Effect: The illusion is that you just performed a regular swing cut.
Method: Have the deck in right hand biddle grip. Swing cut the top half onto the left hand. Use the left hand to momentarily hold both halves. The top half is angled anticlockwise with the left thumb on its back and the bottom half is held in right hand biddle grip and is being supported by the left fingers at its face. Slide the right fingers and thumb to the right side of the ends, so you only hold the deck with the right thumb and index finger. Separate the tow halves, by pulling the right half to the right. The left half is held in dealer's grip. The right hand comes back to the left to complete the cut. As it moves left, the left fingertips touch the face of the right half and pushes its bottom card to the right, so it jogs widely. When this jogged card touches the right pinkie, it pivots around that finger so it gets parallel to the right hand palm. As both halves are squared, the jogged card should be under the right palm. The left fingertips push it up towards the right palm. At the same time, the right index moves to the right, so the left top corner of the card is separated from the deck. The right hand palms the card, and moves back to a biddle grip, as the deck is squared.
Comments: A break can be held at the point of the cut, because of the position of the pinkie in the dealer's grip of the left half. The pimkie break can be transferred to a thumb break, as well.
