This is a very nice and deceptive multiple lift by Carmen D'Amico.

runtime: 1min 13s

This is Ackerman's variation of an Art Altman double lift. It can also be applied to multiple lifts and makes for a very 'light' and fair handling.

This is a little convincing noise that you can add to a double lift to subtlely underscore that it is only one card.

You will learn two more push off double lifts, one by Dai Vernon which is probably the most naturally looking one.

This subtlety will make it much easier and cleaner to turn back a double lift.

These double lifts start out essentially like a push off second deal, but have an added square up motion to display two perfectly aligned cards. Allan teaches two push off varieties.

This double lift does not need a 'get ready'.

This is a basic color change to change the top face-up card of a deck.

runtime: 52s

This is a color change by Max Malini. A slap on the face of the deck changes the card.

runtime: 35s

By simply dropping and turning a deck, you change the face card twice.

If you don't know what distinguishes a Change from a Switch you might want to listen to this video clip. Allan demonstrates the difference between a Change and a Switch. We are talking pure terminology here - no moves will be taught.

This is similar to the 3-Packet One-Handed Cut except that you are pulling out 2 packets from the deck, rather than one.

runtime: 40s

The middle section of a deck is swivelled out and cut to the top.

This is a one-handed cut from Expert at the Card Table by Erdnase.

runtime: 43s

This is a fun little action to add on to a Charlier Cut.

runtime: 58s

This is a fancy multi-packet false cut.

runtime: 2min 44s

The Charlier cut is a very easy and good-looking cut. Allan also shows you how to turn it into a card control in combination with a bridge.

runtime: 1min 32s

It looks easy when Allan does it, but this is a pretty tough move to do.

runtime: 1min 1s

It is what the title says, an overhand shuffle executed in one hand.

runtime: 48s

You will learn two types of one-handed fans as well as a one-handed close of a fan.

runtime: 2min 10s

The pressure fan is harder to learn than the Thumb Fan, but it also works with less than stellar cards. And the reverse pressure fan allows all kinds of cool effects, either to show a regular deck as having all blank faces or a deck with backs on the front and back sides of all cards.
