This control is interesting in the sense that it is essentially a smooth and seemingly innocent way of accomplishing the same thing a double undercut can. If you are looking for something along these lines, then this is for you. I will practice this and possibly use it but there are easier ways to get a card to the top of the deck that work just as well. If you are of the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality, then this control won't do much for you because you already have a control you like. If you enjoy playing around with different ideas and tools, then this control will be a lot of fun to play with.



As far as difficulty goes, this is one of those "knack" things that once it clicks and your hands develop muscle memory, it will be second nature but I don't think that knack will take months to get. Honestly, a properly done double lift will probably take more practice than this to learn to do well. I poor double lift will be spotted easily. This has enough cover that you can be a little sloppy and still not give it away. It's a nice control but I do have others I will probably use just as much. I would use this one if I didn't want to shuffle the deck after insertion.
