Thanks Goldfish

I've never quite been able to get this one to work for me despite practice. It's also on Oz Pearlman's Born to perform card magic but I just couldn't get the hand until now.

Yours was the easiest explanation I've seen - thanks!

It is on Born To Perform but it's not quite the same there...I think there's an extra revolution in the original version.

N.B. One other thing that helped me is the placement of the middle finger...I had it in the middle of the card, but it should have just been on the bottom edge...

When you say you can't make the card rotate, do you mean that you can't slide the card out of the pack or you can't flick it to make it spin out? A little more information will help :) . Where are you learning the move from?

All the best,

Good news :) . Why not post a video on the Hot Shot thread in Filesharing? It would be great to see you in action :)

All the best,
