Gordon Turnover

Gordon Turnover is a technique for a Double Lift, credited to Stuart Gordon, which was first published in Larry Jennings' The Cardwright in 1988.

Wesley James states in his book Enchantments that Earl Nelson recounts in 1974, when he relocated to California, that David Roth showed him the technique, crediting Stuart Gordon.

Ascanio liked that turnover and was known to say he wished he had invented it because it can follow the Ascanio Spread so smoothly.
