Ah, now that you mention it, that's a great idea. For the longest time I'd always unconsciously kick my hand up...looked real sketchy. Great tip for beginners out there...this move's a cool one.

...... I was having the problem where the top and/or bottom cards would fly off, and then I found some thread where TG himself explained how to fix the problem ....
Here is a link to that post explaining how to solve the cards flying off issue by TG Murphy: http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewtopic.php?topic=221167&forum=73
@ Nate - Haha, Yeah, I used it as a card reveal once or twice at first two. It would shoot off the card, I'd catch it, and it would look like I threw the cards in the air and make a person's selected card shoot out. I could only make it consistent like 40% of the time or something, so I didn't use it a lot, but it worked once or twice like I said. It's good to know how to do it right though anyways
oh snap your right. ether way I cant do it. thanksa "pop shove it kickflip" is called a varial kickflip
I've been doing the deck flip non stop for the past week and I've got it every time.
To any of the readers/posters out there who are having a hard time with this one... I promise, just keep at it and you will get it. I tried it a few times here and there for a while, but never felt consistent with it. One day I just decided to figure the damn thing out. Here is a list of things to evolve over time to improve the effects consistency & flow:
1.) Find you own subtle positions for your fingers on the cards! For me, the thumb played a HUGE role in this. I have a set position for it that it actually different from the way a lot of people do it that I've seen in videos.
2.) Make sure to "pop" rather than "scrape." These words should trigger something in your head if you are having problems with the cards flying out.
3.) Just sit there any practice it for a while on a Sunday or something so you can just relax and figure out all the little details.
4.) Believe in yourself and you can do anything. That's what my mom tells me. I haven't gotten that job as an astronaut yet though, maybe next year.
(Btw, I am hoping this isn't exposure. I still recommend that people buy The Trilogy to learn this, because that tutorial was extremely helpful.)
