one handed riffle

Postby chryles » Apr 30th, '07, 16:28



i love this flourish, its beautiful.
i can seperate the packets fine, i can do the cascade fine, i have trouble getting the cards to interlace though. in card college (vol.2 p.405) it says increase and relax the pressure but that doesn't seem to help a great deal. anyone got any ideas.
thanks for any help.

There's a free tutorial at www.virtualmagicshow.com/stuff if that would help.

Basically, the weave happens at the _release_ of pressure, and it's very much a 'feel' thing. It may sound a bit Zen, but don't try too hard; relax as you do the shuffle and things will fall into place.

Be the cards :)

Take care, Ian

Thanks Ian that's great!
2 things on your tutorial that have helped, index finger position and thumb pressure. Feels much smoother and easier now :D

I am the cards I am the cards Iam the cards
