I'm going to book another session with Mr. England soon, because I am having trouble reducing finger flash.
For now I will ask for suggestion from the community. How does one reduce finger flash? Here is a 29-minute live performance of mine: https://youtu.be/lq2Rj1uf05M I used to be quite sensitive to criticism; I am much less so now; so, please do criticize my technique, presentation, and posts. It helps me to grow, and I promise to take responsibility and not to be defensive. |

I don't believe you can completely with a push out style bottom deal, but you could a lot from where you are now. How far are you loosening the card? The unlocking of the bottom card should be so little that the cards moves less than the width of the white border. It looks like you're using the Marlo Master Grip with the index on the corner; just remember that you only have to unlock/loosen the card enough to free it of that index, nothing more. See the video below, almost identical grip and no where near the finger flash. There's also the rhythm and timing to consider, along with creating the illusion of taking the top card - all of which should cover the finger flash alot.

ShaunR, that's terrific advice and just what I needed to hear. I was suspecting that decreasing the unlocking movement would decrease the finger flash. Thank you. I'll continue down that path.

Shaun, you can go for the Giobbi description in CC, in which he is describing not even a push but just a buckle of the bottom card to free it. When the buckle is stopped, the card will act like a spring to the right. I’m writing that from memory, I’m not using that technique. Maybe you should study that text too. The grip needed for that is not well suited for dry skins because the deck is essentially held by a diagonal pressure between the left index in the front side and the base of the thumb at the other end. There is a very short time (when the card leaves the deck) the deck is only held by those two points. My dry hands looses the control of the deck when I was trying to learn it.

Yes, and you can see a big bevel in the deck.
