First thing, I am going to show you how to shoot cards. So, this is it. It will not take too much practice but after you get it down, you can impress lots of people.
So, the first kind way to shoot cards looks like this. Like that and like that, and you can shoot two at a time, but I will teach you that later.
And then the second one is long distance spinner. It looks like that. Well, I do not have it necessarily perfected.
For the first one, all you will have to do is you are going to first have to have your pack of cards slightly bent outwards, like that. So it is going to be bent out, like that so you have a little arch went out like that.
Now, what you are going to do is you are going to take your two fingers, these fingers right here, and you are going to place them right here on the pack, like this, and you are going to be holding it on the very tip of the pack but make sure you are holding all the cards or cards will fall off here.
So, hold it on the very tip as you can. What you are going to have to do is—a very important thing that I did not see in other videos was that mess me up a lot is that you have to have the part of your thumb sticking over the card. I mean, barely, or this trick will not work.
So once you have that, you are going to take your index finger and you are going to have to have your nail and you are going to pull down that very first card, and pull it down like that. I mean, this is going to be very fast motion, like that.
So, you are going to pull it into that hole in your thumb, just straight down, like that. Straight down, like that. And so, what you will end up once you are done is this, and you can catch it in the deck and stuff like that. But that is how I always do it.
In the second one, what we want to do is spin this like this. Now, you take the deck and with these three fingers, you are going to have to wrap it up on the deck like this. This will give you a real nice and tight grip. You will have to try and do it, kind of scooted down closest to your palm, so you probably have lots of your exterior finger hanging out. That will give you a real tight grip.
Now, what you are going to do is you are going to take the tip of your thumb right here, and you are going to start halfway in the card and you are going to push up, like that. This is all done in a quick motion. In the first time, it will kind of—just go like that, but once you got it down, what it does is this finger holds it for about a split second and it causes a lot friction and it will shoot up.
You will just have to practice that one. That one was a little bit harder than this one. That is all for the long-distance spinner.
