I recently was asked to be a magbiah. Before I came to the bimah, the chazzan turned the scroll so that the text was facing down (toward the table). So, when I grasped the atzey chaim and lifted it, the text was facing towards the ark and then I needed to turn around so that the text was facing toward the congregation. Is this a minhag in some (ashkenazi) shuls? It seemed a bit odd to me.
