Help with Molecule 4 False Please

[copperfield 14]

I cant seem to get the part when you spin the packet of cards with your thumb and middle finger.

 

[krukev]

You mean right in the beginning, well of course it's a matter of practise as it is with most things in the trilogy, but the only hint I can give you is don't put too much pressure on the cards with the thumb and middle finger and of course begin slow.

 

[remy]

break off like a 15 card packet, and it's much easier to do. i had trouble at that part too once

 

[Loz]

Don't give up and keep practicing, that's all you can say really.

 

[Aris.SA]

well Ihad that problem too, I think that if u push down but a little bit the left handed packet just a little bit, it will help the other packet to spin.. hope this helps..

Yes I finally got it and all I did was practice it for like 2 hours. By the way that was my only problem, i all ready doing ny pretty good.

Peace....

Also, just to mention; when you practice this bit, also try to remember that it is the weight of the bigger block falling onto that particular packet, which causes it to have that 180° spin. It is not necessarily the right hand turning face-up, but rather the natural falling of the bigger block. On the other hand, however, feel free to use the right hand index finger to briefly tap it; meaning you give it a nice kick-start. From there, it's just going to naturally happen.

Good luck with your Molecule Four,
Jordan

another thing that i find helpful is taking about 7-10 cards out of the deck before i start to learn a new flourish...it makes the packets smaller and easier to handle!

PS for molecule, a great tip is to do the moves a set at a time....for 4 days, only do the first spin on the middle and thumb, then the next 4 do the grab and shift down of the next packet...so on...and so forth.......!

 

[Creeper]

I'm having a little trouble this flourish too. I can't seem to get the part where you swing the bottom packet off you hand[base of the thumb] Its never in position. The bottom packet is always on the other side of my hand. Any tips?

But how do the buck do it without even touching the packet. You can see it in the link below. I think it's at the beginning.

Don't worry man, they do touch the packet.. Have fun practicing Molecule Four, it's a beautiful flourish!

Take care,

I picked up Rev E in a day, but this rotation still kills me I just can't get it smooth

/me goes back to practicing aka crying in the corner.

 

[The Royal JRA]

jordan is right they do touch it with thier index finger it is just so fast and breif once you start doing it yourself watch the vid again cuz you will know exactly when it happens

 

[tashfiq1993]

i had the same problem... what u want to do is not use too much of your fingers, use only slightly past the finger tips.
