Find out what works best for you and don't bother about what works best for others!

There are many methods out there. Go for whatever feels comfortable to you! I use a variation on Jerry Cestkowski's method I made up. I feel my methods more comfortable.

Something else, could you at least try and type properly? It just makes it much easier to read if things are spelled correctly (and I know that I sometimes make mistakes, I'm not perfect :lol:) and try and use capital letters.

I cant do it the way Oz does it. The cards go everywhere lol. I just grab from the top and my thumb at the bottom and thats how I do it. I used to be super good at it but I never do it anymore because it recks the cards so much. However if you have an old deck it is fun to do if you get bored hehe.

Ilove springing the cards - hehe. I actually use it in my ambitious card routine ;) (not to show off - honest)

Personally, I do it with the thumb at the bottom and fingers at the top, and release with the thumb. Though others do it differently - it is just a matter of personal preferance if you ask me.

Love
