The tutorial explanation is awesome. Great effect.
Bakersfield • Apr 10th, 2021The 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!
Vienna, Vienna • Apr 13th, 2017This is a complete game changer.
Israel • Oct 15th, 2016I 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.
Massachusetts • Sep 10th, 2016This is amazing to use with your ACR and you won't regret purchasing it. Rick Lax teaches it in detail! BUY NOW!
Illinois • Nov 3rd, 2015I 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.
New Orleans • Oct 10th, 2015It definitely takes some work but it's a great force for any trick!
Utah • Nov 10th, 2013this is a great trick kind of hard to master %100 but easy to master %80, buy it now, you'll love it!!!!
the woodlands • Oct 22nd, 2013One of the best tricks from Rick. It works nicely in your ambitious card routine or almost anywhere else. 10/10, I would buy again.
Slovakia • Aug 11th, 2013Looks really awesome, and is impromptu! Great job Rick!
Canada • Jun 11th, 2013A bit tricky, but a great one when mastered. Watch the angles, this is more for people right in front of you, not around you.
Australia • Jun 2nd, 2013A 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.
United Kingdom • Apr 20th, 2013Very 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!
Israel • Apr 5th, 2013A good way to control a selected card to the top, totally worth it.
Peru • Mar 4th, 2013It 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!! :)
England • Feb 17th, 2013Amazing! 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!
Australia • Feb 16th, 2013Real worker for Ambitious Card effects - SUPERB!! RECOMMENDED!
Malaysia • Jan 20th, 2013There 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!
OH • Jan 15th, 2013After Shinobi Control, High Rise is one of the most practical ambitious card controls ever. A must learn for every magician.
India • Dec 17th, 2012I'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.
USA • Dec 5th, 2012Interesting 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
Atlanta, GA • Nov 11th, 2012Love 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.
Singapore • Nov 7th, 2012Great control. Very deceptive.
London • Nov 2nd, 2012Greatly 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.
Japan • Oct 19th, 2012This is very deceptive. It's awesome if you included it as part of an ambitious card routine
London • Oct 12th, 2012This 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.
Denmark • Oct 3rd, 2012An amazing control but similar work has been published before.
Earth • Sep 28th, 2012This 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.
USA • Sep 28th, 2012Very deceptive, and good. I didn't find this (or the Chip Trick) difficult at all. Very easy, and fluid - great for closing an ACR!
USA • Jul 5th, 2012Yes, 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!
