When i do the Duck change i push the card with my pointer finger to make it flip am i doing it right. Any tips if im doing it wrong
I don't understand the point of the Ben Harris change. It looks like it would be so obvious to laymen that the card is flipping over.I believe you are talking of Ben Harris' Superflip Change, as this uses a similar technique to the one you described. As far as I am aware, the Ben Harris change does not turn the cards over end-for-end, but rather flips them to the right; kind of like a book. The double bows downwards and is released firstly off the thumb, following by the middle finger -- however, it could be mistaken that they release at the "same time". This change also uses the index as a primary finger for the change's succession.
The Hiro Sakai Duck Change, however, uses a completely different technique. Although the cards flip in the same way as does the Superflip Change, this double bows upwards and is sprung off the middle finger before the thumb. This ensures that the double moves forward as the change takes place -- unlike the Ben Harris change, that does not more backwards OR forwards.
With that said, I unfortunately have no decent tips for you, I just wanted to make it clear for credit purposes that the two changes are not identical.
Take care,
Jordan

When he said he is using his pointer finger, he is keeping the card steady so it doesn't jump suddenly.
His original post stated that he uses his index finger to execute the change by pushing the cards down with it -- much like in the Ben Harris Superflip Change. This contrasts greatly with that of the Hiro Sackai Duck Change; as no index finger is used at all.
As a result, I think it is fair for anyone to assume that the common mistake of miscreaditing the changes had once again occured.
