The fastest shot there is!Ricky Jay mentioned this shot in his book “Cards as Weapons” on page 12 but did not fully explained it.

ONE HANDED PALM SHOT BY GREGORY WILSON #17
Gregory Wilson showed me this one at the Dutch Magic Convention in 2002. He told me that he invented it by accident while he was practicing for the one handed palm. Just like you do the one handed palm from the deck, shoot the card forward by getting some free space from the thumb. Just …

GLIDE SHOT #16
This is an another shot I first saw performed by Flip. Hold the deck by the tips of the fingers. With the middle, ring en pinky finger, you glide the card down and under the deck. Just pull it with these fingers under the deck. When the card is clipped by the ring en pinky …
