Hi folks,
I'm having some trouble with the maneuver in my subject line, and I wonder if someone could help me clarify a couple of points. The move is on pp. 42-3 in my hardbound copy. 1. Just beneath the first two figures the second sentence reads,"The left pinky pushes the double card's inner right corner toward you by a *tiny* bit. I'm having trouble visualizing this. I'm guessing from the next sentence that the corner actually moves clockwise or counter-clockwise a bit, with the part of the left hand just to the right of the palm acting as a pivot point. Am I right?? I don't see how the pinky could move the card directly *toward* the magician. 2. At the end of the same paragraph we have, "This creates a ledge." I'm not sure what the word 'ledge' is referring to. Maybe the double itself is the ledge, because its outer right corner is now vertically above the rest of the deck, as in Figure 2? Even if I'm right, though, I'm unclear as to how to get into the position depicted in Figure 2. To my delight, I was able to just ignore the parts I'm confused about, pass them by, and simply place the double a bit to the right with my right hand; I found that I could then push the double further to the right, without it splitting, by following the subsequent instructions. Also in the good news department: some people may remember how much trouble I've been having learning the DL. I'm having something of a breakthrough, and want to add Jennings' sleight to add realism. (The pinky c. is working well for me all of a sudden.) Thanks as always for any help people can offer. Regards, Bob |
