Push off Double Tutorial

I am taking off the tutorial because of the lack of credits for the move.  I too hastly put the tutorial on without giving credit and references to the move.  That is my fault and I apolagize.  I will put the tutorial back on in the future when I find proper credit and also make it better and more refined.

————-

Here it is guys.  The nitty gritty on the push off double I use.  If you have any questions, post them in the comment page and I will try to help you out.  Here are some wishes I hope people respect when viewing this.
This is intended for people who respect the art of magic.  If I see anyone post this anywhere else or passing it off and not crediting this blog, I will take it down.  It’s free so hopefully none of this will happen.
If I see some person trying to do this on youtube and is horrible, I will take it down.  Take the time to perfect it.  Please.  That’s all I ask.
Have fun with it.  This isn’t a easy sleight and is really for people who really love sleight of hand.

Password is from The Expert at the Card Table.  In the description of the S.W.E shift, he writes “We have not dubbed the following process with our initials because we wish to appear ‘big on the _____,’”.  Fill in the blank.  Hope you like it.

Thank you so much for this. Probably the most natural double I’ve seen. Your blog just keeps getting better.

Thanks a lot man.

I gotta confess though, that a month ago I carefully observed how you did the double by watching your Joker being a Joker video, then practiced ever since. The tips you gave were helpful, very greatly appreciated.

Boo on the bend! Heh heh. That’s just to get back at you from all the times you yelled “break!” on my shifts. But if you’re performing for laymen, I think it’s totally fine. But I always saw the bend as a tell to magicians :P .

I never asked this, but can you do triples and such consistently? I know at that point, it just comes a feel and a pressure issue.

This could also be used as a double deal, of course.

I wonder how it would look if you did it faster. Not in a speedy way, but as I was just practicing it, I find that when I turn over the top single, I do it a bit faster than if I did a double… and I don’t mean technique-wise. Just the actual turning over. Not calling too much attention to it is the goal, right? You’re just turning a card over! Even though they still won’t see anything ;) .

Tony revealing the real work! When’s the DVD due? Heh heh.

Tony… breaking out the big tricks! Love it!

As for a suggestion for another tutorial. Even though you already taught me pretty thoroughly, others might appreciate a lesson on culling =)
