Magic Card Trick Flourishes

Video Transcript

Hi! I am Brandon Nowasky and on behalf of Expert Village I am going to show you some more stuff on card tricks. Right now, we are going to do some flourishes. These are the fancy things you can throw in there to make a look like you’re really good at what you are doing. First is the standard two handed a fan. All these are going to require a lot of practice to get down; this is repetition doing over and over again. But this one, what you want to do is you want to take the cards, you want to hold them, so that the bottom of the cards line up pretty much with your pinky and your thumb is held right in the middle and take your other thumb and double the cards and just slowly spread them up like that. When done quickly, it just smoothes out just like that. To close the fan with one hand bring your middle finger down and you are going to walk the cards pulling with your ring finger and pushing with your first finger and middle finger, just like that. So from this angle - get it lined up here, fan out and close. The second flourish we are going to go over real quick, the one handed fan. We are going to use half deck of cards; this is what it is going to look like, just like that. Now to do it, we are going to lock the cards between your first and pinky finger with the middle and ring finger on the bottom, the thumb on top, so here is the grip. What you’re going to do is you are going to bring… make sure that there is lock between. You should be able to hold the cards without your thumb. Bring your thumb down to your pinky and a couple of things happen at once. First these fingers you are going to pull back and your pinky is going to release and your thumb is going to push up like this and then your first finger moves out of the way. I will show that to you again, start to pull down, move the pinky, push with the thumb and move the first finger out of the way, just like that. Eventually with some practice you should be able to do it with both hands. That is a couple flourishes for you.
