I love audaciously obvious moves, sleights so bold that even other practitioners are looking for something that isn't there. ❤

For real lol, I thought Lorayne threw the card up onto the other half with like a finger flick or something hence "The Hop"

@@ZacharyLasserre I can't even remember where I learned this, but among my favourite top controls is to get a spectator to cup their hands while I clumsily dribble half the deck on top of the selection. They're so busy trying to figure out how I'm going to locate their buried card, they don't even notice that I put the **top** half in their hands and dribbled the bottom half. All it takes is the misdirection of asking them to hold their hands a little higher or lower. 😆🤷♂️

I first read this in Harry Lorayne’s Quantum Leaps by the name of Lorayne’s Invisible Pass Routine. His first sentence is “I honestly think that this is impossible to teach.” 😅. It’s a pretty crazy read and watching him do it is crazy as well. You taught this version well, and good extra subtleties!

Harry meant in writing. It's obviously not that hard to teach on video. In fact, Harry has also taught it on video.

I saw Harry Lorayne do this over and over, with several magicians standing over him. So good. I think he threw the first half down from a few inches, which misdirected the eyes towards the dropping half. And Lance Pierce's handling is even better. I use it now regularly in a couple of card tricks.

Brilliant move. As for my history into it, I first saw it performed by Vinny Marini, aka The Grandfather using the Hop control in his card to hanky trick. I quite liked his rendition as well. When he separates the 2 halves secretely snatching the top card , he doesn't chuck down the half pack. He moves the top packet away with one hand and slides the top card of the remaining half off a little as a convincer. Then he brings the two halves together and squares the cards. I quite like that.

I learned this but by clipping in an erdanse style grip/clip but now that I see this there really isn't a need to clip as long as you pop up the corner just a tad with your middle finger. Thanks as always Sean!!!
@jaywaters32884 ай бұрын
What I've actually been doing alot lately is just doing a slip cut to the table. Works just as well but not nearly as invisible (or as silent) as this. Gold!

Thanks a lot Sean for this card control tutorial ! I'm going to use it in my routines from now on . I use a very good card control from red Nist totally invisible and bluffing that you can find in his book : redemption : Pure Ambition , maybe you know it ?

For me these outrageously bold moves, switching or snatching, top change and so on before the very eyes of the specs are the most sweaty and dreaded. Even though they are NOT difficult moves!!

Learned this from JP Vallerino latest book. I think he calls it the ping pong cut or something like that.

Another great find by you, well taught. Playing with it, I began to wonder if it would help sell the deception to tap or push out the "top" card of the tabled packet after the lift (before or after transfering to the top packet). The video clip examples showed a little of that misdirection. Or do you think that's overkill?
