Default Ambitious Pop Out

After failing so many times at the ClipShift and the One Handed Popover move, I present to you...

The Clip's One Handed Pop Fail.

I meant to now. I accidentally came up with it while failing at the Clip Shift and Aaron Fisher's One Handed Pop Over.

lol, i see, i also had this move a while back, tho i actually keep the deck on my hand( since there were no tables), but making it fall is quite visual as well.

I'm also working on a pop out production, it's so hard... i call it the Pass-out move, if anyone can guess what the move is about just by the name, congratz.

I thinks its pretty cool, nice way to start an ambitous card routine.

Not that is matters but... dude your handling is bad! Why is this? Not your slegihts, their good but just the general way you handle cards.

Sloppy isn't necessarily bad, but the cards I am using are pretty bad. They're at the point where the boarders are gray, and the stock gives no resistance to a spring, at all. I guess that is just my style.

His overall card handling isn't bad at all. The failing pop-out kind of thingy was rather bad though (hence him calling it a fail).

To quote kieran "The general way you handle the cards is bad". He apparently likes the pop=out move.

I know. I just said I think it's the opposite way around.

Then again, different opinions vary. I frequently use this with no problem, my spectators like it, and I don't think I'll be doing the Pop over or Clipshift anytime soon...

Yes I like the move but its not something I would put my heart and soul into working on. What I mean by your handling is like the way you square the cards, I used to do it like that but then I practiced being smooth and elgant and a gentle and it looks much better aswell as it squares the cards neat and fast.

Okay, that indeed is a different opinion. I don't see anything wrong with the way of squaring up of the cards. As long as it's kept open and clean looking, it would definitely work.

The pop-out move however, since now I'm confused whether it was a fail or not, actually looks like a move. Leave out the waving and counting, have the spectators hold out both of their hands like a little table, then do it when just saying "Watch" or something like that. At least that's one way to improve the magic in the effect.
