I freaking love shuffle work. I don't think I can ever get bored of practicing false shuffles.

I understand where you're coming from. It really is a shame what's happening.

since when was that a secret? Isn't this a core fundamental of what magic is?

Ideally, the grip only changes to awkward when the shaking of the hand begins. You should clip and shift all in the shaking motion, and that gets rid of the window flashes and the awkward grip. When done properly, before and after the move, the deck is held in a biddle grip.

You sir, are full of win.

There is no one, and will probably never be anyone who contributed as much as Erdnase did to card technique. Try and find gambling techniques prior to Erdnase that are as well described and as practical as his techniques. A large majority of the techniques in his book are still used today...

A very merry unbirthday to you.

EDIT: Nevermind. Great pass, the work's definitely paid off.

If you almost always get caught, I don't think that you can call yourself "good". If you were sleeving well, you wouldn't get caught. Sleeving is one of the most useful concepts in conjuring, assuming you can get rid of audience preconceptions about it, or frame your presentational style so...

hahaha. Loving how there's more than 53 posts in this thread. Queen of Diamonds.
