The Double Lift is a sleight by which two cards are "lifted" and shown as a single card. It is referred to as a Double Turnover if the cards are immediately placed back on the deck.

The "concept" was first described in The Merry Companion; or Delights for the Ingenious, written by Richard Neve in 1716. The title was "To Fein to Change the Top Card of the pack to Another" (p. 141). Many magicians have published techniques for the Double Lift since.

Arthur Finley is generally recognized as the first to use a Double Turnover, where the cards are turned over and immediately placed on the pack.
