Default Martin Lewis Spinner



Soo, I really was not thinking when I rambled on and on with the patter.

Also... apparently if I wear WHITE with the WHITE light on... I get better framerates on my webcam! Next time, I'll be sure to get a better angle, seeing as it would look like I was trying to cover up the bad control with cropping..

Albert, I didn't know I could do it myself.. I saw the move a year ago from Oz Pearlman's demonstration. I was like, "I COULD NEVER DO THIS"... Last week.. I saw the video again, and I try it again. My fingers must have adjusted to handling cards much much more after a long period of practice... strange, huh?

That happens very frequently. You can't do a move one day but then you try it again some time later and it works =D

My spin is really inconsistent, sometimes I nail it but mostly the card just falls to the floor at a horrible angle - very annoying

Back then, I really couldn't perform it at all... now, I get it about 90% of the time... I hardly practice. Plus, I could always use it as an alternative to Martin Lewis' Spinner .

Nicely done! But.. why calling it a 'Long Distance Spinner Variation'? It doesn't seem anything like it.
Isn't it just an ordinary 'Martin Lewis Spinner', perhaps just done with a different finger? You performed it exactly like that too.

It must have been my misinterpretation. The Long Distance Spinner seemed like that at the time to me, and then I saw your video. I wanted to replicate the MLS, but I wouldn't dare name it on the same level. I wasn't 100% sure if it was your method or not. I changed the title though.

Is there a source in which martlin lewis spinner can be learnt or have people worked it out?

according to the description of Mark's original MLS video, the spinner is found on
Ricky Jay's "Cards As Weapons", but the control is Mark's original idea( which according to him, came from Blind Square)
