These two moves are perfect for the card magician that likes to play with chaos. The Rosetta will
definitely be the easier of the two to get down, and it looks super beautiful to display absolute
anarchy amongst the cards. I love it.
The one two separation will be harder to pull off if
you can't justify doing it, but the end result if done correctly opens up a whole new world for you
if you love out of this world type effects or effects that would require a red/black stack, usually
you would have to do that work before hand or even carry around another deck. This technique will
free up your pocket space and if done right, you can do something that the spectator could never
backtrack with literally ANY deck.
Erik is a god send because lennart really doesn't offer
much in this video in terms of what you're actually supposed to do. Erik comes in after his
performances and breaks it down with great camera angles and explained everything coherently.
Overall, I'm going to need to really work on the 1 2 separation before I'd be ready to actually
perform with it. But that's okay, nothing great comes easy. But the Rosetta will be something I
utilize right away.
Thanks.

Whoosh! I was totally picking this up to learn The Rosetta Shuffle, and as much as I love it, I
simply cannot stop doing the 1-2. I have been playing with it nonstop all week. So many ideas I have
for this, I can barely keep up with myself.
If I were to rate this, it would be a solid
7/5.

Erik Tait's description helped clarify Lennart Green's methods. The false shuffle is looks great,
but must be done on a surface. The separation method is quick and effective, but it does not seem
'natural'. However, I have not tried it, so perhaps audience members will be amazed or at least not
believe someone could rearrange the deck so quickly.

Arrangements by Lennart Green is quick, to the point, easy to learn, and should be added to the tool
belt of any magician. It utilizes some very basic principles that refreshingly do not take weeks,
days, or even hours to learn. But these principles combined with your own creativity or even just
the tricks Lennart shows you, can pack a serious punch! Even when you know you are doing the false
shuffle, it fools your own eyes.
As I watched the video, I had a note pad open and began
writing down all the possibilities that were coming to my head. If you are a student of mnemonica,
the rosetta shuffle can be a powerful accomplice to show that the deck is in fact randomized.
The simple technique he teaches of arranging the deck into separate colors is so genius and easy
that you'll wonder why you haven't learned it your first week of practicing magic. If it is your
first week, I highly recommend investing $10 on this gem of knowledge. You'll never forget how to do
it. And the practical technique is resistant to perishability if you allow your cards to gather dust
now and then.

The Arrangements download is worth the money. Here is a warning - the 1-2 separation is addictive
once you have it down. If you are the kind of worker who likes color separation and setting up a
stack in new deck order for Juan Tamariz's Mnemonica, Aronson's Stack, or Woody Aragon's, you will
find yourself executing the Lennart Green separation over and over.
Erik Tait is a great
addition to the genius of Lennart Green and helps bridge the language gap with practical approaches.
Thanks, Penguin, Lennart Green, and Erik Tait.

My title says it all. If I had known about this long ago I would rule the world.
I'm
baffled at how simple these concepts are as his work has mystified me for years!

Thanks to Erik's video and fool us performances I became fascinated with Lennart's work and moves.
So, when Erik teased this on his Instagram page I knew I had to buy it and boy, this is gold.
First of all, the 1-2 separation, wow! *chef kiss* so good! so deceptive! At first, I thought
that my friends will catch it pretty easily but man I don't think so.
The Rosetta shuffle is the
one I was worried about because Erik mentions that the standard version requires soft surface which
I don't have most of the time. BUT!!!!! Erik's handling work pretty well on a hard surface so I will
be using that as well
Great techniques!
Great teaching Erik!!!! so good to see you on
explnation!
(Hoping for a deep dive download on the snap deal :) )

This is a way to toy with the cards and separate them into 2 groups. You can disguise this as part
of your presentation, or just toy with then as you make conversation.
It's useful, it's
good. But it's not Lennart Green's most powerful hidden secret to total desk arraignment.
I
still recommend it. But buy the technique, not the hyperbole.
