    Problem performing the TG deck flip

    Hi agarcia, The good news is, everyone here has had this problem some time or other. The bad news is, we'll never be sure when the habit will shake off! I think it's important to mention that you should not apply much pressure prior to the flip. It is a mistake many people make when...

    The Queens

    Firstly, I want to say that it takes a brave soul to take on such a tough routine - this effect certainly is not an easy one to pull off, yet you even performed the effect with speech as well; and that is a feat in itself. Therefore, good work for that. :) However, there are a few notes that I...

    Double Lift Sequence

    Good work Matt; and congratulations on getting the Lee Asher seal of approval! I do admit that your Doubles were definitely well executed - so good work! However, if I am blatantly honest with you, I didn't find the video of much interest at all - in fact, quite boring. Whilse you did...

    "Best Double Lift"

    I cannot say what the best Double Lift is, as there's not going to be an answer. However, I personally love using the *Stuart Gordon Double Lift. It's casual, clean, and there's seemingly no tension with the cards at all - it's very "singular". Funnily enough, this is actually a move I do often...

    Who Invented Double Lift?

    Farrell is correct, but just to elaborate a little more: Richard Neve was the first to introduce an idea of removing two cards as one from the deck and displaying them. He published his findings in The Merry Companion (1716) - to which he also published along with the ”Ambitious Card”-plot. Good...

    What Are Flourishes For?

    To answer your question simply: it's not just about the 'look'. For most of us, we practice flourishes for the dexterity and the feeling of self-accomplishment that the challenge brings (by having achieved something you worked hard for). Granted, it may be seen as a 'waste' since very few...

    RESET by Paul Harris

    In that case, you shall love the Art of Astonishment volumes. For example, in "Re-Set" there is 23 (twenty-three!!) illustrations throughout the text - and each section is broken down into "Steps" to ensure easy reading. I've never had a problem learning from his book and I don't think many...

    T.c.t.c.s.a.

    No, I used to call it that - now I call it the rightful name; Pandora. :) Jordan

    RESET by Paul Harris

    I couldn't agree more - well said! :) Daugava, you can find Paul Harris' original handling on page 137 of the Art of Astonishment, Volume 1 book, under the name "Re-Set". He also includes alternate handlings under the name "Re-Set Options" on page 143 of the same book. If I'm not mistaken...

    My hands :(

    I too used to worry about "small hands" and how palming felt impossible. But once I had got the courage to try it in real situations, I noticed there was nothing to worry about. My technique certainly isn't great, but my attitude towards the move is - I no longer try and think negatively to...

    Clip Shift

    As I said earlier, it's a beautiful thing to be able to discuss such fantastic moves and I have no problems against it whatsoever. :) However, when the topic is constantly harrassed with unneeded comments by certain members, I don't think it's very fair to both the creator or his move. Which...

    Clip Shift

    I would say not - especially when the creator himself wishes to wait for the release of the DVD before discussions form. I've been watching this topic on and off for a little while now and I have to admit that it's done no good for the move at all. I am all up for discussions, but when those...

    Erdnase Go Round

    Alex, that's fantastic to hear; I'm glad you finally got the move - it's a beauty! :) Best regards, Jordan

    Blackpool 2008 (video)

    Wow, I hadn't thought this to be up already! Well, well.. Allan, I just wanted to congratulate you on such a fantastic outcome; I think the improvements you added were spectacular and really made the video feel more "complete". I understand how often you took out your free time to play with...

    Aaron Fisher's Gravity Half Pass Performance

    That's very kind of you to say, Fercloseupartist. I appreciate the words, they are inspiring. I understand completely with your side of the story and I want to wish you a good future with your Gravity Half Pass. :) Take care, Jordan

    Lie Detector #2

    I used to have the same issue as you did; I could never seem to get it to work no matter how many times I followed it. Eventually I decided to read it word-for-word without following with a packet of cards and I realized I was reading it wrongly before -- I had apparently missed some small key...

    Aaron Fisher's Gravity Half Pass Performance

    Not a problem, I was merely echoing what Aaron described in The Paper Engine. I have his book and DVDs ("Fisher Speaks" and "The Aaron Fisher Lecture") he explains to use the points I gave; to curl the index finger on top and to literally raise the deck to fingertips. However, I do suppose it is...

    Aaron Fisher's Gravity Half Pass Performance

    Good work on the Gravity Half Pass! Congratulations on getting so far with it. :) However, there are a few key details that I think you should consider, they are important and you seemed to have missed them out on every performance: • Your right index finger should stay curled on top of the...

    ONE Single Card Revelation and Flourish Tutorial

    Hi JDEN, Unfortunately the move isn't original to you -- I remember being shown an identical "through the deck" spin (minus the Hot Shot Cut) by Kevin Ho. He used it in conjunction with Dave Buck's Spin Doctor Double, published on page 7 of the printed Sleightly Magical booklet (August...
