Title: Most difficult move
Post by: NathanCanadas on April 25, 2012, 05:39:21 PM: I am unsure of where this belongs, but here is my question:
What is/are the most difficult move(s) that you know of. Also please mention if you have mastered them or not and other details.

For me, here they are:
1) Anti-faro (working on, far from having mastered it)
2) Clipshift by Chad Nelson (haven't tried)
3) Table faro (working on, not regularly though).

You can see my clipshift at about 18 seconds into this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6leKNnpXn3E

I have yet to even learn how to shuffle on-table, as seen in the beginning of this Ricky Jay clip.

You MUST have a traditionally-cut deck if you plan on doing it face down with any ease.

His brand of card control consists of moves that are among the most difficult moves you can perform in cards.
