You can also try moving your NTH forward a little in combination with pointing the NTH index finder down has helped me. ---

I can agree with scott, for months ive been doing magic drop and it would always land on the wrong string. When doing superman, just learning it, i was having an easier time doing it, i Incorporated those slight hand movements in a magic drop and hit it with great ease now ---

Remember, a you can still land a magic drop on the front string, depending what you want to use it for though. ---

NTH index finger down and away. Helped me immensely. Tends to open the strings up a bit. Also keeping my TH thumb pointed straight up. Good luck man. I literally woke up one day and just immediately got it. It was weird.
