invisible Touch

This document describes an illusion called the "Invisible Touch" where a performer taps the hand of one participant while telling another participant to focus on any sensations in their own hand. When asked, the untapped participant reports feeling taps in their own hand, believing the performer touched them when it was actually the other person who was tapped. The illusion relies on misdirection to make one person think they experienced a touch that actually happened to someone else.

(INVISIBLE TOUCH)

Effect:

The performer asks a participant to hold out their hand, close


their eyes, and remember anything that they feel. The performer then
taps a second participant on the palm of their hand twice. Finally,
the first participant is asked what they felt, they say that they felt
two taps on the palm of their hand.

Method:

This is based off of the second phase of Peter Turner's Midas


Touch. Begin by having the first participant hold out their hand. As
you tell them to focus on anything they feel, tap the palm of their
hand twice.

Then move on to the second participant. Say to the first participant:

"I'm not touching you right now, am I?"

Then tap the palm of the second participant's hand twice. Wait a
minute and then say to the first participant:

"But I touched your hand a moment ago, right?"

They will invariably say yes. Then ask them how many times
they were tapped. This will "prove" that they were tapped. Do not, by
any means, say when you are tapping the second participant's hand.

Recap:
- Ask to remember feelings while tapping hand
- You aren't touching them right now, but you just did a moment ago
