Mayhew Poker DealAllan Ackerman This is an idea by Steve Mayhew. He turns the classic Triumph effect into something entirely different. A face up half of a deck is shuffled into the other face down half. The performer then demonstrates center dealing only the face up cards. The last face-up cards coming out of the deck are the four aces leaving the performer with only face down cards.

Card in WalletAllan Ackerman The 'card to wallet' effect is one of those all time classic magic effects. It is probably the best application for palming. A spectator freely selects a card, signs it, shuffles the pack, and magically the chosen and signed card ends up in a zippered compartment in your wallet.

Card Under DrinkAllan Ackerman The 'card under drink' plot was made famous by Heba Haba Al (Al Andrucci) in the 1960s. Ever since it has been a favorite of bar magicians all over the world. Here Allan teaches a version that uses a misdirective idea by John Bannon. The effect is clear and devastating. A chosen card unexpectedly ends up under a drink (glass, can, etc.).

Ace AssemblyAllan Ackerman Spectator cuts the deck into four piles of approximately the same size. Performer puts one ace on each pile, assembles the piles and without any funny business the aces end up at the very top of the assembled pile.
This is an application of the Benzais cop. runtime: 59s | 2009 / 6 / 15 | $4.00 £3.25 €3.62 C$5.31 AUD$5.83 ₹276.80 CN¥27.52 JP¥442.14 R$15.40 | to wish list MP4 (video) | ||
Stop!Allan Ackerman Spectator chooses a card, remembers it, and the card is lost in the deck. Then the performer places cards one by one on the table until the spectator says: "Stop!". Magically the spectator has stopped exactly at his chosen card.
This version of the Stop trick uses the Benzais Cop to achieve the effect. runtime: 1min 49s | 2009 / 6 / 15 | $4.00 £3.25 €3.62 C$5.31 AUD$5.83 ₹276.80 CN¥27.52 JP¥442.14 R$15.40 | to wish list MP4 (video) | ||
Benzais Oil & WaterAllan Ackerman The performer hands 6 cards to a spectator who arranges the cards in red-black alternating order. The performer openly counts those six cards to the table. Once the cards are ribbon spread on the table the colors have, like oil and water, separated.
This is a very clean sequence that can be added to most oil & water routines or performed stand alone. The oil & water effect is an Ed Marlo creation. This version uses the Benzais cop to achieve the effect. runtime: 1min 28s | 2009 / 6 / 15 | $4.00 £3.25 €3.62 C$5.31 AUD$5.83 ₹276.80 CN¥27.52 JP¥442.14 R$15.40 | to wish list MP4 (video) | ||
Cards AcrossAllan Ackerman This is a routine Allan Ackerman developed in the early 1970s where he tried to achieve the cards across effect with as little motion as possible. He also added a visual card vanish. Later Paul Harris took this routine and turned it into his famous Sleeper routine.
A spectator picks a card. A second spectator cuts off a small portion of the deck, counts the cards, and puts the counted cards in a safe place. The performer then attempts to magically add as many cards to the second spectator's pack as the value of the card the first spectator chose. runtime: 6min 43s | 2009 / 6 / 15 | $4.00 £3.25 €3.62 C$5.31 AUD$5.83 ₹276.80 CN¥27.52 JP¥442.14 R$15.40 | to wish list MP4 (video) | ||
TravelersAllan Ackerman This is the classic travelers plot from Dai Vernon, based on a handling by Jon Racherbaumer with some changes by Allan Ackerman. The four aces are lost in the deck at four different locations. You then pull out one ace from your right jacket pocket, another ace from your breast pocket, the third one from your left jacket pocket and the fourth one is left in your hand while the rest of the packet has magically traveled to your jacket pocket.
