A nice switch by Ed Marlo. You switch out three cards from a set of four.

runtime: 1min 28s

This move allows you to show any number of cards as two in a deceptive way.

runtime: 1min 52s

This move displays one card three times such that it looks like you have three identical cards. It uses the Christ-Annemann alignment move.

runtime: 2min 20s

This is a very versatile switch allowing you to switch out one, two, three or four cards from a block of four. Allan got his inspiration from a 3 for 3 switch by Al Leech. One of the interesting parts of this video is that Allan shows the various transitions of his development going from Al Leech's move to Allan's final version.

runtime: 7min 36s

This move allows you to completely switch out a block for another set of cards, for example switch the four Kings for the four Aces.

Another way to switch out cards by Hartman.

runtime: 1min 42s

A classic move developed by two great magicians, Jean Hugard and Fred Braue.

Dai Vernon's version of the ATFUS achieves a much stronger illusion but is less versatile than Marlo's ATFUS.

runtime: 2min 43s

Fu-fu, or face-up face-up, is quite similar to the ATFUS and allows you to switch out a number of cards during a face-up display.

runtime: 2min 17s

The ATFUS or Any Time Face-Up Switch was one of Marlo's favorite moves. Literally, hundreds of routines have been created that use the ATFUS. It allows you to switch out one or several cards during a fair face-up display action.

runtime: 6min 33s

This is a fairly easy false count but nevertheless very deceptive. It allows you to count less cards than you deal on the table.

runtime: 1min 32s

This count by Brother John Hamman allows you to hide a block of cards.

runtime: 1min 12s

Use the basic Biddle action to count more than the number of cards you have or less than the number of cards you hold in your hands.

runtime: 1min 54s

This employs the Biddle move to switch out a packet of cards while showing them one at a time.

runtime: 1 min 49 s

Another switch of a sandwiched card by Allan Ackerman. It uses the same setup as the Switch Out Count.

runtime: 1min 21s

This is an idea by Steve Freeman to switch out one card that is sandwiched between two other cards.

runtime: 1min 32s

Another handling to use the Biddle action as a force.

runtime: 1min 5s

Essentially this is a reverse Biddle action where the Biddle move is used as a force. This idea was developed by Ed Marlo. (If anybody knows why this is called "Here's Hockley" please email us.)

runtime: 1min 45s

This is an extension to the Biddle Count allowing you to steal several cards from the cards shown.

runtime: 1min 17s

The Veeser Concept is essentially an extension of the Biddle Count allowing one to exchange a block of cards during a count.

runtime: 2min 12s

This is a wonderfully versatile count by Elmer Biddle. It is next to the Elmsley Count probably the most important count available today due to its versatility and deceptiveness.

runtime: 2min 34s

A nice little illusion showing four aces as five.

runtime: 1min 21s

This false count by Francis Carlyle is as Allan says "a work of art." It provides both a visual and audible illusion.

runtime: 3min 43s

This count deceives both the eyes and the ears.

runtime: 1min 18s
