If the move is flashing, there are a few things you can do:
1. Change your grip on the cards. Hold the deck in the left hand with the thumb along the left side of the deck. With the right hand, reach over the top of the deck and grab it with the index finger and thumb at the extreme left corners (the tip of the left thumb should touch the tip of the right index, the tip of the right thumb should touch the base of the left thumb). Allow the rest of the right fingers should hang well over the front end of the deck. This grip will give you a lot of cover from almost all angles. 2. Make sure that you swing the lower packet inward, pivoting on the left thumb base, as you lever it over. This minimizes the dip of the left fingers and makes the reassembly tighter. 3. Rock the hands down at the wrist as you lever the lower pack, then rock them back up as you turn the pack over. This further covers the dip of the fingers at the start of the move, and then kills the view under the arch of the right hand at the end of the move. 4. I often follow the move up with an all-around square up. There should be no pause, just flow smoothly from the rocking of the hands into the square up. This has a very nice look and helps avoid "framing" the move. 5. If you need more cover than that, you can do the move while facing the spectator furthest to your left, or while you turn to address that spectator. If you apply all these to your turnover pass, it should be close to angle-proof.

I like to tip the upper packet up at about a 70-80 degree angle - almost as if you were turning the deck over end to end away from you. Then I complete the pass as usual. Looks pretty nice.

First of all, check out Draun's Midnight Shift.
Another thing you can do, while many would argue that it clouds the action a little bit, is start the initial get ready action later and just before or almost in the same action as turning over the deck. I have found though, that the turnover pass is not too hard to cover unless you are surrounded. In which case, I would look up as I accomplish the get ready action and then down as I do the turnover the deck. Good luck and hope this helps. Cody |

I use the Le Paul Turnover Pass from his book. The wrist action covers the move well.

As a good cover make sure your fingers are completely closed up (no windows) so the packet being separated from the deck won't be exposed.

Bill Malone has a neat way of accomplishing the turnover pass on his 'Bill Malone' on the loose dvds. It's as invisible as the turnover pass can get in my opinion.
