No duplicates, no switches, no gimmicks, no sudden or awkward movements.

There are many ways to secretly bring a card to the top of a deck. You can use a double lift, a pass, a steal - or you can do something completely different...

From the creator of Vertigo comes a modern take on an underground sleight.

You show the spectator a card. You place the card in the center of the deck and push it in. By the time the card is aligned, it's already on top of the deck.

There are no doubles, switches, or gimmicks involved.

With High Rise, Rick Lax has taken a versatile principle to a new level. There are no sudden or awkward movements. The sleight looks clean and natural. Invisible and deceptive.

In 20 minutes, Rick will guide you through HighRise’s 7 phases. When you’re done, you'll be prepared to perform the move with confidence.

Are you ready to reach new heights? Welcome to HighRise.

The teaching in this download is excellent. He goes over everything in great detail. The only downside is, that it has some angle issues. But anyway a very deceptive control and worth the price!

I just downloaded this video and it is amazing. I never would've guessed the method he used until I saw it. This is definitely a move that will need practice but in the long run will be a great addition to ACR.

I use this with ACR all the time, and it is a great trick that people will not figure out how it is done, if performed correctly. I learned this when I first started magic, and it is one of the few sleights I still use.

It definitely takes some work but it's a great force for any trick!

One of the best tricks from Rick. It works nicely in your ambitious card routine or almost anywhere else. 10/10, I would buy again.

Looks really awesome, and is impromptu! Great job Rick!

A bit tricky, but a great one when mastered. Watch the angles, this is more for people right in front of you, not around you.

A great trick; a little hard to perform at times, as it is fairly angle sensitive, but a great way to control a card to the top of the deck.

Very nice! I use it in my own ambitious card routine. The idea behind it is so good. It isn't that difficult to learn but it does have some angle issues. Still love it though!

A good way to control a selected card to the top, totally worth it.

It is such a smooth and deceptive control. I actually use it as a trick alone as well as in my ACR routine. It's an absolutely fantastic download and the move is taught very well by Rick! The only issue is that this can only really be performed for one or two people! But I still very much recommend this as a download and for such a cheap price as well!! :)

Amazing! But this control can be a bit difficult to perform with small hands and is also a bit angle sensitive! But overall very good, in depth tutorial!

There are angle restrictions, of course, but some of the greatest illusions ever depend on angles. This is great, but I actually don't use it in my ACR or card to pocket like Mr. Lax recommends. I think it is so deceptive that it should be the stepping stone to a bigger picture. And given the restrictions, I sort of like this as an intimate trick. Mr Lax gives a great tip for how to do the move lower and how to angle the deck. Excellent purchase and you can't miss at this price. He credits various sources, or mentions others who have released variations, and I love the concept of this control. A brilliant, sinfully deceptive control, and above all else, slow and not rushed. One of the very best, from one of magic's most innovative stars. Great teaching!

After Shinobi Control, High Rise is one of the most practical ambitious card controls ever. A must learn for every magician.

I've been doing passes fairly successfully for this same effect but I loved the fact that you don't have to do any 'really fishy' stuff. It is super clean to watch. Others are complaining about angles but it really isn't any worse than a Marlo Tilt and in the video it is explained really well at how to control your angle for the veiwer. It will definitely take practice to master, but is super effective even without being perfect. Great buy.

Interesting control. It reminds me of Aaron Fisher's Illusion Control.There are some bad angles, but move monkeys (like me!) will enjoy this. 4/5

Love this control. Its not too hard, very deceptive and just simply brilliant. However, it lost one star due to the angle restrictions. Like Rick said, learn other controls too. Still, for the price, it's definitely worth getting.

Great control. Very deceptive.

Greatly deceptive! No matter how skeptical your audience may be, this will knock them out. However, the move in this sleight is a little difficult and kind of knacky. If you don't care practicing a lot, this would be your secret weapon for any routine.

This is very deceptive. It's awesome if you included it as part of an ambitious card routine

This is an amazing control, but I only use it for my ACR when people aren't convinced that I put their card in the middle. This control ROCKS. 4 stars because it is weird showing the cards like that unless asked for.

An amazing control but similar work has been published before.

This is a great trick! I use it as a control sometimes. I find that this move is not hard it just takes time to make it look as good as he performs it.

Very deceptive, and good. I didn't find this (or the Chip Trick) difficult at all. Very easy, and fluid - great for closing an ACR!

Yes, it takes some practice to get the angles right, but if performed in front of the mirror enough, you will soon get the idea. The effect is stunning and the look on spectators' faces is priceless! Nice work Rick!
