Great review on one of the most visual transpositions, in your hands magic. Its a masterpiece that will become a classic of magic. I've heard women shriek or say words I can't repeat here. I've heard guys say "If you can do that I'll buy you a drink!" and then when it happens they say "Holy %&*#. I've gotton excellent tips because of this effect. Seige is correct is his review I was stunned when I first saw it and the moves are not that intimidating with practice and some hard work. Get it now!
Cheers
Al

Already done it (about 30 seconds after I posted) :oops:

I really must stop reading your reviews, Mr. J - you're almost as evil, in a CUPS-inducing way, as that I.D person :evil: :wink:

Thanks very much for the answer. When I go to magic shops or magic swapmeets, I just want to buy everything I see. It isn't reasonable or practical but I sometimes get something I wish I thought about more. I bought a flipper coin and the instructions said the rubber is easily replaced. Well, not so. You must take it apart and then glue it back after the replacement and it doen't work quite the same. So, I fall into that catagory.
Anyway, back to doubleback, the only thing that might be confusing is the photos marked figures 7,8, and 9. The hands keep changeing positions and it does'nt make sense to regrip the cards. I just slide the bottom card to the left and with the right hand turn the top card over and place it under the other card. with practice the DL from the bottom will come easier and it is never questioned. We sometimes worry too much about being caught out. Weird that I said that because I worry too much sometimes. I really like this effect and I often hear people say, "Thats immpossible!" I tell them, "And yet you see it."
Thanks agin
Al

I think I type like a redneck or my spell check is broken. I'll go for the redneck because I cut my grass and found two decks of cards and a dove pan.
