Daryl’s Hot Shot Cut is probably the most beautiful card shooting move there is. Many people are asking me to learn them this move. This move can really be used to perform magic. David Blain used it on his first tape “street magic” and the shot is completely explained by Daryl on the encyclopedia of …

AUDLEY WALSH’S SIDE SPINNER #14
I never managed to master this one either but to be complete: Found on page 126, in The Tarbell course in magic vol. 4. See picture for instructions.
2 CARDS AS ONE #13
First a double lift and take the cards as one in the right hand on the fingers. Ring finger on the top right corner, thumb on the bottom right corner index finger bends the cards downward let the cards shoot from the thumb to shoot it to the left hand (or from the ring finger …
FLICK OVER CARD + EXTRA #12
Cards jumps from right to left hand package and from left to right. (as seen on David Blaine Video Street Magic and even better on his “Showman” tape). Take cards in left hand and do similar to a snap double lift (Larry Jennings). i.e. the top card is buckled (curved) and you put your index …

POP UP CARDS #6
This shot look nice if you can keep shooting. This one is really hard to get it right. Juliana Chen has a similar effect in her show and I think it is almost the same technique. The shot is called Pop-up cards (favourite by Audley Walsh) and I found it on page 123-124 in The …
