Modified Top Shot
/1 Comment/in Card Shooting, Sleight of Hand, Flourishes, Production Advanced /by AsadDescription
The Top Shot by Lennart Green is one of my favorite moves with a pack of cards. This is a modified handling that allows you to do the shot with just a minor change in the grip that you use.

One Handed Pop Out Move
/2 Comments/in Sleight of Hand, Production Advanced /by AsadDescription
This is an incredibly visual pop out method for producing a card from the deck. It is a technically difficult move to pull off, but well worth the practice.

This is an interesting move that allows you to take two cards, and make them appear as if they are any number of cards that you want. It is one of the more advanced false counting techniques, but there are many great applications for it within the context of various packet tricks.

Close-up Card Vanish
/6 Comments/in Tricks/Effects, Other, Sleight of Hand, Palming Advanced /by marcin.pawlikiewiczDescription
In this tutorial I’ll cover a card vanishing technique that is ideal for close up scenarious. Most backpalming is typically done in a stage setting with your arm outstretched to your side, but this variation allows you to perform the vanish for someone directly in front of you. It also makes use of your second hand for cover so you can do the vanish slowly and with less risk of flashing when done at the proper angle.

I first saw Bill Malone do this in one of his On The Loose DVD’s. I’m sure it’s much older than that but I’m not exactly sure where else it has been published. Let me know if the comments if you have any more info on this method.

Backpalm Card Vanish
/3 Comments/in Tricks/Effects, Sleight of Hand, Production, Impromptu, Palming Advanced /by AsadDescription
I first got intrigued with magic and playing cards after seeing a friend do some back palm card vanishes back in 8th grade. To this day this is one of my favorite things to do with a card. When done properly it should look like you just throw the card in the air and it just vanishes. A few seconds later you reach out and pluck it out of thin air. This is the wonderful art of card manipulation.
