Drop - The Visual Downward Elevator Effect by Chris Lafferty
'Drop' is Chris' unique twist on the classic plot.
A freely selected signed card, is out-jogged face-up, and placed one card down from the top. Slowly, with just a slight shaking of the deck, the card is seen to sink lower, and lower, and lower. The performer asks the spectator to hold out a hand, and he places the deck, still with the selection out-jogged, onto her palm. He riffles up the side of the deck, and just as simply as that, shows that the selection has melted right through, now sitting on the spectator’s palm!
'Drop' is completely impromptu, highly visual, and simple!
What Chris has done here is take a fundamental move in magic and used it in a very creative way.
Although, a little knacky at first, with a few hours of practice you should have this down. Also, if you have been in magic for a few months, you will most likely be able to perform this.
Brian teaches this effect with intricate detail; from the various angles to the beauty of 'Drop'.
The advantage of 'Drop' is its simplicity; it can be incorporated in your ACR or can be performed as a stand-alone effect, either way, the effect is visually stunning.
I would also like to add that the drop can be done slowly or quickly, but 'Drop', will differ in looks depending on your handling.
An A+ from me...Definitely went straight in my arsenal.
