Spring Set Turn Over
/0 Comments/in Sleight of Hand, Other, Flourishes, Production Intermediate /by AsadDescription
Spring Set is credited to John Cornelius. Its a nifty little move that lets you flip over the top card with one hand. Done properly it should look like the card is flipping over by itself.

The One Handed Fan is a nice flourish to display the cards. It can be used to have a card selected, or to have a card returned. A lot of manipulation routines also involve one handed fans.
