I'm very new to cardistry, and I'm trying to learn how to spring cards. I've watched several tutorial videos and have been practicing for a few days off-and-on, but I can't seem to get the hang of it. About halfway through the deck, I just can't spring the cards anymore. The videos I'm watching say that I need to release the pressure on the cards from my thumb, and that seems to go OK for about the first half of the deck.
When I get to the second half of the deck, it feels like there's not enough pressure left. The cards just get stuck in my hand. Am I meant to be applying more pressure as I spring the cards? I've tried doing that, but the cards just kind of launch out in one giant clump, rather than continuing to spring.
What am I missing?
