Beautiful card handling Doug 👍 I practice the Elmsley and Jordan count everyday to keep the muscle memory fluid (like yours). Excellent trick. Thanks for the lesson 🪄

[@buongmg]

Tks ạ

[@robertgethner6144]

P. S. Not sure my "thanks" got crossed out -- I wrote dashes!

[@robertgethner6144]

Hi Doug, I'm a big fan of your teaching -- interesting, instructive, and funny. Clearly a labor of love. I've been working with the Hamman 2-as-4 count (aka DM count), and I wondered: what's the best way to keep the three-cards-as-one from spreading? --Thanks -- Bob

[@zbstudios8927]

This is great because I just got in my copy of alien autopsy from penguin, and didn't really understand how, so thank you doug

[@SevenTheJester]

I just made a set of 13 double sided cards to make up a Dazzle packet as instructed in volume 2, thinking it used the Elmsley count. I didn't realize I was wrong until it came time to perform the routine, then I had to dive back into Volume 1 to refresh myself on the Everchange. 🤦‍♂️😂 I couldn't agree more about his being a genius, though.

[@reuvengershon6625]

Thanks Doug. Great trick. Ill add it to my 4 card monte repertoire. Question - I do the elmsley pinching with my left hand and pulling off with right. You seem to do the opposite even though you are right handed everywhere else. Have I missed something?

[@DougConn]

I do the count with both hands / both ways, but there’s actually some advantages to counting from the right hand into the left (using the base of the right thumb to disguise indices when showing cards twice… This lesson might need to be for another tutorial!)

[@reuvengershon6625]

OK thanks Doug I'll take that into account. Love your work.

[@MegaGavinski]

Are you left handed, Doug? I’ve tried to follow this through and for me it feels more natural to pass the cards from left to right.

[@DougConn]

I do the count both ways Counting from right into left has advantages & so I advocate that path

[@corpselover450]

🤙🤙🤙

[@Ejohnd1]

I do not understood why the preferred way of doing the Elmsley count involves the left hand pulling cards off the packet in the right hand. Isn’t it more natural for (most) right handed people to pull off the packet in the left hand with the right hand?

[@DougConn]

Counting from right to left offer some advantages (in concealing the (duplicate) indices using the base of the right hand thumb) Also, I recommend learning the with both hands

[@ScottRSmith1964]

I have to ask, who’s the dude in the Komodo?

[@DougConn]

Rick Flair! Woooooo!

[@ScottRSmith1964]

I’m going to ask a dumb question. The only Rick Flair I’ve heard of was the old pro wrestler.

[@theoldman2821]

Kimono. "The Komodo dragon is the world’s largest living lizard. It’s a ferocious carnivore. It’s found on the steep-sloped island of Komodo in the lesser Sunda Chain of the Indonesian Archipelago and the nearby islands of Rinja, Padar, and Flores." -- Bob & Ray

[@NKellyMullen]

Awesome…please show more card trick reveals so the art completely disappears!

[@DougConn]

Well, considering this is the way the future of Magic learns, I like to think I’m actually keeping it alive… I get it: not everyone understands that

[@ArtOfMoney1]
