The special feature of this version of McDonald Aces is that all the cards are shown face-up AND back-up. McDonald Aces is a great classic of card magic: the four Aces are displayed on the table, each covered by three other cards. One by one, the Aces disappear from the three packets, and gather under the fourth Ace. But in the end, the Aces disappear from the leading pack and find themselves back under their original pack!

The magician discovers the card freely thought up by a spectator, under extreme laboratory conditions! A real killer! To buy an ordinary deck of cards click here.  

Two cards are chosen under laboratory conditions, and are lost in the deck. This one is divided into two piles, one face-up, the other face-down. The cards of each pile are now dealt together one by one. When one of the spectators sees his card, he has to say stop... and the corresponding face-down card turns out to be the other spectator's!

Larry Jennings' method of doing the Card Stab trick. A card is chosen, and lost into the deck. This one is wrapped in a paper napkin. The spectator pushes the blade of a pocket knife wherever he likes into the edge of the deck: and that's where he finds the card he'd chosen! To buy an ordinary deck of cards click here.  

A ++ version of the trick : Approximately how many? Some cards are ribbon spread on the table. A spectator is invited to guess exactly how many cards there are: there seem to be more than twenty. The cards are turned over: there are only four cards, which are the four Kings... which instantly metamorphose into the Aces! To buy an ordinary deck of cards click here.  

A coin disappears from the magician's hands, and ends up in the center of the deck... above the spectator's chosen card! The effect is repeated several times... but the last time, the coin is enclosed in a piece of paper, and when it is found in the center of the deck, the four Aces appear!

Dominique Duvivier demonstrates a new Eddy Taytelbaum’s wonder (no explanation). A coin passes through a small Plexiglas plate.  

You borrow a ring and a shoelace, the most ordinary. You announce that you will be able to put the ring on the lace, without the ends leaving the viewer's sight... A scarf is placed over the middle of the lace and the ring. The magician goes under the scarf, without the ends moving. And unbelievable: the ring is tied on the shoelace! You MUST try this clever trick.  

In the magician's arsenal, it is very practical to be able to "force" a spectator to take the card you want. Here is one possibility!  

Two thieves share a loot of seven ordinary coins. But the sharing won't be fair, because one bandit is more of a thief than the other! A nice little story to tell, while bluffing your spectators!  

A selected card is lost in the deck and then found in completely impossible conditions! The spectator randomly takes a group of cards from the middle of a deck of cards. He secretly counts the number of cards selected (for example, five) and then places them on top of the deck, while looking at the fifth card. To lose the magician completely, he shuffles everything again. Yet the magician manages to find the card that the spectator has secretly looked at! An incredible method. See for yourself!  

Something to have at your fingertips! This technique of Arturo Di Ascanio is an indispensable part of the magician's knowledge. Here is the principle: you show four red cards and, when you want, you can make a black card appear!  

You take out a black 7 and a black 9 and clearly lose them in the middle of the deck. Then with a simple magic gesture you find them in a flash.  

The magician takes out nine cards: three jacks, three queens and three kings and alternates them, jack, queen and king. They are put back on the deck. With a wave of the magic wand, the couples are instantly separate: all the jacks are reunited, all the queens and all the kings. It's amazing!  

The perfect combination of a Book Test and a card trick! The effect, as well as the techniques used, are subtly combined to create a beautiful routine! And it's very easy to do. So there's no more hesitation!  

A magician inevitably leaves his fingerprints on his deck of cards. So, when the spectator chooses a card and puts his fingerprint on it, the magician will only have to locate double fingrprints to find the card! Yes, the scenario is crazy, but the result is more than baffling!
