Suren, you have mastered the split fan. On stage you would move your right hand forward and bend your wrist back so more can see. The tendency while practicing is to produce fans upstage and look at them. When you produce fans you don't see them as they are in front of you, straight out. The fans are parallel with the stage edge. I like how your hand splits a fan and dumps cards...it looks good. Your motion is relaxed and you are not "working it". One thing Dai Vernon told me a long time ago was to produce a few and quit. I know the thing today is produce 500 cards, but Vernon said, "produce a few cards, let them know you can do it and quit". I follow his advice. Make it look like you are plucking cards from the air. If you look at Skilldini on Youtube at about 8:00 minutes, I do a one card vanish. The reproduction is lame, it's a long fanning card. But my point is, I do a one card vanish tight, no edges, gone on the upswing as if you throw the card up. People love that. Then a snap production. I do that as a fun trick most times. A perfect one card vanish and reproduction is very strong. Never repeat it. Later on the youtube video I get some cards and do some splits and singles, which I do lazily, but that is about how many I do. The character is the thing unless you want to win magic contests.

That's cool. I don't know much about producing cards or stage manipulation except back palms (Which I haven't practiced). Can anybody tell me where I can find the technique for this?

I learned from Jeff McBride's Art of Card Manipulation.
