^ That further proves my point that some DLs work for some and not as well for others. The one you mention would be too awkward for me and I'd get called out on it for sure, however it works perfectly for you.

Take Harry Lorayne, I love practically everything he does. He uses 3 double lifts. Two of those work well for me, the other not so much. When he does it, no one questions it.

I use around 6 different DLs regularly. I guess they are all pretty convincing, because I've been asked if I was using trick decks... The thing that makes my DL convicing is the fact that I've being doing between 50 and 200 a day for many years, and that I know which one to use at each point of each trick I do.

P!

One more UNRESERVEDLY RECOMMENDATION for Harry Lorayne's 'The Magic Book' and the DLs you can learn there.

For those who care, THE MAGIC BOOK is re-written updated, etc., along with another couple of my books, in THE CLASSIC COLLECTION, Vol. 4. You can learn more about it if you go to my magic website - the last one listed under this post. Best - Harry L.
