    I watched this video 3 days ago and have been trying to do it for the past few days and last night before bed I finally got the card to shoot and I caught it and it was the best feeling! I got so hyped hahahaah thank you Alex! Much love :)

    Man, I do not comment often, but this is absolute gold! There is so much in this video! The move is sick, but the fact that you explain not only how to do it, but also how to use it is so useful. And the bigger picture at the end is the icing on the cake. I started magic last year while in my late thirties, I feel I have so much to learn and wish I had started earlier, and all your videos are so helpful. I am so grateful for all the content you put out there, so an enormous thank you!

  • @brandonhallmagic6162
    @brandonhallmagic6162 Před 2 lety +2

    The one thing he’s not telling you is just how long this takes to master. No kidding. First you have to find just the right placement of the deck. It’s not exactly as he says. Second, it takes a while to get the hang of it. It takes much longer to be consistent enough to try it for specs. It takes even longer than that to catch it every time. BUT, it IS worth it. Once you see it shoot out of your own hands, like real magic, you’ll understand. Thanks for the tutorial.

  • @bethenyc766
    @bethenyc766 Před rokem

    This is the best explanation of how to do it I've seen! I Personally have really tiny hands so I struggle with my pinky so I've trained my ring finger to do it - still getting there but so much better than before I watched this video!

  • @iRvenSix
    @iRvenSix Před 2 lety +24

    Awesome tutorial!
    One thing that helped me as a very beginner: focus on the middle and ring finger while practising to pull down with the pinky...in my case these two fingers always wanted to be a part of the movement and really concentrating on them to stay away from the deck helped me
    Maybe I was able to help some of you, maybe not :D

  • @kaizze8777
    @kaizze8777 Před rokem

    What amazes me more about sleight of hand is that the sheer things you can do with a pack of cards with your hands.
    That concept coming from being a classical pianist. Artist and what not is that things you can do wit your hands is amazing.
    Some would say...magical

    Thankyou sooo much. I have been trying to lean to do a top shot for a long time--I was beginning to think it just wasn't in the cards for me (pun intended). That is because I watched the wrong videos. You, showing the proper first position, has changed everything. I can do it now. Not well, but I'm on my way. Again--thankyou.

    @JonasEngstedt Před 2 lety +1

    One thing I found out whilst practicing this, which is briefly mentioned in the video but I didn't really catchup on it. The "throw" itself is coming from the release of pressure from your thumb, not the pinky, the pinky is only there to kind of pull it out. I was practicing it the wrong way at firs trying to push the card down really hard with the pinky, but there's actually not a lot of force required from the pinky itself.
