Gregory showed me this one at the Dutch Magic Convention in may 2002. Grip a card between the index and the thumb at about the middle of the long side. Then you flick with your middle finger the card strait up or a bit with an angle to boomerang the card. Extra: An alternative which …

MARTIN LEWIS SPINNER #10
This shot is probably based on Paul le Paul’s “Rapid one hand deal” but this one is performed by the index finger and not with the thumb.This is the technique: Index finger on right corner of the deck and the rest of the deck is holding it on the most right ends with the thumb …
THE FINGER FLICK #9
This is a really basic one but I added it to be complete: The index or middle finger flicks the card from the top of the deck. This can also be done without the rest of the deck, you can also grip it with the left hand and flick it with the index or middle …

LATERAL SHOT BY MARC VAN VENROOIJ #4
This shot I came up with while practicing the lateral Palm. If you have the card in lateral palm you bent the left corner of the card inwards with the middle finger which contacts the thumb. The thumb and the middle finger flicks the card with a circle motion and shoots it forward. This can …
TABLE SHOT #3
A variation for shooting a card is from the side of a table. Get a card in lateral palm and hold the card with the thumb against the side of the table. By pressing on the card and pushing the card outward the card propels away. You can use this method for faking a shot …
