    I got it! I can push over two cards now and here's what I learned: It's all about WHERE you touch the two cards with your thumb. I mean where on your thumb, not where on the cards. Experiment with places - as he says - between your thumbprint and your nail until two cards start sliding over as one.
    For me, it is where the nail goes into the skin on the left side, i.e. if you were clipping your thumbnail, it would be the farthest left side of where you clip. Important point: Don't roll your thumb over (so that the thumbprint starts to touch the cards) otherwise the cards will split. You have to keep that one exact spot (that you found) in contact with the cards.
    There, my contribution to humanity. Well, that tiny, weird slice of humanity that is learning card magic, I guess. Now all I have to perfect is how to keep the other cards from sliding over, which according to Alex, is a matter for the fingers of the left hand. If anybody has any hints on how to master this, please let me/us know. Thanks and good luck, people!

      Can u help me...i do have a problem ....when i push over ..three card comes squared up..and i use my other fingers to pull the 3rd one....but when my Spectator looks at the deck when i do the push over.... they see one card(3 card squared) and suddenly one card is push back slowly and one card(2 card stick together) is pushed out ...and when i do the double lift ...they say that ..its two card...and it only happens when i do the ambitious card routine ..cuz ..thats when we do the double lift ...many times...how can i rectifie this...and moreover..i can ony push off cards when i am looking at the deck ...cuz if i look at them and do the push over ...more than 3 will be pushed out....so when i look at the deck..they start to stare at the deck and ...call me..out...
      Note: my card doesn't split..both card stays together exactly like one ...yet they catch me...how can i rectifie this.
      .please reply me

      @@thomasd1479In the beginning it's good to start with a new deck. First thing. Second thing: use skin moisturizer before handling the cards. Third thing. Film yourself practicing without looking at the deck until you get the "feeling" of the double lift. This isn't unlike learning to play piano while reading sheet music instead of looking at the piano. Lastly: PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE.
      When you get frustrated just remember: Alex went through these steps too. If he can do it so can we.

    This is an amazing tutorial. Every since I started magic I've been doing the Daryl double since it was the cleanest DL for me given that I could have never figured out how to do a pushover DL. After this video, it was the first time I was actually able to get a somewhat presentable push-over. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

  • @mikefishermagic
    @mikefishermagic 6 ปีที่แล้ว +112

    the double's one of the most common moves, but arguably the most difficult to do well. Simon Lovell picked it as his most difficult sleight saying something like, "When was the last time you really watched someone do it and fool you with it?"

    thanks so much for an awesome tutorial!!!! i've been searching for a while now for a good method that is both convincing and simple. a tip i came up with: when turning over the two cards, if you grab them with thumb and middle finger on the short sides, flip it over while putting pressure on the long edge of the cards into the deck. this helps to square the two cards together much easier. hope that helps!

    @MrKeith75 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    A very important point that you didn’t mention but do sooo well is you turn the double exactly as you do the single. Not only that but you also do it very natural as if anyone would grab a deck and turn over a single card. Those little things you do make you just that much better than everyone else in my opinion. Thanks for the video Alex!!!

The idea of not getting a pinky break to do the double lift suits me, since i still can't manage one really naturally :) I tried what you said and I must say, i'm gettting better results than when I tried to do it without having considered the pivot at the base of the thumb

    Hi Alex. I can do the pinky count double pushover like the Russian Genius performs it in no time and very clean too... but I have such a hard time to learn the pushover you are teaching. But I think it's a very good move and I am ambitious enough to learn it too. I guess it will take some weeks to handle it smoothly. Thank you for the great lesson :)
    Joy to you.
