I looked up the Ultra Move. It looks neat and has lovely mechanics.
Here is a 29-minute live performance of mine: https://youtu.be/lq2Rj1uf05M I used to be quite sensitive to criticism; I am much less so now; so, please do criticize my technique, presentation, and posts. It helps me to grow, and I promise to take responsibility and not to be defensive. |

TeddyBoy - Try buckling the first card with your second finger, then buckle the next card with your first finger.

Thank you, Harry. I get so caught up in what I percieve as "proper technique" that the obvious eludes me.
Jason Ladanye's new book lit a fire in me to master the swing cut multiple shift. It takes a little practice. I have it down now. I'm happy... |

Speaking of swing cut multiple shift. I love that technique. There is some details I’m not satisfied with in my technique. I’ve learned it from Card College, and from the London Collection (Hollingsworth). Any other good source to improve ?
For example, if your diagonal insertion leaves the front left corner visible, audience can see the small gap between cards, where the diagonal controlled card resides. One can adjust the insertion so at the end of it, the right second finger is covering this left front corner. But then we need to adjust the grip so the right first finger can swing the packet. Hollingsworth solves the problem in going fast from the end of the insertion to the swing cut, like in one single movement. I’m sure everybody who has worked on this move have encountered the same problem. There is some issues with the false complete squaring action descibed by Giobbi : there is a big angle problem. |

My main sources of card moves are Card college and Expert at the card table. I love to practice and improve my finger dexterity, even with moves I rarely use in performance. Currently I'm playing with the following moves:
Classic pass ("as a musician practices his scales" -- Greater magic, cited by Henry Hay) Double lift (several versions) Two second side steal (Marlo without tears) Bottom deal (several versions, including one-handed bottom deal, which is my favorite force, since my classic force sucks) One handed top palm Second deal Snap change Erdnase transformation #6 (one of my favorite color changes) One handed Erdnase shift (I use it as a flourish, instead of the Charlier cut, which I prefer to keep as a secret) Elmsley and Jordan counts Back palm (satisfactory with one card, but I still mess up when I try to produce several cards one by one) Erdnase one-handed transformation #1 (I'm trying to increase speed) Daryl's hot shot cut (For your entertainment pleasure, I'm trying to learn it) One handed riffle shuffle (I'm trying to learn it) |

Pierre, it sounds like you're a bit like me: into practicing sleight-of-hand (with cards) for its own sake, because its there.

I'm currently working on :
- Classic Pass (can't get it good enough to use it in front of an audience) - Jordan Count (need to get it smooth) - Bluff shift I'm also always working on several double lift even if I'm nearly always using LJ snap double for single, double and triple. |

Nevertheless, I'm trying to process the classics of the vast magic literature, and some of your books are definitely on my wish list. Thank you for the above recommendations. I must add, I'm a big fan of your Memory book and your 10 card poker routine! Peter |

I'm practicing DPS and Between sandwich trick.
DPS seems a bit more easy for me to locate the selected card on both the bottom and top.

I've decided this is the year for the Ambitious Riser. It's going to be my focus for 2019.
My plan is to use it for my ambitious card routine. I have a routine that talks about the spectator's memory and how I'm just taking the card out and putting it back on top without it sticking in their memory. This is an opportunity for me to do the move in pieces, but they still can't quite remember.
We should all be in a constant state of wonder

I am going to learn it." Then I though, "Hmm, I am learning the bottom deal, the second deal, the John Carney Versa Switch; I'd best remain focused." So, I have given up on the Ambitious Riser for now. I'd be interested in posts about your progress. I have not looked at the mechanics. I suspect, though, that there are similarities to something that Ouellet published in The Pass.

Time passes and priorities change based on new information. To whit, I am now practicing:
- Hammond Count - Pinky Count - Bottom Deal - Second Deal - John Carney Versa Switch - The Crook Second (Ouellet) I have abandoned pursuit of riffle stacking techniques for now.

Hello Shaun.
It’s a tricky beast for sure. I did pick up an amazing tip from Xavior Spade’s instructional video on his Lost Art Magic site. https://lostartmagic.com/products/xaviors-rise And that has helped me get the move closer to performance speed, but I’m running into an issue of multiple cards coming out along with the card I’m attempting to “rise.” But it just takes practice. I’m sure I’ll get there. I’ll PM my progress when I have any if you’d like. Best, Brandon

The double flippy move thing from AOA, where you flick the cards from deck to hand and hand to deck. Forgot the name of the effect but it's an annoying move to get down.

No worries Paul. Good luck to you. It's a move that I used to practice a lot. It blew my mind when I first saw it on the Tannen videos and I simply HAD to learn it.
I love those. |
