I apologize if this belongs in the card magic section, I figured it might belong here also.
Anyway, I was watching over all of my tricks that I recorded today, and I noticed a lot of excess movement in my hands. Cards often move out of place and stick out at weird angles just a little bit, which makes my magic lose that nice look and feel to it. When I watch professional card trick people, I notice that they are very good at only moving their hands when necessary, and the cards always stay together.
In addition, when I fan out cards on a table, I'll get a very odd shaped arc with several cards sticking underneath each other. Professionals seem to be able to very easily fan out cards in a perfect arc and each and every one of the 52 cards visible.
I believe that that kind of clean, crisp movement is one of the main things that is lacking in my movement. Does anyone know of a way for me to improve this?
Thank you for your answers,
