1. THE FAN

image

Take the deck by the ends between the right thumb at the lower end and the second and third fingers at the upper end; place it in the fork of the left thumb, the tip of the thumb resting at the middle of the back at the lower end. Press the right middle and third fingers downwards, bending the cards (Fig. 26), and move them to the right and downwards so that they describe a semicircle with the right thumb as a pivot; at the same time allow the cards to slip away from the tips of the fingers in succession. There is only one secret in making the flourish and that is—practice. First results will seem discouraging, but little by little the cards will spread further until the spreading of a perfect semicircle of cards is accomplished by a rapid sweep of the hand.
