A better version of the Asher Twist performed by moi

Wow ! Nice done! I really love your videos! One thing to say... at one point, you can see "the magic happen", but only if you know (or just a bit) how to do the trick.

Nice but a few pointers. I don't know if you learnt it watching my video or not, but I do the Asher Twist incorrectly. The proper method involves a different type of spread (not sure if I can say it here) which makes the ideal cover for the move to happen. Also, just a little work needed on the TL. Make it natural and don't turn it over in that fashion. Would you turn over one card that way normally?

Ok Thanks I will work on that.

Thanks. Could you maybe PM me with the real spread used? Thanks for the pointers

Very nicely done. I agree with stevebo about the handling of the TL (mine isn't any better though). Also, when you've done your TL, it shows when you do the twist that the "twisted" card is VERY seperate from the others in the packet as they're spread back out. I'm don't think this will reveal any major secrets to your spectators but might tip them off to you doing something "dodgy" even though they won't know what it is.

I've developed my own handling of the Asher Twist which I will hopefully post in the next couple of days. I have good responses from lay people, but I think I could do with the criticism of some magicians. Mine uses a different spread to the original Lee Asher version too. I think it might be similar to this one but I'm not sure, it all happened so fast.

Okay. This is a really cool trick. You performed it really well. All I want to say is I love your music selection ( ) and it's kind of hard to see you do magic because a lot of your videos have bad lighting. I can make it out, but it takes me a minute to really figure out what's going on. Other than that, very nice!
Thanks,

Yeah My vids do have bad lighting. Its because I always film them about 7 or 8, and my room has bad lighting.

Thanks for the Comments!

The desk lamp is your ally!

I use my lamp! But then all I get is lots of shadows

Oh Well

Hot stuff! I like!

Yer, i love your vids too, although the lighting could be a little better, but its not really a problem. I thinkthe chioce of music on this one and your hot shot cut is very cool.
oh... and nice trick by the way. First part fooled me.
