I know, I know, a DL question. But I did a search first and can’t find the answer.
On Penguin Magic’s site, the Color Monte handling in video demo differs a bit from the written instructions. One of the things that impressed me in the video demo was Oz's ability to turn over the top card (a DB). He gives the packet a little squeeze, and pulls off the DB diagonally. I've tried this, but can't seem to get the knack (partly because it is not simply a double. Those who know the trick know what I mean.) Does anybody know where I can learn this handling? I believe it's one of the things that really sells the trick. The video is here: http://www.penguinmagic.com/product.php?ID=185

Thanks. Silly me, I just read the instructions. Can you recommend books that teach variations like that? Card College?

I know what you mean, cloneman. His move is different from the standard handling. I don`t know where this is taught, but obviously it is not that difficult. You need to practice, though. Keep it up, buddy.

Thanks. I'd love to find a good reference for pack trick moves.

You mean a reference only for packet tricks? This is hard to find I would say.

You're looking for Counts, Moves, and Subleties by Jerry Mentzer. It has all the counts and moves for packet tricks and other stuff. Its a green booklet of about 80pgs. Has a lot of useful info.

Ideally I'd get something which references various DLs (as posted above), displays and counts (beyond Elmsley, Hammen, and Jordan). I'm considering buying Card College, based upon the recommendations here at the Café.

R. Paul Wilson has a great handling of this effect that is much cleaner.

Probably OZ use what we called buckle move. with that you be able to get a br**k above the bottom card and now it's very easy to execute DL.

Hamman count, Elmsley count, Jordan count, Vesser count, Flustration count, Olram subtley, Ascanio spread, Buckle counts. And on and on. And it shouldn't cost you more than 10 bucks shipped. Vandy

I explained in a PM, but this is bascially Nash's knockout double done with the alignment move to allow it to be used from the bottom.

By watching Oz, I was able to reconstruct what he was doing. The problem I found with this D.L. move is it creates a small gap between the cards. I even noticed Oz flashed this as well.
I'd be interested in what R. Paul Wilson does, as I'm playing around with a similar routine called Two Wrongs don't make a Right. Rick
