The Glide or Easy Change Poker Card TrickThe Glide is an impressive trick yet Shadow makes it look easy in his tutorial video. The trick is described in detail in The Royal Road To Card Magic by Jean Hugard and Frederick Braue. The Glide is described in detail on pages 53 and 54 of the book. Here are some of the instructions. "1. Hold a pack of cards face downwards in the left hand--the thumb at one side, the fingers at the other--its outer side pressing against the middle phalanx of the index finger, near the outer left corner, and the first (innermost) phalanz of the little finger. Rest the tip of the ring finger lightly against the middle of the face card. The third (outermost) phalanges of the index and middle fingers are bent inwards but take no part in the action to follow. 2. Press backwards with the tip of the ring finger, forcing the face card back about an inch and making it protrude beyond the inner end of the deck. 3. Bring the right hand palm upwards over to the deck, press its middle finger tip against the outer end of the second lower most card, which is now exposed, and draw this card outwards about an inch; then seize and remove it with the aid of the thumb. Finally move the left little finger backwards and with it press the protruding cards flush with the deck." [53-54] Notice that some of the instructions are not as important as others. For example, Shadow uses the index finger, not the middle finger of the right hand to take the card from the deck in the left hand. Shadow does the trick flawlessly in his own style. It is fun to see it both in real time and slower in the tutorial section. |
