que the montage music

I've been studying the Book Of Magic Bullocks hard lately. This book  has no real effects BUT does have some killer slights. Without a doubt it#'s the best guide to performing "The Pass" I've red. It recommends building up muscles in your hands with certain exercises. it also recommends training montage music from Rocky (it actually helps). As fun as it is knowing I'm working towards one of the 'Big Boy' slights I am itching for new  effects to add to my repertoire to stop it feeling stale (well stale to me at least). I think I'll be settling down with Tom Stone's Vortex again., IT has some lovely new effects however these too are  in the  the 'Big Boy' league.  It's always nice to learn a new slight whilst learning a new effect, however  THIS effect uses misdirection. Now you can practice the double lift or the Erdinase easily enough, you KNOW when the participant can see or not see the slight so you know when it's good enough, BUT how to you practise mis -direction?
