Any tips on a thumb fan?

[David Brooke]

I have read Royal Road, Card College, Single tutorials on sites and some videos. I can do an 'OK' one handed fan, nothing to special, but when I attempt a thumb fan it's never equal. (I have used new decks for it too.)

Would you mind posting a video of your thumb fan so we can see what you're doing wrong? ( if anything ) So we can see what we can do to help you out.

Everybody is different when performing a move. I think it's easier to make the fan with your index finger. I cannot make a decent fan with my thumb, only with my index finger. That's just how I feel comfortable. Try it, maybe it can work.

Hi guys. Sorry for not replying, I've been away for a while.
Anyway, quick update, I've worked out what was wrong, it was the speed and pressure of the fan. Now my fans are as smooth as a polished wooden floor. Thanks for the help.
