My Top Shot

Hey, just looking for some feedback/advice. This is after 4 weeks of practice, my biggest problem (I think) is catching the stupid card.

here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICoRtqXiYvc

Thanks in advance,

I like your Top shot after your practise. As time pass by, with dedication you put towrds it, you will catch the card every time you execute this move.

Thanks man, I'm gunna practice till I perfect it. Hopefully be able to catch the top shot in between 2 cards as a sandwich effect.

That's looking really good man, nice work. All you really need to do is practice, as everyone else has said, but I think the only thing you need to work on is timing.

Try to close your fingers around the first edge of the card that comes in, because if you grab too late, it will probably bounce off of your palm and out of your hand, but you probably already knew that.

Keep practicing!

work on speed. you don't want to see the card go by. it's more of an appearance than a catch.

looks pretty good. it takes time. its a very tough move. i had the oppertunity to learn it on my own. so i had to figure out what works the best for me.
bring your pink to the back corner more. it'll shoot the card out nice.
keep practicing. ive been workin on it for about a year now and i still dont have it perfected. but i ahve it prety well

also when i do it, i turn my left hand down a little. it helps keep the card from flying too high

What he said. ^

Bought 6 decks. I love them! I recommend buying some 2nd editions when they release.
