THE PUSH
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A broom handle or similar object is held
|
|||
|
|
parallel to the floor. Two or even more
|
|||
|
|
men grasp it palms up. Drop a piece of
|
|||
|
|
paper onto the floor and instruct the
|
|||
|
|
men to touch the end of the broom handle
|
|||
|
|
to the paper. Of course they do this
|
|||
|
|
effortlessly.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Then challenge them.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
State that with only two fingers you can
|
|||
|
|
prevent them from doing that again.
|
|||
|
|
After they laugh and accept your
|
|||
|
|
challenge, place two fingers just inside
|
|||
|
|
the hand closest to the end intended to
|
|||
|
|
touch the paper. When they attempt to
|
|||
|
|
touch the paper, they will instead find
|
|||
|
|
themselves moving across the room. The
|
|||
|
|
secret? Instead of pushing up as
|
|||
|
|
everyone will expect. you push forward,
|
|||
|
|
redirecting their force. Practice a few
|
|||
|
|
times at home first.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|

|
|
|
|||

|
Variation: Challenge a person as
|
|||
|
|
follows. Have your victim take a broom
|
|||
|
|
handle or similar object and hold it in
|
|||
|
|
front of them, parallel with their own
|
|||
|
|
body, handle end pointed downward. Tell
|
|||
|
|
them to grip it with both hands and push
|
|||
|
|
it to the floor. Again, this is done
|
|||
|
|
effortlessly. Now tell them that you
|
|||
|
|
can stop them from doing this with only
|
|||
|
|
two fingers. Explain to them that they
|
|||
|
|
cannot jerk the broom or use any quick
|
|||
|
|
motion. Just a steady pressure.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When they accept the challenge, just
|
|||
|
|
place your two fingers near the bottom
|
|||
|
|
of the handle, closest to the floor and
|
|||
|
|
when they begin to push down, YOU push
|
|||
|
|
to the side, once again re-directing
|
|||
|
|
their force. The handle goes everywhere
|
|||
|
|
but down.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Another great one: Pick the largest
|
|||
|
|
person in the room for this one. Hold a
|
|||
|
|
broom handle in your hands, parallel to
|
|||
|
|
the floor at about chest height. Grip
|
|||
|
|
the handle about even with your
|
|||
|
|
shoulders. Challenge this person,
|
|||
|
|
saying that no matter how hard they push
|
|||
|
|
against the broom handle, they will not
|
|||
|
|
be able to move you backwards. Have
|
|||
|
|
them grasp the handle just on the
|
|||
|
|
outside of your hands and explain that
|
|||
|
|
they must push with a steady pressure,
|
|||
|
|
no quick motions, jerks or shoves. When
|
|||
|
|
he begins to push, you simply redirect
|
|||
|
|
the force either upwards or downwards
|
|||
|
|
depending on the height of your
|
|||
|
|
challenger. Gets them every time!
