If could somebody PM me or something with the correct technique for flicking cards off the top of the deck with the thumb, i'd be most greatful.

PS - not flicking as in dealing, i mean projectile cards.

One way of doing this can be found on Greg Wilson's Pyrotechnic Pasteboards DVD.

Don't get me started on the PP DVD - that's the one that I ordered and hasn't come yet. I am now seriously annoyed at Penguin...

garyz - I'll PM you a link...

One way i do it is to just hold the cards in a mechanics grip parrallel to the body and give a quick flick of the wrist + a push with the thumb. Be careful not to hold the deck too close to the body though or you'll end up up in casualty having a card removed from your throat, either that or you'll look daft doing a card trick. There is a bit of a knack to this method but you can get some height with it. It also works better with a newish deck.

Nice on guys. :p
