Is there were some magicians they our first lesson is we are going to be going over the over and shuffle.
Looks like this.
This is the most fun one of the most important things you've got to learn.
Right off the bat.
What does every magician known to do needs to learn how to shuffle.
Now a lot of you have probably seen magicians do the classic triple shuffle which looks fancy especially
that waterfall at the end.
But it's more important that you know how to do it just a simple overhead shot from the overhand shuffle
is a very very versatile.
Once you know how to do the fair overhead so that you can control the top cards the bottom the bottom
card to the top you can control whatever you're doing a shuffle get there selectors card put right back
onto the top.
So it's very important that you learn this makes you a pro. And opens up the doors for a lot of different
traps.
Now this is a pretty fairly simple shuffle to do.
That's why I want to teach it first.
So first of all you're going to hold it in.
If you're right handed it in your right hand left handed in your left hand I'm right handed something
holding it in my right hand.
Your top the top short end of the decks will have your pointer middle and green finger resting here
at the top.
Your thumb is going to be here on the bottom of the deck.
Well you're going to do as you're going to be feeding off cards into your left hand.
Now before we start doing that I want to do is take your left hand and relax it have your pinky and
your pointer finger completely relaxed.
And what I want you to do is place the cards in between your pinky and your point your finger.
This is where the cards are going to be when you feed them off as you're feeding them off.
They will get put into this position.
So at the end you are holding the deck of cards.
So as we get into this you're going to do is hold the deck in the previous position and I talked about
what we're going to do is you don't want to have it straight up in the deck.
So not like that.
That's rather than what you want is a little bit of an angle.
You doing the cards to be coming in at an angle where you're going to do is you're not pulling the cards
necessarily what you're doing is when your hand comes down remember your pinky middle fingers should
come in between those your thumb simply makes contact with the top of the deck.
Now it's not pulling what it is is it's the motion of green the deck back up that causes these cards
to fall down.
Then you just keep repeating that.
Don't worry if you don't get all of the cards in between your pinky and ring finger squared up afterward
give it another go.
At first you're going to be really messy about this I had cards all over the floor when I first started
learning this.
You don't got to worry about that in the beginning and beginning just practice taking cards off the
top of the deck simply like this slowly and then eventually start working your way up and that's serves
until eventually
you have thoroughly shuffles death.
Ideally when you're going that fast you should be pulling off about four or six cards every time you
do that.
In the beginning you're probably going to be pulling off chunks like half of the time.
Don't worry about that with time practice.
You're going to get a lot better at that.
So in our next videos we're going to be discussing how to control cards.
It's going to be very very important.
So keep practicing the overhangs somewhat a quick review over that angle.
The cards catch with you two middle fingers your pinky and point your fingers strap on again thumb makes
contact with the deck.
You don't pull down with your thumb.
You made contact.
Slide our contact slide our contact slide out slide out.
Keep doing that and no time at all you'll have the overhand shuffle down.
So go ahead and practice that.
