Sleight of Hand

[capotasto]

Well, as time has gone on and Scam school has shown us more and more cheats cons swindles and tricks the need for some sleight of hand skills has surfaced - and I think that's great, it adds something even more impressive to the mix. The only problem for me is that I invariably suck at sleight of hand. I've been practicing as best I can, but I'm no better at it than I was when I started. :/

I guess I must be here looking for advice, tips and tricks. Any way you people out there have found to improve your skills that you think might be worth sharing.

Specifically - if Brian stumbles on this thread I'd like to ask whether he sucked at it to begin with or it just came naturally. Then of course, if you did suck, how did you manage to improve?

I wouldn't mind learning some stuff on controlling a deck of cards. I feel so sloppy when I shuffle... Which sometimes works to my advantage, seeing as how all my friends know i can't shuffle, I can usually have cards stacked the way i want lol
