What is a "cover" card?
A "cover" card is the card that is placed on the bottom of the deck to cover the faces of the rest of the cards. If your spectator catches a glimpse of the faces side of your deck, he will see a random card instead of the force card. For example, if you have a One-Way deck that is all 3 of Hearts cards, you will use a "cover" card (say, the 10 of Spades) and place that card on the bottom of your deck. Your spectator will see the Bicycle back design on one side of your deck, and the face of the 10 of Spades on the other side. He will have no idea that all of the rest of the cards are 3 of Hearts!
What is the difference between "flip" , "fan" and "spread"?
"Flip" means holding the deck by the shorter edge and flipping through the cards like you would flip the pages of a book. This allows your spectator to get a look at all the individual cards. "Fan" and "spread" are very similar. "Fan" means to display the cards spread out in your hand. "Spread" means to display the cards so you can see a series of individual cards.
