Hi all,
I have a question about the Bottom Deal using the Master Grip as explained in Marlo's Seconds, Centres and Bottoms, which I have just begun to read and try to learn. I have noticed that the top left hand corner of the bottom card flashes at the top of the deck as the card rotates in my palm. I shall try to be clearer without giving too much away: my right hand middle finger pulls down (or inwards towards my body) on the bottom card to release it from the deck. When I do this the bottom card topleft corner flashes. Should I simply rely on the addage that one movement hides another movement by increasing the tempo of the deal of is there another way to avoid this. Please note that I am relatively new to this and apologies in advance if I have missed something in the text that is glaringly obvious. Cheers |

Chappers,
When I deal from a Masters grip, I find that the removal of the bottom card is masked by two aspects of the deal: First, my left forefinger nearly completely covers the entire outer right corner of the deck. Naturally, this covers a lot of the movement near the corner. Second, during the take, my right forefinger provides additional cover as the right middle finger strikes the bottom card. Between these two actions, there is no visible flash of the bottom card at the outer right corner. I hope this helps.

I'm guessing that most of the outter end of the deck is not in contact with the side of your left forefinger. Try lowering the outter end of the deck until the outter edge of the bottom card touches the side of your left forefinger. This may also help with the sound.
Best of luck, Andru

This happens to me all the time. I'm thinking about switching back to erdnase grip.
