Magicwiia, I came up with a packet trick that mimics whiplash with no gimmicks. In any event it requires a double lift from a pack of 4 cards, and I initially had a problem with this. I covered the get ready with patter : "At the end of this trick every one says I had more than 4 cards I don't and I count the cards (this does revers them). Then I spread the 4 cards saying "Only 4 cards" as I put the packet back together I get my break.
Even 2 years later when I can do a push of DL, for this one trick I use the same get ready. |

Thank you for sharing. I've been trying to do the double lift without a break. An instantaneous DL. It's becoming clearer to me I better adjust my strategy and start using a break until I'm farther along the experience timeline.

That's the great thing about Hamman's technique, there is no break, no buckle, and no double push off.

When doing this small-packet DL technique, is it easier with a new or used deck?

The cards can be older or newer. Preferably not too sticky however. You'll want a deck in decent condition.

I found the following resource fun and really helpful: www.edhassmagic.com/eds-head. For this thread's topic, look for February 2014.

Bob - That is an amazing resource and find. Thank you! I just spent a little time with it and now understand the move. I have seen or read several other resources regarding the small-packet DL but none described the move in such vivid detail.
This is a treasure trove of sleight-of-hand moves which are described and illustrated. An Index is included which makes finding a move easy. The 4-card packet move is now bookmarked specifically and the main Table of Contents, generally. Thanks again Bob, you're the best!! |

Very glad to be of help, Magicwilia. People have helped me *a lot* during my two years on the Café. If I can help others occasionally, even at my "toddler" stage in magic, I'm happy.
