While doing this, get the motion as if you were in motion to do a stike second (pushing off two cards with the pad of the left thumb),
I think I may have a solution to this dilemma. I agree with everyone here and from what my teacher had taught me "there is no magic without misdirection....none" so yes it is key to the tecnique. While recapping what has or is going to happen, wrist kill your arm;while in mechanix grip, turn your hand/palm down. While doing this, get the motion as if you were in motion to do a stike second (pushing off two cards with the pad of the left thumb), but instead of pulling back on the top card to do a deal (all while ur palm is turing down) pull back and get a pinky break under both. ONLY at this point after ze insertion of ze pinky do you execute ze double lift sleight. That's how i've done it for years. >.< Anyone have any other ideas? XD
I just started learning the double lift and I can't seem to make the cards look as if they were one single card when I turn them around. Is there a way to prevent the cards from slipping because the people I showed it to all saw the two cards. Is there really a way or do I just need more practice? Thanks.
