    Pushoff questions: DL vs second deal, video sources,etc

    On Roberto Giobbi's website there are video downloads of him teaching available to buy, including his chapter on the double lift, I don't know if that will contain the push off from volume 3 or be purely the standard DL taught in the earlier volumes. In my opinion Andi Gladwin's Master Push-off...

    Favorite Magic/Cheating Scenes in Movies/Books

    Moist wasn in two more books- Making Money, and Raising Steam. I don’t think the mentions were anything big but were kinda throwaway remarks during his plan to escape with painting the horse and the glass ring and stuff. The vanished man is great, it talks a lot about misdirection and the...

    Favorite Magic/Cheating Scenes in Movies/Books

    I love Terry Pratchett! His character Moist Von Lipwig describes palms and switches in one of the books as well, so I think Mr Pratchett had at least a passing interest in magic. For books, Jeffrey Deaver wrote The Vanished Man, where the police are hunting a Killer magician, and I think quite...

    How can I get the most from magic books?

    I would (and do personally) rephrase this question as - how can I get the most from text books. We study magic, so magic books are our academic text books! If you take this rephrased question and google it, you will find literally thousands of ways of getting more from your study. Some...

    Is there a place to get used/discounted card magic books

    Ebay is pretty good if you invest the time to search it, I recently got Card College volume 1 for £19 gbp which would be almost half price for the $40 you quoted (I think about $26) There are some used magic book groups on facebook that are sometimes pretty good. I got Derren Brown's Pure...

    Overhand shuffle

    Cuts, riffles and fans look more impressive for camera, however if your goal is performing to an audience in person, the overhand is still the shuffle most familiar, and disarming to the, if you learn all the controls taught in RRTCM, the shuffle looks exactly the same as they may do it but you...

    Pick a Card, and any other patter you avoid

    I agree with all of these, I cringe if I ever catch myself uttering them, or here them being used with the solemnity and seriousness that accompanies them so often. Particularly "I have an ordinary..." if it was ordinary, why announce it?

    Pick a Card, and any other patter you avoid

    I know lots of us try and avoid proffering a fanned deck and asking someone to pick a card. What other stock lines do you try and avoid and why? My personal bugbear is "let's take it a step further". It might just be me - but referring to the next phase of an effect you are doing as "a step...

    "Double Lift" variant

    I think it’ll look a bit like a push off double when you get it. If it works for you man go for it, when you’re happy with the move a video would be cool. You might need to incorporate some sound misdirection into the move because I imagine there will be a click.

    Favorite Magic Movie?

    Christopher Booker said there are only 7 basic plots in story telling. There’s always going to be some crossover, because humans will always try to tell the most compelling stories, it’s only the framework that changes really

    "Double Lift" variant

    I mean, what’s wrong with using a traditional double lift to achieve what you’ve described? Also for the pinch, if you place your index and ring finger so they are contacting the bottom card, and your thumb on the top card, when the two cards come together- apply a little pressure to make the...
