Yo guys! I was reading through ECT, and I came across the "Side Slip". Is this the same of similar to the Side Steal?

I keep coming across moves in this book under different names, but many of them look similar to sleights common now days. Great read by the way. Highly recommended. You would NEVER find this many sleights and performing tips in a book now days.


Cheers

Hey,

To answer your question, the side slip varies greatly from the side steak in my opinion. Although it is different from the side steal, I highly suggest you use it and practice it. I use it all the time to control a card to the top. With a bit of misdirection, this is a beautiful move. I personally use a variation of Malini's side slip. I mold it to my performing style.

Hope this kinda helped and have fun practicing the move!

Bingo, scarecrow. You are discovering what takes most people years to discover. Too many people are surprised that the clever, mind-blowing, revolutionary ideas from that latest release date back almost a hundred years in many cases. Too often these are the same people who have ignored classic texts as well.

You're right, the Side Slip is the predecessor to what we would now call the Side Steal. There are many methods, but the basic idea is usually the same. I had a quick read through of my copy just now. Keep in mind that names do change over time - for example, the Charlier Pass has undergone several name changes and is now the Charlier Cut.

Suhaas, why do you think that it is different? I called it a predecessor above but as far as my (admittedly imperfect) goes, it more or less appears to be the same thing (but I am happy to be corrected if wrong).

Also, what's a Side Steak? :p

P.S. Yes, I'm aware of the irony of posting on the benefits of knowledge whilst simultaneously asking for clarification on said knowledge. Shush. I'm a mentalist. :p

Scarecrow, you probably have the Dover 2nd edition, while Read is fortunate to have the out of print 3rd edition. The 3rd ed has extra chapters by Vernon and Daley, which the 2nd lacks.
