THE CONTINUOUS PRODUCTION OF FANS OF CARDS AT THE FINGER-TIPS
The writer recommends that the instructions be followed with the cards in hand, for it is absolutely necessary that the mechanics of the sleight be thoroughly understood if it is expected to work this spectacular sleight successfully.
The first reading of the instructions for performing this little known and wonderfully effective sleight may cause the reader to think it is very difficult. But a reasonable amount of practise should enable the reader to master the mechanics of the moves. From then on it should be plain sailing
, and a short time only until the required skill is attained to perform it smoothly. The reader will then have at his command one of the most beautiful sleights known to manipulators, and something that every performer is not using.
These instructions, which are described exactly as used by the writer, enable the manipulator to produce five fans of cards, one after another. It is preceded by a series of productions of fans of cards from the body, behind the knee, elbow, etc. After the last production the cards are replaced on top of the deck which is squared up between the hands, during which process about twelve cards are bottom palmed in the left hand which immediately grasps the pack by the sides; thumb on the left and fingers on the left and fingers on the right sides of deck, back of hand held slanting to audience. (The writer uses the first method of bottom palming explained in The Expert at the Card Table
, by Erdnase.) A quarter-turn is now made to the right at the same time taking pack in right hand and throwing it in a hat resting on a chair on that side. That—is what you apparently do; actually, as the right hand grasps the deck by the second, third and fourth fingers at the top end, first finger curled on top of pack; the right thumb separates about fifteen cards from the rest of deck and the right fingers slide down and clip the lower corners of the cards as in Fig. 1A and back-palms them. The deck, which is held in front of right hand, together with the turn to the right completely masking the operation. Use No. 0 thin plaid-back Steamboat Cards
that have been broke in
enough to take the stiffness out of them, but not old cards as they will not fan properly. As the cards are back-palmed in the right, the hand is turned so as to bring palm of hand to audience, and the remainder of the deck in the left hand is taken between finger-tips and thumb of right. Fig. 1B. Which action helps to conceal the cards on back of hand, and the pack is dropped in
