My inspiration for this instructable was I started getting into card  flourishes. I got so into it that I decided to make an instructable on one.
 
In this instructable I will show how to the card spring card flourish. You may see a lot of magicians doing this popular little trick. It took me about an hour to get it perfect most of the time.

Griping the cards is easy. All you have to do is take your fingers ( not including your thumb ) and then put your thumb on the other side in the center. look at the pictures for reference. Once you do so move on to the next step.

I find it easier to do this trick by holding two of the corners instead of a whole side.

I prefer to have the cards shoot off my fingers, and not my thumb. It looks more professional, and the audience can better see the cards springing.
