So I just got Royal Road to Card Magic, the best 4 pounds I have spent in years, and I was wondering if the neatness of the overhand shuffle comes with practice or if there is a technique to it. When I place the cards down back into my palm some of the cards come back up in a spread making it messy. Same goes with the shuffle length ways in my hand, cards are all over the place. Am I doing the grip wrong? I can't get my thumb relaxed and in the centre of the card and my pinky doesn't feeel relaxed on the out edge of the pack. My index is curled at the second joint just as it is in the book so I'm assuming it is just practice but I want to be sure.
Thanks in advance, Adam.
