Ladder escape is such a fun trick! I’m progressing nicely. It is just the right bit of challenge that it is hard, but not frustrating (yet.). Been working on it for about an hour. So fun!

> [@crococorey](#): > > Hey Greg (or YoNacho) how hard do you think superman is compared to Ladder Escape? I was thinking of trying it. After you won so handily and quickly, I haven’t really tried learning Ladder Escape yet. But even then, it’d be a hard comparison to make… I learned Superman when it was beyond my skill set-- it was a trick that pushed me forward. As such, it took a couple days of REALLY studying about 3 different videos (and getting what I could out of each-- the Vasek one was the most useful BTW) before I really understood what to do. As it turns out, there are a few ways to do the trick, but the way Vasek does it is also the way Jason Lee himself does it (more or less… Vasek does the Magic drop over 2 fingers, Lee uses his whole hand) and therefore I felt in good company when I learned it that way. :wink: Since you’re already at “Ladder Escape” skill level, you might find Superman pretty easy, requiring less than the few days I spent intensely studying it! – Trick I’m working on… Ladder Escape! Sort of. I don’t love the look of the trick, and since Corey already smoked me at the challenge I’m feeling demotivated. Haha! ---
