Hi everyone. I've seen threads on which double lifts are the best to perform but i haven't seen one on getting the initial break. I decided to start one as this is my (pretty much a newbie) biggest issue.
I only know of a few ways to get a break and they all seem to have drawbacks. I'll list them here (sorry if this drags on)
1. The first one i learned is just to push two cards off with the thumb as if dealing them and then pull them back and hold a break. For sure it's the easiest method but it's extremely obvious to the spectators burning your hands
2. Lifting two cards with your thumb from the back of the deck is another easy one but it's also suspicious, although less so then the previous one.
3. The pinky pull down is probably the toughest for a spectator to spot but I find it to be impossible, at least at my current level of skill. I just don't think my pinky is sensitive enough to 'feel' when I have two.
I would really love your toughts on this issue. Are there other ways? How do i make the ways I already know better? Thanks.
