Original Card Control to the Top

[Richard Kaufman]

There is a multiple card version of a Lowey-type palm in Cliff Green's book Professional Card Magic. It's kind of hard to decipher, but it's there.

Oddly enough, I have something a bit similar I use for a card load into a wallet. Go figure. Me loading a card into a wallet! Different but related.

I use the 2nd and 3rd fingers of my left hand for the levering action however.

It was one of the two controls I showed you at the bar at Magifest a few years ago Richard.

Mine is a bit more odd than Lips version. I tend to see sleights as tools to use with specific effects then as general purpose devices. So I develop them for just such uses. A failing of mine.

I never saw this thread before today. I tend to spend a lot of my time in the basement over a sewing machine.

But nice work Lips. It was interesting to follow the development of a sleight.

Wow Lips, you are working this move like a rented mule.

good job. It looks very smooth and not rushed at all.
Good magic should look graceful and the moves not seen. You accomplished that..good job.

I enjoyed seeing the video and not seeing the sleights as so often happens.
