Royal Road to card Magic -Topsy Turvy Cards

Postby tarb » Jun 20th, '05, 22:04



Have just started to work my weary way through RR, and alas ive got stuck before the end of the first chapter. In the Topsy Turvy cards in the overhand shuffle 1 chapter. Its the move where you turn all the cards over except the one thats to be topsy turvy. Ive read the paragraphs and looked at the diagram and im sure im turning it the right way, but whenever i practice it in front of a mirror i cant find a way to do it and keep the topsy turvy card out of sight.

Not being able to do this, along with with my obsessive compulsive thing where i cant practice anything else new until i can do it, is really getting on my nerves now, so if anyone could PM me any tips id be eternally grateful. If my gratitude isnt enough, sexual favours are negotiable.

know the feeling lol, but wirtht he right patter, and NOT looking at the cards form yourself, there shoudl be enough misdirection fo ryou to do it anyway
if all focus is directly on the cards and you cant shift it, talk anyway, it divides there atteintion, you can also five the deck a shake, so they dont remember it much, and usually wont copy. if you spread thgouh after keeping the bottom card uncovered, you should prove to them they are all normal, but spread casually, dont say you are doing it...
