Simon Lovell's Work

[JC225]

So a friend of mine recently loaned me a couple of his past projects (a couple of DVD sets, and a book) and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised with his work. I really don't know much about him and I certainly couldn't name any of his past work but his second deal along with some of his other handlings and sleights were pretty impressive.

He's a little quirky and takes a minute to get used to, but am I missing anything and are there any other recommendation s for his past stuff?

Thanks.

If you like second dealing... Get his book The Art of Second Dealing. I used to own it. Don't know what happened to it. I found my niche anyway I am pretty darn good at a move called Up The Ladder!
Here is a tutorial on the move. I would put it up against Area52 tutorial.

Hey Gabe,

Thanks for the insight, I really appreciate it. I just grabbed a copy of the book and it will be here Monday! I love the Push-Off second deal he does in "Gambling Moves With Cards" and the book should be a great companion to the dvd's.

Up The Ladder is such a great cut! So beautiful and deceiving when done well.

Anytime. I was diagnosed with Schizophrenia back in 2008-2009 I picked up Up The Ladder 2013 and have been practicing ever since. Here are some of my favorite clips out of ~2000 clips that I have posted on Youtube.

With the exception of the first one which was supposed to be this one:

. Just slipped my radar.

Hey Gabe,

Nice Job! I love the look of the cut's especially when your using your "Bee cards", they just flow.

I love the channel and you have some Chop's!

Thanks man!! Enjoy the book. From my recollection it has pretty much every second deal you can imagine! Not that it makes a difference, and not to toot my own horn, but what makes what I do all the more impressive is that I have schizophrenia(Mental Disorder) ... It's sort of my coping mechanism.

Hey Gabe,

It looks great, and I'm so glad you have magic and card work to help you. If it's helping you cope, than it's good medicine my friend!

Have ever seen, or possibly have Simons "Toolbox" dvd set? I grabbed a copy of the "Gambling Sleight's with Cards" set and came across "Toolbox" in my search.

It looks pretty good and I wanted to ask if you have any thoughts on that one?

No ,I have seen some of his work online like clips of his Expert at the Card Table DVD with Wesley James but I am not familiar with that one sorry.

Hey Gabe,

No problem at all. It's like six dvd's and looks like it has a lot of information so I thought I would ask.
