Thank you Darren and Magic886Man, really appreciate the observations.
Darren, yes, it works fine for triples although I usually modify the handling for that... in short, I hold my right hand low over the deck so the triple springs up into the fingers of this hand (the cards don't get to stand so upright), then turn the cards over as usual. Hope that makes sense. Thank you to everyone for taking the time to watch the clip and comment.

I first off think it is an unnatural move, just as everyone else has pointed out, unless you make your singles the same way. However, it will still look weird but we are magicians...and most of us are weird.
I do like the move though. I have been looking at it at every angle, it would be a good move to use as a flash of the top card (This your card?) let it drop and whammo, instant top card. Ambitious or location or transposition or anything. I would call it surprise double from the pop up action, or maybe even pop double, and if I must go three I would call it "scared of the diving board" double. Lee would get a kick out of that. |

NeoMagic,
I have been working with a similar thing, although I don't allow my card to pop up as high as yours, I find this great for a second deal or for pushing two cards as one. |

I usually do the same for triples, i.e. not letting the card pop up so high. See my earlier reply to Darren.

How about the "Insert-Your-Name-Here Pop Double Lift". Keep it simple and easy to remember. I like having a name describe the move, just makes more sense to me than some crazy out-there name.
PS: I liked it, seemed kinda slow (the double lift counting), but with some misdirection I bet the specs will miss that. |

Looks like you're doing something to me - drawing attention to a secret manuever seems like a bad idea to me, but what do I know? As far as precedents go, the D'amico double has already been mentioned, and is the closest in handling that I can recall. Maybe you can work this into a context where drawing attention to the card at the time you are doing something secret is appropriate - I'd be interested to see it used in the context of an effect - that will tell you a lot more about its' viability than a barefaced demo does.
Best, PSC

Neomagic,
Very nice move and I like your creativity. Sure it looks studied but the demo being a 'demo of the move', it's not suprising. I'm conviced that this DL inserted in a routine would work well. I do not buy the suggestion that you have to turn all your cards over, may they be singles or not, the same way. However because this lift is unusual, integrated in a routine such as Roberto Giobbi's Card Collection where 3 cards are chosen and displayed the same way, but the third one using a DL, your move would go down very nicely I think. Basically the spectators have got used to your way of showing cards within the frame of the routine and the DL on the 3rd will go completely unnoticed. I know this because I use the D'amico double lift for that very same routine. |

Hey, where did this thread come from?
In any case, what's it called? Does he use a get-ready?

Real nice DL!
Natural??? So, who's natural? We're weird magicians! Nice little flourish and it looks like there couldn't be two cards so.... |

Thumbs up double?!
Does look a little unnatural. Would be a good double to do to magicians. |

Dead Cool Neo!
Could you not develop this into a Stud Second Deal? Just a thought. With regard to naturalness, if I were the spectator seeing this, I would think you are merely making it clear to me that only only card is turned and all is fair. It looks fair to me.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Nice move, but does look a little un-natural. I thought magic was about looking and doing things that the layman can relate too. Anything out 0f the ordinary means something is happening.

There's nothing natural about it!
I understand that some magi like to hide their skills and it's a good way to go for some. On the other hand there are those who like to do flourishes because they feel it adds entertainment value. We don't have to follow and do what every other magi writes or tells us is the right way. Non-conformists are the ones who change the the world. |
