So a card is selected and placed back in the deck, but secretly you push the card in at an angle with the index finger of the right hand so that the card is sticking out at an angle. Then, you use the left hand little fingers to push the card into an in-jog position so that a portion of the card is sticking out from the back side of the deck.
IMPOSSIBLY DIFFICULT! First of all, how on earth are you supposed to hold the deck with your left hand middle finger, 4th and pinky finger, but in a way that they don't obstruct the card being pushed at an angle? If those 3 fingers go flat, the deck falls out of your hand! Then, how do they get the card into that in-jog position once the right hand is done? Any useful YOUTUBE or other illustrations? I can't find any... Wahooka |

Thanks... Just to be clear, this method is called "The Diagonal Push Through" method of getting an In-Jog, apparently developed by Serenko...
There are a few other methods where you just push the card through using momentum, or press down on the deck with the left hand middle finger, forcing the card at an angle... Wahooka |

Problem I'm having now is the other cards are sliding all over the place when I push the card in... Also, when the card hits my third finger, it gets stuck,..
I appreciate the private messages, but it might help to post these publicly so people can learn...unless they are secrets. Wahooka |

Since it involves moves, and thus secrets, we do not post such in the main forums, why you are getting private messages. After you have 50 posts, you can ask such questions in the Secret Sessions forum, where it can be posted.

Wahooka ...
Good advice from photius. You will get more help on this in the Secret Sessions forum. But I can appreciate your problem in the here-and-now. All roads lead to Rome...as it were... If you don't like the in-jog, try another method. You can PM me if you still are having problems. Regards, Wulfie |
