Diving Board Double/Silver Surfer

[Jeff Fitzgerald]

Hey guys, here's a quick video of Lee Asher's Diving Board Double and Silver Surfer. I've been working on the moves for a long time and recently got them down consistantly.

Sweet!

Too bad you use a joker. Some people might think you're using a duplicate.

But overall.... sweet!!!

Too bad you use a joker.

Oh yeah! Totally didn't realize that. I'll refilm it with a different card.

DBD and silver surfer

Jeff good job on the DBD sleight. Do you ever have problems with the surfer move not holding together?

YES! I have to "relearn" the sleight with each new deck I use. :\ I've found it easiest to do with brand new cards, especially Fourniers.

I took Lee's Advice about the Joker and refilmed it. I also used his tips on the help page of his website, which I found to be incredibly helpful in getting the move down consistantly. Unfortunately, it's a bit harder to get down smooth with the added improvements, at least for me. Anyways, here's the new video, done with a signed card.

Nice... and it's better in my opinion.

The only single thing stopping it from being perfect is - you just need to become more comfortable with it. Your handling needs to relax. Your hands look stressed right now, they should look comfortable. This only comes with practice. You ARE on the right track my friend. Keep with it and all your hard work will pay off.

Thanks again for playing with the Silver Surfer.

Asher

ps. glad my tips page helped. I am thinking of making one for WITNESS.

Wow one great thing about these T11 forums is that you can post about something as legendary as the Diving Board Double and get a response from the creator himself. Amazing.

The smoothness in the first one was definitely better than the second one, but like Lee said the joker is a problem for some people.

Looks fantastic though. If it weren't called the diving board "double" I wouldn't have a clue

Yeah. I'm having a bit of trouble the new way. The card(s) come in contact with the base of my first finger and it's really card to get them to slide off together, if at all. :/

Excellent job! Keep practicing! I only say that because you should always keep practicing, not because the move in the video was bad. Great job, seroiusly top notch!
