52Kards any tips for larger hands ( I’m 6ft 6

Just a few tips for some people after finally being able to do this three days later! 1) Don't grip the cards too hard or try to put too much power with the pinky/thumb. In fact, the grip should be relatively light (like holding a cellphone) and the flicking motion relatively smooth. (My hand was quite sore the first day from doing this incorrectly) 2) When I first began doing this, I put too much emphasis on to the top left corner with my thumb. All the power should come from the pinky flicking motion and the thumb merely being the trigger-ish thing that helps build up the force (thumb pushes down on the cards only slightly). 3) If your cards tend to fly out in clumps, try moving the card a millimeter or two to the right with your pinky in order to separate the top card from the ones underneath. However, I think this was only necessary for me with my pack of cards and will likely not have to do this after more practice.

+Here is my Name I agree . My tip is to just to use the thumb as like a stabilizer and not put to pressure on it . And let your pinky pull it .And when there is enough force the card would pop by itself

+Here is my Name Something else I found while practicing - it works better for me if I pause just for a bit before the card flips off the deck before flicking it. I suppose in front of spectators I could use that half a second as misdirection in an act.

So I kinda did it, the thing was that I shot 14 cards.

Don't give up! It's not supposed to be easy!

This felt super unnatural at first, but what I found really helpful was to just spam the shit out of it, whether they flew or just dropped, whether it was one card or 5 at a time, just go crazy, and after a few decks of shots I got it to a manageable level. Hopefully someone else finds this helpful. Thanks, Asad, for yet another great tutorial, I really like this one :)

i feel happy when i log in and i see that asad uploaded a new video

Wow after months of putting this off i decided to practice this full on and after 3 days im actually getting it down semi consistently! this card production is very fun to mess around with and it looks beyond. thanks for teaching

Bravo ! As usual, a crystal clear tutorial. You gave me the little something I was missing to performe it. Thank you so much for all those great videos.

@jimmygee5 This usually happens when you haven't moved your pinky out of the way after the flick. Try pulling your pinky down lower and more quickly. - Asad

Without question the best top shot tutorial on youtube. FANTASTIC. I've been trying this trick for two days and it was getting very frustrating until you explain the details. Finger can't be dry, muscles will begin to cramp, pack needs to be readjusted at first, the less cards the harder it gets etc. BRAVO! Thank you very much. Liking, subscribing and hitting the bell.

A tip for everyone struggling to shoot the card: you don't need to apply a lot of pressure with your pinkie.

THANK YOU, KIND SIR!!

After failing to find this tutorial, I came up with a different technique. I shoot the cards from a mechanic's grip (resting my thumb on the deck) by flicking the top card with my middle finger while applying counter pressure with the bases of my index finger and pinky. I love your tutorials!

Thank you so much for all of your tutorials! I got it within a few minutes! Now I just have to learn to catch it and perfect it :)

Asad you are the first place I ever learned the top shot from and I appreciated your detailed explanation of the mechanics

Does anyone else find his voice really relaxing?

If you're ending up with a Cardini change motion, then you are simply pulling the card down and not away. To make the card fly off the top, you need to grip the card with a slight pressure and then basically open your pinky and ring fingers rather then apply pressure downwards. The outward motion is what shoots the card, not the pressure.

That intro is just the coolest thing. Especially with the added flick of the right hand.

I'm so glad, after like 25 tries a card flew really good of the deck when I was already desperating :D tnx alot for the tutorial.

Very cool, man! And you have such a nice way to explain the process... Congrats.

I've been looking for good top shot for ages, finaly a good one. Thanks Asad.

This took me 2 or 3 days to learn, but I finally did it. Thanks!

I GOT IT! Here's the secret: cannot overstate the importance wetting the little finger (pinkie). Saliva works great, but it's a little unceremonious to LICK your pinkie in the middle of a performance. I haven't found an alternative solution in case someone else has, please let me know (private message or reply to this email). Also, there's a critical point where the top card is bowed as your pinkie pulls it off the deck, you need to release at just the right time and the card will spring out on it's own power. Like magic, heh-heh. You are a rare breed, young man, for making all of these excellent tutorials that you make, as far as I can tell, purely for helping others learn magic. Thank You!!

Some magicians actually use a small wet sponge which they keep in their pocket. Not sure if you've seen checkout clerks at your local grocer? But they have them to assist with separating plastic carry bags.

You know when you stuff the handkerchief in a thumb cover, if you buy a small one, or make your own from latex and put it on your pinkie it should work

Smashing, been wondering how Lennart does this for some time. Thanks a lot!

Finally can do this perfectly! Thanks so much!

Love your tutorials !!!!

Good stuff! Love the mat.

Thanks man fr for showing all these amazing tech..this is my go to channel to learn trick..you have a natural talent too teach.

awesome video, made it really simple to learn. Thankyou

Thank you superb detail on this tutorial !!

This is a great explanation thanks!

thanks so much!!! I can do it so well now. love your vids!!

this is the type of video i want to see! compliment

That was awesome. Really good tutorial Asad!

The middle finger is the key! It works like a trigger and in the same time is crucial to be at least half open.So focus on opening(stretching forward)the middle finger right before you pull the card down with the pinkie.Also don't forget to put a little pressure with the thumb.If you shoot more than one card,especially if you shoot half of the deck it is because you let go the thumb pressure and doing so releases not only one but many cards.Practice extending the middle finger,it comes naturally

Great tutorial.

Very good tutorial my friend respect!!!

Awesome video, the moisture tip was really effective for me btw. Just the tip of the pinky and the cards started flying.

been trying to learn this!

Great Tutorial . Thank you

amazing how you did it in slow motion; the cards looked like they were moving slower too! amazing

Thank you....... Awesome tutorial

i saw anothers tutorials of this and i coudnt do anything. i have watched this video and i got it after 10min trying. thanks you man! and i realize that the most important thing is the grip!

Thanks to you I'm able to do this with constant practice throughout 3 months.

great video, even on slow motion is outstanding. And as a bonus one the most hilarious comment sections on KZread

thanks for the tutorial ive been looking for a good tutorial on this shot for a while sam :)

I just successfully flicked it into my hand ONCE where it landed perfectly and everything, and let me tell you guys, it is the most satisfying thing ever. Keep at it. Our practice will be worth it in the end.

Tip to anyone having trouble... trying holding the deck only with the index finger and push your middle finger as close to it as possible, without it contacting the deck. Then focus on only using the pinky at that point. It's much easier to get just the ring finger out of the way than trying to adjust the positions of all your fingers at once.

Oh this helped me a lot! Thanks

Thank u for mentioning such a great permormer and sleight of hand artist such as GREEN a good amount of magicians don't know a lot about him where I live. Appreciated much man. And good top shot for reals.

thanks! extremely helpful

awesome card trick ill practice lots

You're very skilled Asad!

LoL! i learned this in the video, you said it will get hours to learn it... it is amazing thanks man.

i held on to the top card and sent the deck flying ;-;

Damn out of all professional videos this one made sense thanks 52kards

I just got this one down thanks to your video. Definitely addictive once you get the feel for it. I still need to practice catching the card though. :P

Great instructor

Thanks for that ! I have Lennart Green's Masterfile and i just love it! But your tutorial about top shot opened it me, and for 30 minute practise session i can do it. Not well yet but still.

Great video, man! I made a top shot tips and tricks video years ago. But I enjoyed this one more than my own! :P

@Lembugini Yes sir :)

Figured id comment cuz i had a reallly hard time shooting the card. I got the grip amd motion down but couldnt project the card at all! It kept getting stuck in my fingers every time! I have smaller hands so it seemed like i didnt had enough power using my pinky. BUTTTTTT it turns out that i had my pinky to far onto the card!! You just need the very tip of your pinky on the corner and grip the top of the deck real good with thumb and index. As soon as you pull down with your pinky itll shoot out nicee. Also i noticed it to be fluent when using my pinky and my ring finger at the same time. And when the deck gets abiut half full..using only the ring finger worked better. Hope this helps! Its super exciting when you finally get it!

YES, Finally did it! thanks !!

@DecksAndContests thanks, however i do it a different way to lennart. i was just trying this one out :) im getting used to lennarts now because i know kinda what it feels like my way

i saw you said thumbs up for the white mat,I would have given it a thumbs up anyway,THIS MOVE IS AWESOME!

I've been practising the whole day and I got it!

thank you thank you thank you! i saw his ted talk and i could nt figure it out. thanks again!

Good instruction.

Nice! A good explanation. :)

Finally someone who is not clickbaiting the card trick

very cool man thanks Lennart Green is a boss awesome 30 minuets of my time.

Good job, thanks

I've been doing this move poorly since I started learning. It finally occurred to me to check for this tutorial on 52Kards-- I can't believe I didn't come here first. After watching Asad's explanation, I was able to nail this move after only a couple tries. My mistakes: 1. Relying too much on the pinky. The ring finger really helps to stabilize the shot. 2. Trying to do the move too hard/too fast. It really doesn't require much strength to make it work/look good. In fact, if it's too fast, it becomes really difficult to catch the card with the other hand.

I'm getting there! Thanks Man

So I tried this....... And while I did manage to get the top card to my other hand, the rest of the cards pelted a group of people standing next to me....... SUCCESS

really cool video bro, you really show the details and how to do it, i really like your videos. Is there any kind of exercise for the pinky and the ring finger you can recommend me, those two fingers of mine are really stupid :P

You are right this is a lot of fun.. man its gonna take some more practise to catch it everytime though.. cards goin everywhere !

Saw a clip by Green last night. Amazing guy. Hilarious.

For people having trouble with the pinky flick... instead of the pinky to flick the card you use your ring finger to flick the card. It’s a bit easier that way in my opinion

Hey Asad, I think you need to mention how much pressure you need with the thumb and the 4th finger. It took around 3 days of experimenting to figure out how to do it. The position of the finger position was clear, its just the correct pressure is difficult to judge. Thanks for the video and all your tutorials none the less :)

best top shot tutorial ever

very good card tricks.I Like you video

You Are Great !!!! I Love Your Tutorials , 1 Question Though Did You Experience Problems With The Index Finger After Learning The Cardini Colour Change ?? Please Reply ASAP :)

Great,Anazing!

This is my third vid of you, happy to say that I'm now subscribed :)

thanks to learn me thiw shot card.YOU ARE THE BEST

Hi Asad, nice tutorial AGAIN! i struggled with this and the shapeshifter move. I think its because i have small hands, would you say that this could effect my attempt? Simialrly should i use bridge or poker cards?

Any tips on how to catch the cards when shooting ? I got the shooting down but catching is hard for me for some reason, same with the hotshot trick

love the music

nice tutorial i am a card thrower so i am trying to learn my self some cool ways to give my right hand a card to throw without having to move it to my left arm and this trick suits the job perfectly

thank you so much, one more card production ,

I use Working Hands lotion. A tiny amount works really well, and it's not greasy feeling.

I learned it in 15 minutes but it took me like 2 hours to catch the card and another 2 hours to somewhat perfect it. I'm pinky aches lol but I love the trick. Thank you so much.

Sir, You're gold.

that one was epic.I love your stuff. \
