    The card's corners are visible when I flip the card back, and I'm having difficulty straightening my middle and ring fingers. What do I do?

    How/where you grip the card determines what shows. The lower on the card you grip, the less card shows through your hand, but the higher on the card you grip the tighter it is to the back of your hand. There's a good in between, but you need to figure out exactly where that is for you; it's different from person to person.

    Whenever I flip the card to the back of my hand it falls. What do I do?

    Try to hold the card a bit tighter, but don’t tense up or it will cause suspicion. Make sure your hands aren’t sweaty or the card might slip.

    Whenever I flip the card to the back of my hand, it falls out my hands. What can I try?
    Community Answer
    Try adjusting the position of the card. You have to actually bend the card but not crimp it, just bend it in place on the back of your middle and ring finger, with the corner between the gaps of the index and middle and ring and pinky. Keep practicing too, it takes a while to get this perfected.
