Bill Perkins is the latest member of the Vanishing Inc Magic team, and he debuts with a move that is part flourish, part magic, and all elegance. Imagine: you barely touch a tabled spread of cards, yet somehow they contort into a perfectly symmetrical fan. If you would read this effect, you would never believe it could be done. But in this 40 minute exclusive download, Mr. Perkins proves that with a minimal amount of practice and a light touch, it’s possible to see perfect results with the Orbit Spread in under ten minutes.

I have to say that I watched the demo video and immediately presumed "I'll never be able to do that", but it was an awesome looking flourish, so I decided to give it a go and purchase.
How wrong I was! The actual flourish is almost self working. And it looks so elegant.
Full credit to Bill Perkins for a very thorough description of the exact hand positioning and technique required. I have learnt that small deviations from the correct position affect the quality of the spread greatly, so his teaching is spot on.
I would recommend learning to do the Orbit Spread in the left hand, as it is a good way to display a packet of cards; for example the final stage of an oil and water routine. (The reason it looks better in the left hand is that the indices of the cards are seen).
