This isnt a card trick as far as I know, but I've always wondered how people were able to take a deck of cards in one hand, and have it fan across their body into the other hand.

Maybe this is going over my head, and ts some sort of neat trick, but its totally a hot move.

It looks to me like you squeeze the deck and have the cards burst out and shoot into your other hand, but I could be very very wrong.

I was wondering what its called and if anyone can tell me more about it (presuming its nothing fancy that I cant know).

it's a "card spring"
i say go buy Jeff McBrides - art of card manipulation

thanks

Or you can just search for a cheap book (or webpage) to find an explanation. This is one of the absolute most flourishes known- along with fans and shuffles.

OR.... buy The Art Of Card Manipulation and be tought it by one of the masters, well; and learn a shed load of other flourishes too!!

I wouldnt recommend anyone learn how to do anything for free or ''on the cheap''.

You cant beat a good quality source like Jeff Mcbride or Xtreme beginnerz for card flourishes.. I would go with the Jeff Mcbride series and learn plenty of stuff and how to do them well!!

I second the Jeff MCBride series. They are amazing!

Royal Road to Card Magic is THE book on begginning card magic and teaches that flourish (springing the cards).
