As you can see in the video a trick shot in Badminton consists of two parts:
1) the feint shot - the one or sometimes two shots you show the opponent and
2) the actual shot - you finally play.

To learn any trick shot, two things are important:
a) minimize the time pressure - that means, start almost without footwork and with feeding multiple shuttle. By doing so the learning person can do as many errors as he or she needs to adapt the shot
