hi i m new to magic.. so i would like to noe how do u do a proper fanning of cards tat is nice.. thanz fer any suggestion..

First technique must be right and a new deck can fan better...

Fanning powder helps. It essentially makes fans so easy it almost requires no skill to fan.

if fanning powder is essentially what you require to fan, you almost have no skill :unsure:

i have friends who used my powdered decks who can't fan for nuts, even after i teach them how2. in that case, giving a new comer fanning powder, just makes him reliant on it.

like what mac said, get the technique right first, for that to happen, get a mentor.

Yeah some people cannot fan with powder nicely and powder makes you lazy and dependent on it. Should always use powder at bare minimal. Should be more of a better finish on the cards rather than a pack of sugared cookies. Eew. Back to the topic, start practising from some videos, or yup get a mentor/friend to get some help.

D.

I must be one of those who are overreliant on fanning powder~! :lol:
However, do the cards become less-fan-able as you fan more and more with them? Will there be a time when the cards become barely fan-able so that you would require fanning powder to revive it back to fan-able state? Other than using a new deck or a powdered deck, I can't do fans. :(

Hmmmmm....that means im lazy?Where can I get some?lol :unsure: :P

Yeah. Get the techniques down first before fanning powder. fanning powder doesn't teach you how to fan. Just makes the fan more even... Learn from some of the magicians/flourishers on how to fan. Anyway, there are websites out there that roughly teaches fanning. Yeah. Good luck.

yep as the others have said techinque comes first thought a new deck should be first.. haha anyway just use even pressure..don't do it fast..relax..if you still can't fan..i suggest you use the two hand spread or ribbon spread.. :huh:

I have forgotten which website i read this from.
it says" producing a fan is easy, but perfecting it is difficult"
get a new deck first.
use the deck only for fanning and not for cut or display
that should allow you to use the deck longer before you would need to buy fanning powder.

hi i can fan but i have problem having a nice and even fan... any tips?

Tips Get the techinque right , Practice , practice and more practice .. :D

Yeah. More practice. Even if you got the techinque right, you still need practice to make it bigger and more perfect. i still have this problem of not fanning big enough. Any tips?

You have already answered your own question.

Yeah. More practice. Even if you got the techinque right, you still need practice to make it bigger and more perfect.

but is there any method to hold or how much preassure to apply to get a even fan?

in short, there are no short cut in fanning
the only way out is practice
anyway, there are many type of fan
that should keep you busy long enough

just keep fanning, after that you will be able to gauge how much pressure, how fast...its a motor skill.

Once u get it, you will get it...

lol am i lame? :P

hey i tried waxed deck... its the best... anyone without much skill also can get a pretty nice fan.. :g: :g:

Exactly. But the thing about fanning is the skill involved. For example, if you can make a perfect fan out of any decent deck, people will know how good you are.

but after using wax deck, i get the feel how to fan better... and afteri can fan better ith a normal deck... so using wax deck deed help me fan better ;)

guys i am also practising fan although some webbies teach u how to fan.
it isn't as u learning it on your own i learnt the fan on my own but not very good

Mod's note: Your keyboard doesn't have any punctuantion keys? 10% warning.

is there any source where you can learn the different type of fan?

Yeah, try to buy learning materials, e.g. EoPCF.

The fanning section on Xtreme Beginner by Devo is real good! Covers almost all the tips for fanning....

And yes PRACTICE!!! No short cuts.... B)

if you have sweaty palm, you might want to have a hand towel beside when you are practicing fanning. you would want your hand to be a bit moist, not sweaty, not oily.

Fanning Powder works well but it will make ur cards a bit sticky feeling. So practice w/o it. Once you get hold of it, the fanning powder make it look easier to fan. There are video available on Fanning techniques, how to have a good start position and to spread evenly. Learn, practice often and you will get it eventually

May I suggest buying XB and learning from the master in there?
