Card trick

[vinnyj]

what is the card trick called where you throw the pack from one hand to the other so they appear to fly/glide through the air one by one, you see magicians doing it.

Depends on who's doing this trick but i used to know this as "the Waterfall"....not that hard to do.....if you know the secret of course :>)......try visiting the website www.themagiccircle.co.uk for more info on classic tricks and magicians.

I think magicians call it "Springing Cards". BTW sft42, that link is the most unhelpful I've seen in a while.

[sft42]

Oh gee thanks...It must be have a go at me week then......and as i said when i used to do that trick i called it and so did the person who showed me it "waterfall"....If you know it as something else fine but don't decry anyone's first hand knowledge please.

Easy now. I found that searching "springing cards" came up with more useful sites than "waterfall". And the magiccircle.co.uk site is dedicated to the magic circle and their members rather than teaching you how to do the waterfall. No offence meant.

aaahh No it's me who should be apologising j2. I didn't really have time to check the link b4 i posted it... i foolishly just assumed the MC would be the best and your right it's naff......as for the other bit....my apologies again it seems like the world and his dog has been have ing a go at me lately see the people and places section for what i mean.....Lots of classic tricks like this have 3 or 4 names depending on where and who you learn from....

there to different (Flourishes)as this is what you call that not a trick as it isnt really a magic trick.There is a waterfall where they drop like a waterfall.and springing the cards like you have seen on tv and again likte the name they spring from hand to hand
