Strike Second Trouble

[NJillusionist3]

Hi everybody, i have been working on the Strike Second Deal lately and i have been having a little problem. At any risk of exposure, I will just say when i attempt the Strike Second, I often will end up grabbing more then one card accidentally. Granted, my practice cards aren't exactly in the best condition, which i think may be some factor, but i have practiced with cards very new and have experienced the same problem. If any one knows any thing i could possibly be doing wrong, please let me know, on this thread or by private message it makes no difference. If i am simply just not good at the move and need more practice, you can say that in a polite way.

loosen your grip on the cards. and then get used to how it feels.

Try and concentrate on a light touch, as Ace has said. Once you get that sort of touch into muscle memory, I think you'll be fine. If you're not doing it very slowly already, try doing it slower, that might help as well. But overall it sounds like you just need to get used to the sleight. Chances are you're doing very well so don't worry about it too much ^^
