Hey guys, i bought myself By forces unseen as one of the books i will be studying this summer. I learnt claptrap, a phenomenal trick, but i cant seem to get the first card to fly off. I dont want to expose the method but can anyone help?
 
It is a knack and will take some time to get down.

1: depends on the conditions of your cards I find and the weight.
2: depends on how big your "preparation" is hehe (nothing exposed here)
3: distance of hands from the deck and the speed of the clap all have an affect on the flip.

just keep at it. there is no short cut.
