Pinky Count
/3 Comments/in Double Lift, Sleight of Hand Advanced /by AsadDescription
The Pinky count is a great utility moves that allows you to get a break under a number of cards with just one hand. In my opinion, this is the best get ready for a double lift and it will clean up your overall card handling. It will take practice and you will need to develop hand strength to do it well, but it is worth it.

Description
The Up the Ladder is one of my favorite tabled false shuffles. With the right speed and rhythm the shuffle looks very much like a legitimate mix of the cards. Practice making the cuts in smooth circular motions.
