T.G. Murphy Deck Flip Half-Pass

[strudles]

I use the T.G. Murphy deck flip a lot, and I sometimes manage to get the top card to flip itself onto the bottom. I would like to know if any of you guys know how to do this intentionally so I could turn it into a half-pass...ish...thing. I doubt it will be very useful (I do have an all backs routine in mind, however).

Thanks,
Peter

It seems to be just a matter of getting a bit of air under the top card. So, a simple and repeatable way of doing this would be to push the card off slightly, about the width of the border. Then it's just practice!

I figured it out. It's really cool actually, I'm thinking of using this for a CAAN, or a visual change from double backs to double faces or something. All you have to do is get a deep (but light) pinky break under any number of cards (it seems that 3-5 cards is easiest to do consistently, half-passing entire packets will take practice). Perform the deck flip to make the deck rotate a full 360 degrees (not just 180), and it just works itself. I got this on my first try, and I'm surprised how simple it was. Getting it not to show a little peek of the face-down cards is another thing, however.
