2. Place the right hand over the pack, press the first finger against the left side just below the outer corner, and rest the other fingers against the outer end.

3. Move the pack to the right with the right hand; the cards to be palmed pivot between the left little finger at the inner right corner and the right forefinger at the outer left corner, moving into position for palming, Fig. 2.
