The Glide

Secretly pulling back the bottom card so that the second-from-bottom card can be removed as if it is the bottom card.

Note: Though the middle, ring and little fingers do the pulling, the thumb and index finger are what keep the rest of the deck in place.

Gene Maize Bottom Deal

"Gene Maze and the Art of Bottom Dealing".
It's also known as a "Modified Ernase Grip". This Information is more for credits as
the best source to learn it, is the Steve Forte special or the GPS Tapes.
He uses this form of the bottom deal on the 3 Tape (DVD).

Furthermore Gene Maze uses his index Finger as a pressure point.
I belive most people who use the grip with the sailing action use equal pressure beteen the first and
second finger. Furthermore there is no push out action as in the Erdanse bottom, it's a simple strike bottom.
Other than that just straighten your third and fourt finger.

Accoring to Jason England a gambler showed Steve Forte this version of the bottom deal.
I think you can find this information in the Gambling Spot way back. But I'm not 100% sure about
the place, I'm sure about the source being Jason England.

In it's simplest form, a cold reading is a reading where the psychic doesn't know anything (or little) about the sitter.
