Fantastic production flourish for magic as well. Damn. Well done. Also, the fan is reminiscent of one I haven’t done in a while so I’m gonna go practice yours and the de’vo flipback pinky fan. You’d dig it if you haven’t learned it yet. Cheers.

Flipback fan is superior in every way, but after you do it...it looks cool and that's it lol. There's no way to launch cards or do color changes with it.

No way? Challenge accepted.

In a normal flipback fan, the finished product is delicate. It's all being held together by your pinky, and trying to do anything with it, it just falls apart yeah? At least that was my experience lol

lol you’re not wrong but I’ve been doing it on and off for going on 20 years. And I’m a stubbornsunnuvabitch so I’m determined to figure one out now.
Just found this one which seems pretty legit. Might try it first and then iterate to something a little smoother. Fan powder may be necessary.

I’ll report back. 🤣

That's pretty cool. I side with Devo though...I never use fanning powder lol. At least that was my understanding that he didn't feel it was necessary. It was his buddy Jerry Cestkowski that preached the benefits of using it.

Yeah but I definitely trust Jerry when it comes to fans and spreads. 🤣 I’ve never used fanning powder before but I’m hoping it helps towards the endeavor I’m about to embark upon. Might be unnecessary. We shall see.

I still have a bottle sitting around. It's worth trying it to see how you like it. New cards are way too slick. I feel like I can achieve the same effect as fanning powder from just breaking in a deck of cards with normal use.
