Check out the double lift used in the ambitious card sequence here: http://www.cardma.com/Video/facedownsilversurfer1.rmThat's Lee Asher utilizing his Diving Board Double to great effect. The technique is now taught in a PDF file available for instant download from LeeAsher.com. The cost is $12.95. The move is taught in great detail in the e-book along with the Acrobatic Diving Board Double in which the double card is flipped into the air, yet still lands together on top of the deck. The technique involved in the Acrobatic version will take considerably more practice to perfect, and it will probably not be something you use for a lay audience. Even Lee Asher admits that this is not a move he performs at a professional gig.
The real value for your money is the original Diving Board Double. If you already perform a good double lift, it's not that difficult to switch to the Asher version. However, the get ready may be a little more difficult for some. After playing with the double for awhile, I finally decided to stick with my standard Strike Double Lift for most of my performances. You, however, may feel differently.
If you want to perform the Diving Board Double, this e-book will undoubtedly teach you everything you need to know. Put in some practice time and you'll be on your way. However, here's the real question: Is it worth the money to "upgrade" your double lift? Well, that's up to you. Some like it's flourishy look, some don't. You'll have to make your own decision about how you want to present yourself as a performer. If it looks like something you'll use, buy it. If not, don't waste your time. Sounds simple enough doesn't it. Recommended if it fits your style.
