theory11 — Magic Tricks & the World's Finest Playing Cards
I'm having trouble with the actual top shot move. I get what my index and thumb are doing, but I'm having trouble with the pinky part. Any advice?
I think maybe showoff with cards teaches that move
@Longman: Your pinky moves straight down, and not to the side. It's a knacky move, but keep at it, and you'll get it down eventually!
It's not a very trustworthy source though, and not ethical at all.
@maxrob22: A good source for learning Top Shot would be Lennart Green's "Green Magic volume 1". Many people think the explanation on this tape is a bit unclear, and if you happen to be one of those people, check out Ian Kendall's "Bastard Hard Moves Made Easy". He actually has Lennart's permission to teach the move, and he goes in great detail on it. Recommended.
