Please note: it is usually courteous for new members to introduce themselves before asking how tricks are done.

Even after an introduction, it's highly unlikely that anyone will actually TELL you how something is done.

Sounds like he's used a double-cacti palm lift to me. May well have been the single, but far more effective and convincing with the double.

I was thinking more along the lines of RANT, the Reverse Aardvark Nullified Thrust. but I can see where you're coming from..... :shock: (over there, through that door...)

Thrust? Surely he's not that advanced? Maybe the 'Crouch-In Deception', but certainly not the Reverse Aardvark Nullified Thrust. RANCID is much more commonly used than RANT.

Are you guys going insane?

What a load of codswallop...

Of course, the actual method (which I wasn't going to share, but I think it's only fair) is the A.R.S.O.L. move—the Aardvark Reverse Switched-Out Laterally.
As a substitute, you could opt for the Lateral Break-Out Wave (L-BOW) as an alternative, if your ARSOL isn't clean enough.

It makes sense really, because a RANT or a RANCID would merely leave the laymen AND magician not knowing their ARSOL from their L.BOW.

that may be true in essentials, but i belive, that afte reading the description of the trick in question, that he used the DAVP (Doublebacked Arrdy Vark Palm). I know this is advanced - but it is almost always impossible to spot - even for seasoned proffesionals like me and my mate David Blaine!

He might however have gone the simple route and used the SAVP (Singlebacked Arrdy Vark Palm) - but that would just be stupid...

It's times like there when I realise just how knowledgeable and skilled TM members are. It makes one feel so humble...……

Quite frankly you are all making the move far more complicated than it need be.
I would do the Thompson Offiah Serviette Sleight Entertainers Routine as i find it is the most effective routine for the Novice Kung Fu master
