No. 5. The Elbow Catch

You spread the cards on the left arm as in No. 1, then you turn the whole line of cards over by bending the second and third fingers inward.

With a sharp upward jerk of the arm you cause the cards to slide back and downward, catching them in a bunch at the elbow by bending the forearm back quickly.

From this position you toss the pack upward by extending the forearm and jerking the arm upward. Catch the pack on the back of the hand.
