Alternate handling for an easy, but less visual elevator card.

[Ben Long]

Please delete this if it is exposure. It's just that I got this idea and thought I'd share it. I'll try to be as nonspecific as possible to protect the methods, etc.

Basically, you could push the entire card into the deck face up and bring it to the top, then make it become the top card again. This is less visual, which I guess defeats the purpose of elevator, but you can spread the cards at each interval to show that the selection has moved. It's also an easier handling.

Again, I apologize if this is exposure of any sort, I just wanted to share this alternate handling to a great trick...

And also stick it to the man in the process...or something.

I edited the post to remove exposure. Let's keep it method-free, my friends.

Yeah, I'm sorry for that one. I guess I got a wee bit too enthusiastic. I'll try and make sure it doesn't happen again.

Which elevator trick is this again?

The one where the outjogged face-up card is seen to slowly rise to the top of the deck. There's a vid in the media section.

Is your handling easier than the original handling, or at least more angle proof? Because the original handing is veeery easy.

Like I say, it's much easier, but less visual. Just PM me, or something...
