Variations for Finishing
The Spread and Turn-Over

These are different finishes for The Spread and Turn-Over, explained previously.

a. Simply drop the left arm to the side, so that the cards fall cleanly into the left hand after the turn-over.

b. In reversing the cards, instead of allowing them to fall on the arm, they drop into the right hand, which is held a little below the left elbow. To make them drop in this fashion you must turn the left forearm slightly inward at the moment that the cards are turned over. They should drop very prettily like a cascade.

c. After the cards have been turned over and lie face up on the left arm, insert your right thumb under the cards nearest the elbow, turn it upward and then press it downward, towards the left wrist, thus causing all the cards to turn over again. Finish by dropping the left arm and catching the cards in the left hand as they slide down.
