EMIL LAMPRECHT: Now I'm going to show you a trick that I call the two box snatch. Now, it's not actually a two box snatch, you're still snatching only one box. But now, you're snatching the box all the way on the opposite side of the pattern. Looks like this, and on the other side. Now, I'm going to put these on the ground to kind of demonstrate what's actually going on and break it down for you. Now, as you lift and release, both hands will come off the boxes, your right hand or your left hand whichever, will cross all the way to the opposite side and snatch the other hand's box. You'll then bring it around or under to this side. Your other hand will take the middle box is now the outside and this one will clamp the formerly outside box as the middle. Same goes on this side. Now, again, like the one box snatch, you're applying a lot of side pressure because you want to bring the two boxes that are not being snatched over to the center. It's unproper--if done properly, hopefully, your lift will be big enough and your snatch will be fast enough and it won't be a big issue. Important things to remember with this, a nice, big, even release. I'm, again, not the best at cigar boxes but that's what's important and do what you can.
