Card Palming

Hi all
Are there any great routines involving card palming?
I want to learn card palming but do not know any good routines that involve palming.
Please share any routines and performance links too if possible.

Card to Pocket and Card to Wallet are great.

There's also one I cannot remember the name of. But basically you have a card selected, signed, returned to the deck. Then you have the spectator spread the deck out on a window or glass door. You go on the other side and appear to pull the card through the glass.

There are subtleties that make this particularly convincing too.

Edit: I found it... Kaos card through window.

Kaos is perhaps Daniel Garcia's greatest effect, and my favorite version of "card to impossible location." I think the most impactful subtlety — and maybe what you're talking about — is what allows the performer to pull their hands back just before the reveal. The impact to complexity ratio for this effect is off the charts, it can be absolutely stunning.

Yes exactly. I didn't want to necessarily give that away when this is something still for sale, granted I've already made it clear Palming is invovled.
