Hi, as u might know i am quite new here. Glad to say that this forum is great! I was wondering if anyone would give me some advice on one of the most basic moves - overhand (injog) shuffle

Here is some thing i really need advice on:

Do you square the deck after every shuffle sequence or continue to shuffle them after injogging the card ( I saw magicians on some videos and they seemed to just continue all the way...)

if so how do u square it do u change ur left hand's grip? or jus use ur right hand?

do u tilt the outer end (the short side facing the spectator [to better conceal the break?]) upwards or it does not matter?

how do u sense the upcoming of the break and shuffle everything above the break off surely when u are not looking at the cards and conversing with the audience?

(I always try to get a little glance at it. sometimes I also end up leaving one card above the break and it seemed quite awkward when shuffling that one card off)

OR is it just a matter of practice?

Thanks!

Hey.. coem for the next outing. Show you directly is much clearer than describing it in words... B)

My overhand shuffle s*** too.. hahaz.. Got to practice it more..

Well I don't really need u to show me but it will be great nevertheless.

However at this pt I jus want to know whether u square the cards up a bit after every shuffle sequence thats all...

Thanks!

Once you get the hang of it, it should be automatically square every minute. My overhand shuffle got square up automatically.

Hey. Just a suggestion here (not a tip or advice).. From experience, getting the overhand shuffle was difficult for me when i was 'dropping' the cards from my RIGHT to my LEFT hand.. After some experimenting, i found myself dropping the cards from LEFT hand to RIGHT hand.. It was easier! After some more practice, i tried going back to my first method. Now i can do the overhand left-handed and right-handed.. Try man. Experiment!
