Glide Shot

This is an another shot I first saw performed by Flip. Hold the deck by the tips of the fingers. With the middle, ring en pinky finger, you glide the card down and under the deck. Just pull it with these fingers under the deck. When the card is clipped by the ring en pinky you get a bit of a bend in the card. With your thumb you slide the rest of the deck over the single card and stretch your fingers fast so the card shoots out of the deck.

Spread Push Shot

This version is by myself and it is very easy to do. Spread the cards (with a pressure spread flourish) and with the right hand you take half of the spread. You push with the right spread on the top card of the left spread and you push a bit to your right. The card will shoot from the top of the left spread.

Spread Pull Shot

If you spread the cards with you hands under the spread you can take half of the spread in your right hand like you let a spectator pick a card from somewhere in the middle. When you flick your ring finger towards you, the card on the bottom of the spread will shoot towards you. It's all in the flicking of the finger.

Van Venrooij Z Shot Pass Direction

Wed, 29 Aug 2007 20:57:22 +0200

"Shot Pass Direction" by van Venrooij: I have came up with a variation and a routine on the first ring finger shoot method which you can use if you are in the pass position and a way to get the eyes of the deck while executing the pass. I think this is an original so use it but credit me! Shoot the card out of the deck which is just above the selection (above the break). You shoot the card and do a pass. This is a good way to cover the pass because everybody is looking at the card which just left the deck. Get a 52 on 1 card and shoot this card and ask if their card is on it (duhh!). Execute the pass and you got the card on top. Great way for misdirection (or direction as Tommy Wonder would say!). If you are in pass position, move the thumb to the left top of the deck and when you move your right hand out of the way you shoot directly. It's the same shot as above but you do not turn you hand and you do the dragging of the card (to get it free from the thumb) under the cover of your right hand. This one is undetectable!.

Van Venrooij Z Cut Shot

Wed, 29 Aug 2007 20:54:26 +0200

Inspired by Lennart Greens Flourish Z Cut, I found a nice new method which gives me inspiration for new ideas. When you do the basic flourish Z cut, you will normally take the middle portion of the deck clipped between your ring finger and the thumb. If you start to do the Z cut, push the top portion to the left. For the shot you do not clip the card with the ring finger but flick the top card of the middle portion of the deck. Now the card shoots side wise and you can finish the flourish Z cut.
