Vernon's Double Push Off / Lift, Related Techniques & Two Card Transpo 

Show me how to do it, explain in great detail, and perform it so smoothly it STILL appears to be be magic. Class act as always, sir. Prestidigitation at it's finest.

Great video very smooth double lift.... That Revolving Force is Sweet! That's going to be one of my favorites!

Super helpful Doug. I suck at double lift and have had to stay away from all beginner card effects that use it.

Cool.. Can't wait to dive into the sleight of hand course. Thanks again, gef

Great tutorial Doug. Always a pleasure watching you teach. Direct and to the point.

Effortlessly done! Thanks for the lesson Doug.

Well done 👍 thank you for an excellent tutorial Doug. I really appreciated you adding Blackstone's move at the end. Nice 😁

Lovely, thanks Doug.

Love the impromptu two card transpo. Tom Mullica used the Blackstone force regularly. Never saw it called out.

Cool tut ty

I have very small hands and cannot do a pinky count which would be incredibly ideal. What I have adapted to is what I call a cheat double lift. Of course many others have discovered this no doubt and I'm not sure if it is in print (probably so) but I have never seen it taught before and it makes it so much easier then doing the DL from the lower right side. Here goes... while holding cards use thumb to push over the top card "a smidge" onto top of middle and ring finger, the card below it (2nd card) will go along for the ride a little bit just enough to leave the 3rd card in place. While reaching for the CORNER of the top card put index finger far under it. In my case I immediately put my index finger anterior distal interphalangeal fold directly on the corner of the top card. Meanwhile, you guessed it, the tip of my index finger is acquiring the corner or side of the card below it. Once I have acquired it I simply slide/run all my fingers with the exception of my pinky up the two cards while my left hand is gripping the deck in dealers grip forcing both cards to become one. Done at speed it looks like all you did was push over the top card and grabbed the top card by the corner and flipped it over. As noted previously, the DL is always taught to grab 2 as 1 from the side which is nowhere near as easy to do as doing it from the corner. I would also state while I agree with Doug here that doing a DL and obtaining it via the thumb in the back is not the best looking DL I have seen Aldo Colombini do it numerous times that way and still completely fool his spectators.

Very nice Doug. What camera are you using that give pic in pic?

Excellent, one question is it me or this can’t be done with a brand new deck of cards?

Vernon mentioned in REVELATIONS: taking the cards off the side of the pack, you bend them. Which you do show us. That bow in the cards enables you to turn them back easier. When you repeat the move to turn them down, you bend them back, removing the bow.

Steve Draun double lift is riffling the back of the cards

Have you ever been called out for using that force?

I always feel like the riffle shuffle with the second hand is a big no no, but that's maybe because I know what's going on. Could be less obvious if during the presentation the magician is almost always with his 2 hands around the deck, but it's too obvious when the seconds hand for some reason goes into the deck. I have seen magicians with years of experience using it over and over, to me it looks really obvious, but maybe regular audience don't notice.

Hello and thank you for showing how to do the double lift. As you can do lots of different card tricks with that. 😎🎴
