Paul Wilson has a technique for dropping a double on a table without it separating (the double, I mean, not the table, though it would be desirable if the table remained whole too). I found the following description for Wilson's move; it's taught on his DVD Twists of Fate:
"[T]he Wilson Tabled Double technique. The technique, which is explained in detail, allows you to place two cards, as one, on a table and flick them a short distance without them separating." My question: Does anyone know if this move (or another that accomplishes the same thing) is taught elsewhere, either by Wilson or someone else? Thanks for your help, Bob |

Bob, there are a number of tabled double techniques out there. Dan Tong's Pad Spread in Mentzer's Card Cavalcade is good. Is there a reason you want to do this? It is knacky and risky.
It's never crowded on the extra mile....

Paul is also on this DVD demonstrating tabled doubles. Two sets of doubles right at the end.

Thanks, Tortuga and Morris. It's nothing I need right now. I'm looking ahead to doing an invisible palm effect in the future.

Maybe a better question would be, "Can you recommend an invisible palm routine that's effective but not too hard?" I'm trying to be realistic about what I can do at my current level, which is somewhere between beginner and intermediate, probably closer to beginner. Maybe I'm not ready for this one yet?

A fun way to practice the tabled double is flicking it over to your partner across the table. When it reaches your homie, s/he executes an Eidetic change while it is still in motion. Under the guise of saying, "Hey, Joey! Do something magical!", it surprises any passerbyers and hanger-outers.
If you place the thumb near the corner, you can spin the double as it traverses the table. Cliff Green's Professional Magic has a shooting tabled double from the bottom of the deck.
One time, when I was young, I botched a sleight so bad, Vernon, Marlo & Miller rolled over in their graves. But I didn't see Elmsley, probably because he was behind the others.

Yikes! Thanks, rawdawg. I *think* you're pulling my leg about the eidetic change, no? Sounds fun; also sounds way above my pay grade!
Tortuga, I wrote back but apparently forgot to hit "send." Basically, I agree with you: solid basic skills and stretching are both good. Right now I feel that I need to shift the balance more toward the basic skills. |

I remember having seen an ad for a dvd by a Asian guy, the dvd was entire devoted to the handling of doubles ou multiples, with table techniques. There was a huge amount of material in that dvd. Like Tortuga, I will never have sufficient confidence to use that sort of technique. With fellow magicians yes, never with laymen, too risky.

Good to know, Rachmaninov. So my earlier question remains: Does anyone know of a invisible palm routine that's not overly difficult? If they all depend on tabling doubles then I'll have to wait -- which is okay, as I have plenty of other tricks to work on.

Sorry Bob, I don’t know any invisible Palm routine without the use of doubles. Maybe you can figure out a in the hands version on your own ?

Ah, Rach, in my dreams! Maybe someday I'll have the expertise to make up my own routines. It isn't a big deal, though: I have plenty of other great tricks to work on, and the info about tabling doubles being hard to do is useful: now I know not to spend time on a trick that I'm not ready for.
Thanks to all, Bob |
