[header] How to perform a rai flick [title] Dribble the ball. [step] As you are approaching a nearby defender, dribble the ball between your left and right feet. The trickery of the rai flick is in full effect when you are directly in front of the defender. 
As you are dribbling the ball, get within about 3 feet of the defender, right in front of him/her. If this is your first time practicing the trick, it is better to use a cardboard cut-out or an object as representative of the defender.
