@@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!
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!!!
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!
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!!
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 ?
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?
Cant be early eneugh, loviing the butterfly cards i commented on awhile back, the worker editions feels the best tho compared to the belgium made ones (borderless)

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"

@@jasonirelan-ig5fl what’s this? I didn’t see this in the table of contents.
Harry meant in writing. It's obviously not that hard to teach on video. In fact, Harry has also taught it on video.
wow, so straightforward and clean,,, thanks Sean...

Yes I saw Vinny perform this years back .
That’s where I learned it. From Vinny!
Wonderful
Thanks for sharing Sean ❤

Amazingly great. Thank you Sean!
Really nice, I added this to my card techniques practice list.
Super clean... and easy... gonna be a user for me!
Boy, that's clean. And easy too.

Fantastic!
a move I had forgotten about .. Such a brilliant simple idea.
Got fooled badly, even at 25% speed. Amazing move...!!
Let's go to the Hop. Let's go to the Hop.
Thanks for sharing
Learned this from JP Vallerino latest book. I think he calls it the ping pong cut or something like that.

For this I give you subscribe. keep going bro😜
Another good one sean excellent work thanks fir shopping
Sean, do you have Steve Forte's 2 volume book Gambling Sleight of Hand? Man it has so much great material on Hops and Shifts 🙌

What about having the aces on top and making it look like you're cutting to the aces one at a time?

Very interesting 👌

#letsgetintoit 🤘🃏
its a nice move but i cant see any advantage to using over a simple false cut
You’re right. But it’s a fun move to play around with lol.
