Magic Tricks

I consider myself a competent billet-worker, and have come up with my own switches, instant peeks and CTs. So I bought Julien Losa's oourses mainly out of curiosity.

I am used to reading or watching videos about moves I but it has been a long time since I replaced one I used with one I learned about. A very long time.

So I wasn't prepared to be so excited at the sight of the two switches Julien teaches! Unfolding switch? Folding switch? Ok, how is that better than what I can already perform?

Well... How can I write that not sounding like a teenage girl falling in love for the first time? It's... smooth, fooling, efficient... it really is the perfect move for the brilliant routines that are demonstrated in that video. I knew of Annemann's, but was impressed and feeling both joy and awe when I saw Nestor D's "Billet Chi" (first "wow!!!") and then Julien Losa's "SEE". Short, simple, powerful routines that are, IMO, instant classics! Like Annemann's or Bert Reese.

Ok, until a few hours ago, I thought I knew more than enough. I was wrong! The sequence "Unfolding switch" + "Folding switch" is a tool that has way more power than even its creator seem to realize! And I'm not writing this lightly.
