I have checked all settings to make sure the gesture is enabled. I have also tried deleting the bluetooth magic mouse plist in my username/Preferences folder. No matter what I do, the gesture won't work.
FYI it did work for a few minutes after installing Lion, but now I get nothing.
MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7)
Double Tap is not same as Double Click.
Need to gentley make two taps without clicking. Cheers.
I also have this issue and have done the same with deleteing the bluetooth magic mouse plist file. I have also run the terminal command killall Dock and this does not resolve the issue as well.
At this point I am at a lost why this gesture ( or any of them) work with my no so magic mouse 😟
Searching google shows this to be an issue for quite a few people. Would love to see a response from Apple.. otherwise Genius Bar here I come...
The misson control or the two-finger swip to get the widgets does not work on the magic mouse. I have tried all of the things mentioned above but it still doesn't work. The other odd thing is that it works on another account on the same computer/same mouse. I have checked to make sure the preferences are the same on both accounts. I'm at a loss.
Figured it out - it is just a 2 finger tap not a 2 finger click - if you hear the click, you've pushed too hard. Just gently tap the mouse - voila! works almost every time.🙂"
Thanks Jim Mingin!! That was it! 🙂
I guess we all need to pay attention to the difference between "Click" and "tap"
Mouse not responding - Fixed!
I rebooted my MagicMouse. Turn it off. Wait 10 seconds. Turn it on. Things back to normal.
Rebooting our devices fixes so many things. If our computers are acting wonky, reboot them. If your internet connection is wonky, power cycly the modem and routers... ethernet hubs and wireless routers too.
I need to remind myself that wireless keyboards and mice are little computers too! Reboot them occasionally.
Enjoy!

Double tap de magic mouse for mission control, is that or nothing, it doesn't work like the trackpad.
it is a little sensitive that mouse. or not enough. try magicPrefs (free) and it will boost sensitivity on installation, and that might help ya. good luck!
Great tip with magicPrefs!
MIne had just gone too. No apparent reason...
Try "soft" double clicking with two fingers. Doing this with one finger will zoom in and out of screen (in steps) ...
here's what i did. RIGHT CLICK on system preferences icon at the bottom. click on "mission control" then change it from the double finger click toooo whatever you want. I put mine as F5. very easy

Thank you this fixed the gesture problem!
Great advice. Tapping gently near the middle of the mouse works every time for me.
