Hi,
If someone is called to the Torah to lift it for the hagbah rite, but he incorrectly begins to recite the "Barchu" that precedes an aliyah, he should simply say "Baruch shem k'vod malchuto l'olam va'ed," and then proceed with hagbah.
(Rivivot Ephraim 1:101)
Have a great day,

Hagbah when there are two Sifrei Torah
Hello,
On a day when there are two Torah scrolls, after we complete our reading from the first one we do not pick it up (for Hagbah) until the second one has been placed on the shulchan (reading table), so as not to leave ourselves absent from the mitzvah of the Torah reading.
However, we do not unwrap the second Torah until after the first Torah has been wrapped up; we do not overlap the mitzvot of the two Torah scrolls.
(Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 147:8)
Have a great day,
Mordechai

G'lilah and Haftorah
Hi,
The reader of the Haftorah may not begin the blessings to start the Haftorah until the Torah is completely wrapped, so that the goleil (person wrapping the Torah) will be able to hear the Haftorah and its blessings.
(Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 147:7; Mishneh Berurah 147:23)

Elevating the Torah [Hagbah]
Hi,
The person who raises the Torah for all to see should make sure that a seam (joining parchment sheets) is centered between the two rollers. This ensures that if the scroll should tear, the tear would cause the least damage and be easily repaired.

Who gets to pick up the Torah for "Hagbah"?
Hi,
"Hagbah" is the popular name for the practice of picking up the Torah and displaying it all.
This is considered a great honor, so much so that talmudically it was considered the highest honor of all the opportunities associated with the Torah reading. However, one should not accept the honor of Hagbah if he is weak, for one is supposed to hold the Torah aloft and display it to all in shul for a long enough time that they can really see (without necessarily reading) the text of the Torah.
