occurs when the first finger of the left hand presses against the edge of the face card and pushes it into the deck. To enable this action to occur, the face card of the double is pulled down a bit so the tip of the left finger can "get a grip on it" to push it into the deck. When the card was pulled down, in the presentation shown, the face card flashes as it is pushed into the deck destroying the illusion nothing was done. Some other handling must be employed or the deck should be tilted more toward the audience to cover the push of the card into the deck.
Push thru Change This sequence is not intended to be done during a formal magic show. Rather, it is something to do when a deck of cards is handy and an audience is present that wants to see something. Normally the deck is borrowed. A check is made of the cards to be sure the deck can support double lifts.

If you go over the sequence again, you will notice that a lot of effort has been put into keeping everything visible. That is, the hands are kept under the deck. If you take the top card off of a deck, insert it into the side of the deck, and push it through; you will notice your hand tends to cover the deck
