Raise Rise vs. Shifty vs. Elevator Card

[RichmanMatthew]

It doesn't matter if it is done one-handed or not, the point is, Raise Rise is a lot more visual when done correctly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaJos_Sn7Rc
I've asked close friends about which they liked most and the majority said Raise Rise.

Alright, alright, haha. I haven't ever seen it done that well before, so I agree, that looks extremely impressive. I still would like to be able to show their card, though. I don't know, it just adds a little extra UMPH to the effect, you know what i mean?

 

[RichmanMatthew]

I sort of understand what you mean. However, I think that "Liquidsn" does it better than Ray himself.

I was looking for the sleight and I still didn't see it. That was unbelievable.

I learned Shifty on a DVD called 'Tricks That Will Get You Paid' by Gary Norsegian (sp?) which is a way easier, improved method of Kenner's original S.W. Elevator from his book 'Totally Out Of Control' which I also love. I would say Shifty (a.k.a S.W. Elevator) is the best, hands down rising card if that's what you want to call it.

To be picky, Shifty is a simplified version of S.W. Elevator. They're not the same method.

To the people who are saying Fallen has bad angles, I doubt you actually bought the download/ DVD. If you would have, you would know that the angle are not half bad and they are very easy to cover.

With that being said, I would probably go with fallen, it's very open, and it is possibly one of the most visual, non gimmicked elevator cards out there.

P.S. If anyone would like to debate the issue on fallens angles, I will be more then happy to.

The angles are practically the same as the 3 effects mentioned here. But I don't really like Fallen at all. Less appealing in my eyes.

Raise Rise can be seen from all angles except from below.

Raise rise

Raise Rise is the move you should learn.. I can´t do it but Ray Cosby showcases some remarkable applications of this move,,, other then the elevator card that is...
Check one of his card DVDs for the explanation of the move,,,He really does some amazing stuff with it.

 

[RichmanMatthew]

I can already do the move very well. You can see a "performance" of the move in the intro to this video here.

You can learn it in Ray Kosby's "Impossible Card Magic" DVD. Here's a review for it on the E forums
