bring them to ur chest. but do so slowly...u wud hate to move the game along. then, from ur chest, begin to bring them up to ur nose. then spread them, look at them, and begin to bring them back down towards the felt. take ur time, ... then do what u need to do

This pretty much describes an older gentleman at the 2005 WSOP ME sitting directly to my right. I politely asked the dealer to give the guy a quick lesson in what is allowed because he was talking the cards off the table and leaning back so that no one could see his cards. When the dealer explained that the cards cannot cross the rail of the table into his lap or chest he adjusted by leaning forward (but not down to the table) and bringing the cards directly up in front of his nose to again try and prevent those around him from seeing his cards. It was rather amusing.
