Firstly Hello to all from sunny Manchester in the UK haha!
Quick bit of background - I've always loved magic for as long as I can remember (27yo) and especially card magic due to the skill and talent involved within it.
Very recently I've decided to properly take up card magic as a hobbyist.
I have card college vol. 1 and the girlfriend has bought me vol. 2 for Christmas along with a collection of 66 stunning various decks of cards but very little ability to use them with yet ha!
One thing I'm really struggling with is the injog shuffle! I've been trying and trying and trying but I can't quite seem to grasp it just yet.
I'm struggling with smoothly injogging a card in the sense that it doesn't sit flush with the first packet for example and therefore I can't create the break when I go to grab it or as I shuffle the rest of the deck off, it is falling "sloppily" so is therefore messy and when I do grab the deck I can end up with a couple of breaks!
Are there any decent YouTube videos or tips anyone can give me on practising this shuffle to grasp it a bit easier or is simply just a case of getting smoother at overhand shuffling and carrying on until I eventually "get" it?
Many thanks in advance for any tips or help!
Cheers,
Josh
