Some tips for books?

[The_other73]

Hey T11
First of all, i'd like to thank the community for helping me out in my previous posts. For those of you wanting to know,(probably none of you are wondering ) I have purchased indecent by Wayne Houchin and the order is on it's way right now. I have a question for those of you who have books like Royal Road to Card Magic, Card College or Expert at the Card Table. Here's the situation: I recently purchased Card College vol.1-5 and have it in my hand right now trying to learn this freakin' Multiple Peek control; I'm just not getting it. So far vol.1 is going great but this is the one move right now that i'm not getting. So I was wondering for those of you who have learned from books have any special ways of visualizing the move in words? The book is great and teaches you VERY thourougly, don't get me wrong, but I just have a hard time visualizing the move. Need help really badly 'cause i want to get into books more than DVD's right now. Help would be greatly appreciated.

The best thing to do is try to fully absorb the teaching, the words, so that you can REMEMBER what it is you are doing. When you come to practicing the mechanics with cards in hand, break the steps down so that you are doing one move, or even a 'half-move' (thanks, RK!) at a time.

Work through like that 'til you can do each part well. Finally, work the parts together into one fluid action.

Hope this helps...

try to sort thought the move and find want you need to make the move happen then when you
got it all down really good reread the texts and add the finer points to make it invisible
