The Production Of Cards At The Finger-Tips From The Ordinary Palm
My original method of producing the cards singly at the finger-tips, with the back of the hand toward the audience having met with such a great amount of success, I am pleased to
acquaint my readers with the correct method of its execution.
From the ordinary palm the cards are transferred to the finger palm, as in Figure 20.
Figure 20
The little finger now very slightly relaxes its pressure on the cards, when it will be found upon practice that one card will be released (see Fig. 21)
Figure 21
The thumb now comes down under the end of the card and pushes it up into the position depicted in Fig. 22 the back of the hand, of course, facing the audience.
Figure 22
I am usually in the habit of performing this sleight with from twenty-five to thirty ordinary cards, but three or four will be quite enough for the beginner to commence with.
