TXTNTESampleSGNDplpkt U + * = U SGNHash Hold deck in left hand standard grip. Separate the deck by undercutting half if the deck into right hand. Have spectator return his or her card onto the left hand pile. Overhand shuffle first card, injogging it. Shuffle off. Cut the half below the injog to top. Text

TXTNTEWe can add intuition by thinking of the jog as either a 'stop'-jog or as a 'start'-jog. In most situations we use the jog to 'stop' some SGNOpentop stockSGNClose secret arrangement SGNOpeneg. adding three cards onto a selectionSGNClose, or, we use the jog to 'start' a SGNOpenbottom stockSGNClose arrangement. SampleSGNDplpkt SGNOpen U + SGNClose * = U SGNHash The brackets help remember which half of the deck SGNOpenbelow or above the jogSGNClose matters, and also how to 'pronounce' the jog. SectionSTRGEN

1. Control a selection to top MoveMVEOS

SGNOpen U + SGNClose * = U SGNHash SectionSTRGEN

2. Control a selection to 3rd from top MoveMVEOS

O2

SGNOpen U + 2 SGNClose * = U SGNHash SectionSTRGEN

3. Transfer btm to top MoveMVEOS

U = 1 SectionSTRGEN

4. Transfer top card to inf-2 MoveMVEOS

O4

M = SectionSTRGEN

5. Transfer top card to inf-2 while transferring inf-2 to top SGNOpenexchanging top and inf-2SGNClose MoveMVEOS

M = 1 SectionSTRGEN

6. Control 2 selections, returned individually, to top and btm MoveMVEOS

O6

SGNOpen U + SGNClose * = SGNOpen U + SGNClose * = U SGNHash SectionSTRGEN

7. Controlling a selection to inf-2 while also transferring top to btm MoveMVEOS
