Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• A deck of playing cards

1. Split the deck of cards evenly and hold one part of the deck in each hand longways between your thumb and middle fingers.

2. Bend your pointer finger back behind the decks in each hand and push slightly in the centers of each so that they are slightly bowed.

3. Holding the cards face down put your thumbs back to back and slowly slide them up so that the cards begin to fall onto the table. They should, one by one, fall on top of eachother.

4. Once the entire deck has fallen alight the cards and repeat as desired.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't push forward with your pointer finger too much. Only make the deck bow slightly with it. Pulling your thumb back will make the cards fall.
