Hey guys,
Does any one know how to do this move? I just went to Lee Asher's site but the clip on this move is not available anymore :(. I never got to see it being performed b4. does anyone here have the clip? can anyone do it?

I think its a cool thing to master. i doubt its gonna be easy though. :P

Would surely like to hear if u guys know how to do it.

Hi MagicB,

The name of the term sounds new to me. Yeah! I think maybe I have the clip, is it what you meant the Asher's DL???

If what you said was true, yeah, his double lift very impressive. B)

Speaking of DL (sorry for being off topic), I really dislike Jay Sankey's... Man, it may have fooled lay people, but magicians who are familiar with the move? Well you just have to see it yourself ;)

agreed...I dislike Sankey's DL coz it looks as if he's peeling the cards....
but maybe it's just my point of view as an hobbyist magician..to lay ppl perhaps it looks perfectly normal....

Check out Darwin Ortiz's advice on the pinky count....It can be found in his At The Card Table book and video i think...
IMHO, pinky count is one of the most basic, but a very cornerstone kinda sleight...enables you to get a break invisibly to do a DL

When I first bought "Focus"...i didn't quite do many tricks in it coz it requires you to get a break under 4 or 5 cards sometimes...and I don't quite like the idea of spreading 4 cards, and square it to get a break...
but since I learnt the Ortiz's pinky count...I was able to enjoy more of the tricks in Focus!

just my 0.02 Indonesia Rupiah..:D

Just get Asher's Diving Board Double manuscript off his site here... I don't have it yet but you know anything from Asher's gonna be good.

As for video clips, you can always check out KC Ujishima's site. He has two Diving Board Double videos, in which he does the sickest stuff with them. I can do both the acrobatic and non-acrobatic versions reasonably well, I guess... Bone's another guy whose DBD is flawless, so if you ever meet up with him you should ask him to show it to you. He probably does it as well as Asher himself.

Sankey's strike double is really really really bad. Actually, strike doubles are really really really bad. Even Vernon and Doc Daley himself disliked them, which says a ton about the move...
