Watch Luchen's handling (0:32 - 0:35)

That's just a thumb count. That's what I use.

It is Martin Nash's Knockout Double. As far as I recollect, it is taught (and credited) on Gregory Wilson's "Double Take" DVD.

I believe it is Larry Jennings' Snap Double. Perhaps similar to Nash's double.
Written up in a couple of places but shown in detail on Daryl's ACR video. The way the magician does it in the clip is exactly the way I do it, and I learned from Daryl's video.
It's never crowded on the extra mile....

Yup its the Larry Jennings snap double (done well) not the Martin Nash double which is more like a push off second.

My apologies, I was talking about the DL at 2:50 in the video. Now I notice the question was about the one at 0:32.
Thanks for being awake and correcting me gents! Michael |

Could it be just a good thumb count of two cards and a turn over?

It looks like Martin's except it has the thumb count as the get ready which I'm pretty certain Martin did not do.

The Jennings Snap Double begins with thumb counting the two and then a very slight buckle action, pressing with the thumb against the slightly raised cards. You can push against the fingers and get the card to buckle up, creating a gap. From there, you can do the bit with the forefinger and get the snap effect, or for a more casual look, simply let the two cards slide over the edge and proceed with a turnover. In the video he does the 'snap' but it is not pronounced. I like to give the cards a good snap and then use the 'crackling' turnover which Racherbaumer wrote up in Card Finesse. I actually was doing it long before reading it, it just was something that came naturally to me. Some like crispy card magic and others gnash their teeth. To each his own.

The Jennings had two handlings as I recall. The first is explained above and the variant is to push two cards (as in a push off double) against the fingers at the right side of the deck to create the buckle and proceed as in the other handling.

The Jenning's one, that you'll find described in detail, as mentionned, in Daryl's Ambitious card book.

Looks like Dingle's Double lift...
Complete Works of Derek Dingle As for the double as per Jenning's Snap double. It looks like a Bertram double lift from Bertram on Sleight of Hand I believe. There isn't really an audible snap. The Bertram double is often overlooked and is meant to be secretive. So if he performed a good Jennings Snap Double, it was a terrible Bertram Double... Take a look. J |

I must be, because I just took an overall look on the book and can't find it. And yes, he describes in the book a strike DL.
That's funny because I hardly remember the video. Memory is a mystery... Thanks, Jonathan. |
