Now repeat the process of adding triggers. Right click, and go to Timing. To see a full list of PowerPoint shortcuts, see our guide here.

Now you have your second trigger for this bottom card. The final step is to again drag the corresponding top card animation, which you just created a bit ago, underneath it. This ensures that the card will flip back to its original position when the bottom card is clicked. Repeat this process until you have another set of triggers for the bottom cards — so for every card, you should have 2 trigger sets. Therefore, for these cards, I have 24 in total.
