Number of Effects: 11
Difficulty: 2-3

Dunbury Aces (Charlie Miller/ Dave Lederman)

You have a spectator select a card, and then return it to the middle of the deck. Now the cards are mixed and the magic begins. Micheal cuts the cards, and now he flips over the top card to reveal a card, which tells him the colour of the card, and then he places it on the table. The next card he turns over tells him the suit, but when he turns it over it’s the spectator’s card, but he doesn’t realise and he sits it on the table. Now the next card he turns over tells him how many cards down in the pack he will have to go to find there card. He turns a 3 and then counts down 3 cards, asks the spectator to tell you the name of the card, when they say the name Micheal acts a bit surprised, turns it over and it is their card, and the 4 cards left on the table are 4 aces.

Your Signed Card (Brother John Hamman)

This is a great follow on to the Dunbury Aces. You take the 4 aces and sit them to the side, now you find a ‘Paradox Card’, which sits the full trick at the other side of the table without being touched by Micheal. Now a card is selected and signed. Now you pick up the aces to show the 4 of them, then the specs signed card is set to the front of the pile. Now just by counting them, the specs card disappears, and you go through again and show 4 aces. Now without touching the card, you scoop it up using 2 other cards, turn it over and the Paradox Card you set there earlier is the specs chosen card.

Ambitious Classic

Micheal opens this routine by doing a bit of an ambitious card routine, but that isn’t necessary. Now you take out the ace to 5 of any suit, and and show them to your audience. You take the top card the ace, put it into the middle and it jumps back to the top. This is then set back on top of the pack. Now you take the next card the 2 and put it into the middle of the small pack and it jumps to the top, you then put it back into the middle of the packet and again it jumps back to the top. This card is now set back on the pack. Now you turn over the cards, and explain that how when there as so few cards left its impossible to manipulate the cards, but when the cards know they are being watched, they behave strangely. You square up the cards and then open them and the 3 has turned face down. You take out this card, turn the pack face down, and put the face down 3 pack into the deck. Now just by squaring them up and opening them again the 3 turns face up again. This card is now set on the deck. Now you show the last 2 cards the 4 and the 5, and place the 4 onto the bottom, and then again it jumps to the top. You now set this card onto the deck. Now with the 5 left, you explain how this is infact the most difficult card to get to the top, because if you do it wrong it changes into a …(turning the card over at the same time) …joker. Now you can reveal the 5 is on the top of the deck.

JC’s Super Closer (JC Wagner)

Here you begin by cutting 4 small piles of cards onto the table. You give a pile to the spectator to shuffle and at the same time you shuffle a pile, and you place them back down. Now you take the other 2 piles give one to another spectator and again you both shuffle them. Now you turn over the top cards of each pile and find them all to be aces. Now you gather up the cards, and put a small pile behind the ace of diamonds, another pile behind the ace spades, another pile behind the ace of clubs and another pile behind the ace of hearts. Now the rest of the cards get set to the side. No u place the first ace on top of the first pile (hope this doesn’t sound too confusing) and a spectator cuts cards off the pile next to it and sits them on top of the first ace. This goes on till all the aces have been covered and the pile u set to the side just goes on top of the last ace. Now when u spell out the name of the first ace, when u get to the last letter that ace is there, so u set that down on the table with all the cards that were used to spell out its name behind it. This goes on with all the cards and then when there are only a few cards left, you spell out the suits, say clubs is first you then come to the kind of clubs and so on till you have come to all the kings, now when u turn over all the cards in the pile behind the aces, it is the rest of that suit, which makes a ‘super closer’.

Reset (Paul Harris)

Here you begin by removing the 4 aces and the 4 jacks, Now you show the 4 jacks and place them on top of the card box. Now you show 4 aces and now the magic begins. First one ace changes for a jack, and then by the end all 4 aces have changed to the jacks from the box. Now you push them through your fist and they change back to aces, and you can show that all jacks are back on the box. Everything can be examined.

Untouched (Daryl)

You open this effect by thinking of a card and have the spectator read your mind, after they start laughing, you do you want proof or something, when they say yes the effect begins. You give the pack to the spectator and from that point on you don’t touch the pack again. You have the spectator hold the cards up facing you and they go through the pack till you see your card, and that gets placed down onto the table. Now you have the spectator deal a small pile of cards from anywhere in the deck on to the table. Now this pile is dealt into two piles, and the two top cards are turned over. The first card tells them the name, and the second card tells them the suit. And when you turn over your card it’s a match.

Lazy Man’s Card Trick (Al Koran)

This is a great effect because you are so ‘lazy’ you never touch the cards and this effect still works. You have the spectator select a card, and then return it to the deck. Now you instruct them to cut the pack a few times, and then u ask them to count down a certain amount of cards, low and behold the last card they come to is there chosen card.

Rubber Band Surprise (Al Koran)

You have a spectator select a card, and then u put it into the middle of the deck. You then wrap the deck up in an elastic band. Now you cut the cards within the elastic band, so they are now well mixed. You now place the packet on the table, and the spectator puts their finger on top. Now when the take it away, their card jumps out the pack and reverses itself. If the elastic band is tight enough it actually looks like the card has just jumped out of the deck and turned itself in the air.

Card Through Table

The title of this effect speaks for itself. You have a spectator select a card, and then return it to the deck. Now you put your hand under the table, they can feel it to make sure nothing is there and then the place their hand on top of yours. Now when the spectator presses the cards it passes right through the table and into their hand.

Dr. Daley’s Gambler vs. Magician (Dr. Jacob Daley)

You open by telling the story of a gambler challenging a Magician, to do something with a deck of cards. You explain that the gambler challenged him to cut to 4 of the same card. The first one you cut to is a king, the next 2 are also kings, but when you cut to the last one it turns out to be an ace. Now you stroke the rest of the cards with the ace and those all change to aces. Now you explaine how the magician was challenged double or nothing to find all 4 kings, he picks up the deck, ripples the side, and said found them. You then spread the deck to show they have all disappeared from the deck. Now you discover each of the 4 in different pockets.

------------Bonus Effect-----------------

Factory Misprints (JC Wagner)

You bring out your deck of cards and say that the other night when you were about to perform the other night, you opened up a brand new deck to discover 4 blank cards. You bring them out and begin to ‘Print’ them as you needed a full deck for your performance. Your go through and one card prints, then the next card prints, and then the last 2, all into four 6s in my case. The cards can all now be shown back and front with no funny designs in sight.

Comments:
This has to be one of my 2 favourite video from this series. I have used every effect from this tape, and each works very well and gets great reactions. Micheal has to be the best teacher I have seen. Everything is very well explained. This video is excellent value for money, and is a must have volume from the easy to master card miracles series.

Overall
Over all this video gets 10/10, as there is not one bad thing about this video.

Dunbury Aces (Charlie Miller/ Dave Lederman) sounds good, i ll check it out

I'm a massive fan of this series. My favourite is Volume 9, the most recent. It's just full of really strong effects, many of which I use all the time. This volume though (4) has got some great tricks on it too. My favourite would probably be the Gambler vs. Magician story/effect.
