Stevens Control Squaring Problems

In the Stevens Control

Could anyone let me know how I'm supposed to keep the rest of the cards from jogging, or rather are they supposed to jog too ?

I've read Vernon's More Inner Secrets and The Classic Magic of Larry Jennings.

After doing as instructed in those write ups every card below the intended jog jogs as well.

It appears the Karl Fulves Riffle Shuffle Technique part 2 has a better description, but I haven't yet ran across it.

Can anyone tell me how to fix what I might be doing wrong.

Only the one card is supposed to pivot out.

I use the method described by Vernon and experienced the same issue when I first learned it. Try applying less pressure and ensure that both halves are straight as you square them. If you square with the halves at a slight angle this can cause multiple cards to pop out.

The descriptions for the move aren't perfect so it will take some playing around to find what works for you. For example, if multiple cards keep popping out, try applying the pressure to a different spot on the deck.

Thanks! that truly helped a lot. I say now I can get the one card to jog maybe 8/10 times. I'm guessing its very easy to apply too much pressure.
