Postby Mikey.666 » Sep 30th, '06, 12:01



hey guys. i decided to learn a couple of variations of the d.l, since it has become a popular debate on the forum.

any comments or tips are welcome.

cheers :)

They need some work mikey, they are a bit slow and unnatural looking, try to relax more.

Also, we can clearly see your 'get ready' for the move and it looks pretty obvious what you're doing.

I don't know if you've read it before, but THIS thread is very useful indeed, and is full of useful information. Also, if you read down to Katrielalex's first post, there is a link to a video that you might find useful, kindly made by Tenko :D

i know on the first d.l it is obvious. but i would hide that under patter and misdirection. i haven't got a clue as to do it with people staring at the deck, so any hints would be useful.

thanks.

Try to pinky count or thumb count, or just a quick thumb riffle. You can also do it without a get ready if you learn strike dl, or push off dl.

yeh man. i know. i read through it all. i've been focussing on the end to end double. after looking at myself and filming me turning over one card many times, i am able to do it with two cards now. and it looks pretty natural. meaning my bro didn't twig, and he's the biggest eye ever.

the links don't work unfortunately. i dont no if its just my p.c or wht :?

i just need to work on the first double in the video. i can't secure the break without making it obvious, thats my weak point now.
help please...
