Lately I have been working on new typed of double lifts, some more flashy then what I'm used to, similar to dan and dave buck's methods. Sometimes when performing, I use a very safe lift with my thumb on the back of the deck and middle finger on the front. It makes it very obvious to magicians that it is a double lift, but I am unsure about its credibility with most spectators. For me it is a 99 percent success rate which is why I use it. Other times, I use one of two kinds of strike double lifts. They look the best, but are not reliable every single time. Id say on out of 20 maybe i only get one card or three.
So the big question is how does the safe double lift appear to spectators as compared to the strike double lift. Can they really tell the difference?
I uploaded a video of the safe lift ( I am sorry I dont have a better term for it ) followed by two variations of my strike double lift.
My video camera is broken, so the video is filmed from my cell phone sitting on the edge of my desk. I KNOW the quality is bad, please bear with me.
Thanks everyone.
