Absolutely amazing move. Not too hard to learn, and goes great with an ambitious card routine.

This is great. One of my greatest investments here. It seems and I thought of it as hard. But watch the video multiple times and you will definitely pull this one off very easy and constantly.
Did it once on my dad and it completely fooled the heck out of him. Buy it.

Awesome. Great control, this will take lots of practice like anything else. I think one of the best parts of this move is that when the deck is rotated up the spectator thinks that they clearly see their card being pushed into the middle of the deck. Excellent and very clear teaching of every step involved. Thank you Rick and thank you theory11!

This is great, Rick teaches this very well. And he DOES give credit to those who deserve it. It's his take on a great move and it has gone into my daily routines. It's not hard to learn (if you're at least an intermediate card handler). Buy it, what's stopping you?

Really hard (hence minus 1 star), but looks amazing. I hope I get it down soon.

The effect is simple but very clever. However, it is a bit angle sensitive and needs a lot of practice.

I was impressed enough by the trailer to make this my first ever "magic trick" purchase. I focus mainly on cardistry but wanted to know a few moves that could be integrated into flourishing should the need arise, and this one is perfect.
The instruction and production of the video is absolutely top-notch and after some practice, Highrise would be a wonderful addition to any repertoire. As pretty much a non-magician, it was easy to follow along and perfectly doable with some dedication and practice. A wonderful effect.
Angelo Montero • Moraga, CA • 11/13/11
Incredible control/effect in and of itself. Only qualm is that it does have angle restrictions, meaning it is meant to be performed for 1-2 people in a direct/fair line of sight.
This, however, should not be a reason to not purchase and learn this sleight, because when used under the correct circumstances, it is VERY effective (especially against burners, might I add).
When purchasing this sleight, don't expect a control to replace all of your others. Rather, expect a control that definitely has potential to be your go-to for 1-2 spectators. I highly recommend it.

So much more than I was expecting. Rick really has improved on a classic here. The mechanics of it are much more fun to perform, and he covers every little movement in a professional step by step download. Great crediting, great move, great download. Get it!

You want the best control? Well, here it is! You want it to be easy to learn? This guy will truly not only make you better but you will learn this move in NO TIME! Highly recommended. 10/10.
Yikun Chi • Manlius • 11/12/11
The move is nearly perfection. Clean, elegant. Easy to learn. Rick Lax splits move into 7 phases and says that phase 5 is difficult. Actually, it is not very hard. I would say if you want go as smooth as his performance. It may take some practice. But definitely a great move!
Justin Flom • Las Vegas, NV • 11/12/11
This is a great control! Performed live it really looks this good. It looks natural and completely fair, and doesn't take long to master the sleight. I highly recommend HighRise for your performances. Nice work Rick. A killer move.
Sanchez • Iraq • 11/12/11
I've been using the classic pass while performing for my fellow service members here in Iraq and I keep telling myself it's time to learn a new card control move. Well, here it is!
With my schedule being limited on personal time while deployed I was afraid I wouldn't have the time to learn or practice a new move... however, Rick wastes no time getting down to business and explaining the move in great detail. Rick not only explains every detail of the move but he does it in the simplest of words without making you feel like he's talking to a child.
As soon as I finished watching the video I immediately congratulated and thanked Rick for such a wonderful move and concept that not only works great as a card control, but can be used in its own right as an effect to fool the masses. Bravo. Kudos. Keep Them Coming!

Beautiful sleight! If your a card handler, this is for you. Amazingly deceptive card control. Great teaching of the sleight from Rick, who goes into every detail - You'll pick it up in no time.
Madison Hagler • Alabama, USA • 11/11/11
This is such a great move! I know tons of controls but this one is one of the best. It is SO deceptive and it's pretty easy as well. The teaching is great. As the ad says, he splits the move into 7 phases. I was nervous watching because he kept talking about how hard the 5th phase is and how trickey it is... after watching it, it wasn't near as bad as what I was expecting (and this is coming from someone with small hands).
One thing that I love about this move is how fluid it is. It is such a fluid move to perform. It almost happens naturally once you learn the concept of the move. And the detail that Rick goes into is outstanding. You can tell he has been working out all the kinks and has made it as smooth as possible. This is a must buy for card handlers.
