Hello fellow theory11'nrs,
In Royal Road To Card Magic, there is a trick thaught called ''Gray's Spelling Trick'', (p.63), that im having a slight problem with. At page 64, just under the patter given for the effect, it says ''Turn half left, hold the deck in your left hand, the bottom card facing the spect...'' and what I don't seem to get is what they mean with ''Turn half left..''. It seem's to me that they are holding the deck in a specific position after that. I might be wrong and have missed an important detail, but the effect doesn't work otherwise for me, unless I deal the cards down face upwards. Again, I could have missed some really important detail, but if any of you guys could point me in the right direction that would be great. No exposure on the thread obviously.
Thanks - William
