Thanks,

LOL, Chris dose make a good point.

What I think he is saying is why and whats the point doing a double like this?? If you want to do it then just do it with a single because your audience will be amazed by the fact that you flicked the card into the air and not because 'wow, he did that with 2 cards and it looked like one'.

I mean from my point of view, it looks fantastic because I am a magician and no its a double and can appreciate it in that way but I think Chris is saying 'why do a double like that for lay audiences because that same move with a double will be no more impressive than a single to a lay audience because to them there is no difference'.

Thanks,

Tom.

Tom,
I don't think Chris meant that Matt should do it with a single rather than a double. My understanding is that Chris is wondering why do so flourishy (is that a word) stuff with a double at all. I mean it's nice to be able to do stunts with a double like that for fun, but would you really need to do that in a trick to convince someone it's a single card? Maybe I just like to keep it simple, but turning the card over should be sufficient to convince mostly anyone it's a single card.

My perception is that Chris is wondering, "Why be flashy if you're going to do a DL."
I think your perception is that Chris is wondering, "Why use two cards to do those flourishes."
I could be wrong about Chris' intention.

Matt,
You're moves are good nonetheless. It's obvious you've put in some time to learn these. Cheers to you.

Matt,

I think all of them are convincing. All I was saying was that I'm not sure they are necessary to do in the context of a trick to convince someone it's a single card. This is strictly personal preference, and I don't mean to put you down in any way. I was just saying what I thought Chris' intention was when he asked, "Why?" because I agree with him.

Cheers,

T.J.

Just bought the pdf file for the move from Mr. Asher's website, and received a really nice follow-up email from Mr. Asher to make sure the download went smoothly. He has a special right now where you can purchase the Diving Board double and a manuscript describing a pretty striking four-Ace production at a reduced combo price. The explanations in the pdf files are very clear, with good photographs, and Mr. Asher offered to personally answer any questions. Very, very happy with the purchase, and am looking forward to spending time learning these moves.
