Volt springboard

Obviously, the name of this reception was due to the similarity of movements of parts of the deck with the athlete, who jumps from the springboard. For its execution, take a deck of cards and ask the viewer to take it off. When the viewer removes the deck, then with the right hand pull out the bottom part, and the left hand at that moment should place the fingers in such a way that it would be convenient to make the card volt. For this, the fingers of the left hand should take the following position.

Volt springboard


The unnamed finger of the left hand is underneath the bottom of the upper part, the little finger of the same hand is on top of the top part from the side of the shirt at the bottom of the pack. The remaining fingers of the left hand are in the open position, without interfering with the free movement of the remaining upper part of the deck. Only 2 fingers carry the main load, keep this part, the other fingers should not interfere with them. After the left hand has taken the original position for the volt, and the right hand places the removed bottom on top of the upper part, the little finger of the left hand is between these two parts.

The index finger and the ring finger drop from the top of the deck.

Further, the right hand again covers the entire deck of cards, but retains only the upper part of it, which lies over the little finger of the left hand. Then the right hand moves to the left side of the deck, which is below the little finger, and the left hand at the same time slightly extends the palm with the index, ring, middle fingers and little finger, holding the upper part between the little finger and the middle finger. The further movement of the left hand, which unbends the palm of the hand, causes the top of the deck to occupy a position that is perpendicular to the bottom of the deck, as shown in the photo, which is lower.

The left hand, when it spreads the palm with fingers, further jumps over the edge of the upper part and now the lower part is on the right side of the top and perpendicular to it.

After that, the palm of the left hand with the lower part closes and the lower part covers the upper part from the top. The top part of the deck jumped down like a springboard. Probably that's why this volt is called a springboard. Then both parts merge and form a single deck.
