What do you think is a better position for the left first finger when executing the SWE Shift? Some say, like Kenner, that it should rest between the nail and the first knuckle. Personally, I prefer resting it between the first and second knuckle of the first finger, it gives you more control.
Any tips?

I rarely flourish at all. And do not know the clipshift(although i want to get Surfaced this xmas). I usually perform in casual settings, and/or walkaround occasionally. For some i am really drawn to the technical aspects of card magic especially if it helps create something visual. THats why i am really interested in the clipshift.
Do you own surfaced? Is it worth getting?
Retype: I beleive that it is, again, a matter of personal preference. I just tried your finger placement and found myself incapeable(sp?) of performing the sleight. As far as tips, I've founs that a small amount of pressure with the thumb of the righ hand( to the underside of the bottom long edge of the packet after the shift helps to lever the packet back to a horizontal position.
The left finger is simply curled in further so that the second phalange is in contact with the underneath of the deck. This will give you nearly double the amount of upward pressure, whilst having far more control over the lower packet.
In the 1on1, Kenner says there is a point in the shift where the bottom packet is a "loose object" that's floating. By placing the left first finger in the position I described earlier, I have found the "loose object" time no longer a problem. I hope that's clear.
Take a close look at the SWE diagrams in Erdnase and look closely at the position his left first finger is in.

What dvd's dealing with gambling sleights do you recommend? I've been into magic for 8 months now and i've just started to get interested in gambling sleights. I've already learned second and bottom deals from Expert Card Technique. I need one of a considerable price (around $30). So do you have any suggestions?
