Firstly, I anticipate that it's angle sensitive - your clip was from above, so what's it like from the front?

Secondly, your clip had music in the background - what's the noise like when the twist occurs? I anticipate that there may be a giveaway sound so how is this reduced or masked?


1) It is fairly angle sensitive. From the front, you can see what's going on. Unless it's just that I've never learnt it properly.

2) The noise can be masked. There is a section on Lee's site which gives tips on how to mask the noise. I don't have too much of a noise when I do the twist. Another reason why I put music on was because I thought the music matched and my mic doesn't work well lol.

yeah, I agree with stevebo. It's a nice video-show-off move, but i would never do it in a calm silent sorrounding. The noise of the moves will most likely expose what you do.

I can do it with out a sound. Maybe I have found a different move that works in just the same way, because I can do it without a sound, and it looks exactly the same as the one of Asher's site.

rcarlsen and Stevebo, if you PM me I'll tell you my method

That was really good. The only part of that I figured out was the vanish at the end. I have so much to learn.

If you actually think about the trick, and what the trick does then its pretty simple to figure out. Just keep watching it :D

After several million viewings of that video, I've got some rough ideas on how it worked but i haven't a clue how to do them. I might buy some of his stuff, it's pretty nifty.

Kudos, once again on the video Stevebo, even the things I think I may have figured out were completely invisible if they are what you actually did. You rule!

I was exactly the same. I found it not that difficult to figure out because I had your video and Lee Asher's video to watch.

Just try them, and think of moves you already know.

I don't know the this trick but I know one thing if it needs to be seen from above just hold your hands lower.

Cheers,

Asher Twist can be done on front angle, so as long it's not completely level with the cards. As long as they are a bit higher and your cards a tilted forward in the direction you want to cover from, if done well, it can be covered.

Anyways, a lot better than the first one. The twist with the Ace of Clubs at the end, try lowering the ace further down. I caught you flash. :? Sorry for being such the odd one out. :(

Anyways, I liked the vanish at the end, but do a second part vanish to it when you show your other hand. It removes any idea that it could be fake. :P
