Could you be meaning the "Slip Jog"? If not, where might one find the "Side Job"? Cody

The change used is the Marc Desouza's Shapeshifter change. I'm not sure if it is taught in Dan and Dave's explanation, although I would assume it contains a brief description. However, I would recommend consulting any of the sources where Marc has published or taught the change (Shapeshifter...

If you are looking for a vanish of one card, away from the deck, I would recommend taking a look at a vanish of Gary Kurtz. I'm not sure where or if it is in print, but I remember seeing it on a lecture video of his if that helps at all. Directly after the vanish the card can be transfered...

Josh's Trumped Triumph is not based off Bannon's "Last Man Standing", but instead off of his "Play It Straight Triumph", from Impossibilia It can be found in his lecture notes and on his Close Up Up Close DVD set, both of which are excellent. Cody

If you are referring to the triumph I think you are talking about, it is an unpublished idea by Tony Chang of NYC. Although it is a great version of Triumph, or at least based off Triumph, I don't see your motivation in starting a thread about this, being that it is unpublished and you said...

The late Jack Parker has some wonderful work with double backers that is definitely worth looking into. Cody

Shouldn't any move be practiced until perfection? And of course by perfection I mean the point where it is totally indetectable, whether being burned or not. Despite the fact that misdirection is there to aid you, that does not at all mean that the actions involved should be any less...

Two words: Paul Cummins The stuff in FASDIU 1 and 2 is just as the name implies, from a shuffled deck in use, and some of the most hard hitting and practical material one can find anywhere. I use quite a few things from these works on a regular basis. Cody

I would hope so, since that's how the move was originally published. :) Cody

Nice job, John. Great simplicity in method, and easy to understand effect. For another very different handling of the same effect (although away from the deck), Alex Elmsley has a version in Pabular. Once again, thanks for sharing this handling. Cody

I would recommend looking at the very first chapter of Expert Card Technique where it is said: "The ideal double lift is the simple pushing off of two cards, as one, with the left thumb in exactly the same manner as in dealing." This chapter and quotation are often referenced by the great...
