    Double Lift Critiques

    The two c push can be tough when executed at speed, but so very natural when done slowly. The secret is maintaining the same pressure with thumb and ring finger. Your move is very well done, but makes me feel like magic is going to happen next, and that is not always a bad thing.

    hello all, I am having trouble tracking down a non gimmicked two cup routine for the cups and balls. The cups will be borrowed, so will not stack, and will not be chopped. Any advice, or simply a point in the right direction, would be greatly appreciated.
