This is an explanation of the Quadruple Hot Shot Cut. I've started using a different program (That's not why the quality is different), so you may notice some changes in the layout of the videos from now on.

In case you want to read the text instructions separately, I've copied the instructions below:

1. Hold the deck with your first finger at the top end, your pinky at the bottom end, your thumb at the left end, and your middle and ring fingers at the right end.

2. Use your forefinger to separate 5-10 cards, and allow them to drop on the thumb's side.

3. Use your forefinger to push the packet up to a vertical position, as shown.

4. Continue pushing the block all the way past the deck, and allow a small packet from the deck to drop down, forming a triangle.

5. Push the block up with the second packet, keeping a small break between them with the flesh of your thumb.

6. Use your forefinger to break what's left of the deck in half, and use your other fingers to separate the packets so they are side by side. Now push the (original) bottom packet to the top, completing the cut.

7. Return these two packets to the rest of the deck, and pick up all the cards at the break.

8. With your forefinger still underneath the deck, your
middle, ring, and pinky fingers in the break, and your thumb gripping the rest of the cards (The thumb should be all the way around the side of the deck), straighten all of your fingers.

9. Now, close your fingers, and you should have the deck more or less in dealer's grip, with your forefinger in the break.

10. This final part takes a knack. Use your forefinger to work the card out of the deck and position it to create an L-shape.
Position your middle finger underneath the single card, and use
it to flick the card up and out of the deck, into the awaiting hand.

11. Some parts of this may be difficult to understand at first, but just practice and you'll get it.
This move is a variation/improvement on the Hot Shot Cut,
and can be very impressive when done at full speed.
I've shown my version of the Quadruple Hot Shot Cut to many
magicians who have been waiting for this instructional video for a long time.
