Mastering the Double Lift Ebook


$24.95 USD

Mastering the Double Lift by Michael Close follows the format of our previous sleight-based ebooks on the faro shuffle and palming techniques.

The double lift is a core move in myriad card tricks. Now you can learn to perform this move naturally, deceptively, and confidently.

Three practical double lifts, six get-readies, and four real-world effects are taught using the perfect combination of text, photographs, and videos.

Don’t be satisfied with “just good enough.” Take your card magic to the next level.

Michael teaches not just the mechanics of a sleight; his instruction helps you learn how to learn, allowing you to perform the sleight deceptively and with confidence.

Michael discusses three practical methods for the double lift:

The Vernon Light Lift
The Pseudo Push-off Lift
The MC Spread Double Lift.

PLUS six different double-lift get-readies!


And, as a BONUS, four practical, real-world routines are included.

The twenty thousand words of text are accompanied by eighty-two full-color photos and thirteen videos. The combination of text, photos, and videos provides a level of training second only to private instruction.

Hundreds of methods for the double lift are scattered throughout the literature. No one but Michael Close provides you with such a logical system for learning and mastering this valuable sleight.

As with our other ebooks, you’ll receive both an EPUB file (created for reading on tablets) and a PDF file (perfect for your computer and for printing).

Mastering the Double Lift - a wonderful resource

I purchased Mastering the Double Lift a while ago and I've been slowly working through it. I really appreciate Mr. Close's pedagogical approach. It has made learning this so much easier. I also really like the mixed media format. The video examples are really helpful. Thank you, sir, for creating such a useful and informative tutorial.

A bargain and essential

I learned how to faro shuffle from Michael's CD-ROM (remember those?) and have also learned a ton from his books and DVDs over the years. I am just getting into this ebook, but it is a godsend and typically Close-ian -- thorough, practical, step by step, every nuance thought out and addressed, well-demo'd and well taught. I've consulted any number of sources on the double lift over the years and feel I will finally confront and correct my not-great double and triple lifts. The combination of written instruction + theory with step-by-step video links is the way all moves should be taught. So much better than DVDs or books alone. I agree wholeheartedly with Nathan Coe Marsh's rave review in the March 2022 Genii: highly recommended, pick of the (any) month. 99% of all magicians should get this and improve their technique. Thanks, Michael.

Highest Recommendation

This is a wonderful e-book for studying deceptive, learnable, and reliable double lift techniques. The material will look familiar but a careful reading gives details not present elsewhere. So, what you’re paying for is Mike’s experience and tutelage on how to learn the material. His guidance has helped me with these techniques and thinking about other sleights. I wish I had this book years ago. The tricks are terrific too! Mike’s blocking for the Fingerprint Trick is direct and clever. Thanks, Mike.

Mastering the Double Lift

This is the book I wish I had come across when I first started learning magic. The book clearly explains many tips to perform this "basic" technique effectively (Personally, I think it's a very difficult technique to do effectively.) The text and videos are well linked, and anyone can understand. Beginners, as well as advanced students, will learn a lot from this book. I am having a lot of fun practicing DL with this book.
