This post comes from the wonderful and strangely alluring mind of Donald Chung. ‘Tis a finesse on the classic through the fist flourish, which is simple, but nonetheless delectable.
So I shall hand it over…
The video already explains the move in enough detail. However, I’d like to talk about the reason for the move.
In the usual Through The Fist Flourish (TTF), the cards are left in your non-dominant hand. This means the cards have to be adjusted before it can be displayed.
If you compare the move with and without the finesse, you will notice the time period for the sequence is almost the same.
However, the key point is that although they require the same time to execute, the moment of magic within has different timing.
When I say moment of magic, I mean the moment from the dispay after TTF, to the Elmsley Count.
This almost has minimal effect on the trick, but naturally this enhances the whole performance.
Details matter kids.
Play safe.
Donald
