The double undercut is one of the basic utility moves of card magic. It allows you to move cards from the top to the bottom or vice versa. It can also be used as a card control. Allan teaches you both, the in-hand and on-the-table varieties.

A block transfer is to move one or several cards from one half of the deck to the other half, leaving everything else unchanged. The transfer can happen on the top or on the bottom. This is a riffle shuffle technique very useful for riffle stacking.

The purpose of the riffle shuffle stack is to place special cards, say the aces, at special locations in the deck so that during a dealing action those aces end up in a predetermined pile, usually the magicians hand.

For example, if you are dealing a five hand pocker game and you start out with the aces on top, riffle shuffle stacking allows you to place aces at position 5, 10, 15 and 20 from the top. In this video Allan teaches you how to stack two aces.

You will learn how to effectively combine faro stacking with riffle stacking. Allan teaches a wonderful effect "The 10-Hand Poker Deal Demonstration" where the spectator chooses the hand that should receive the 4 aces. No false dealing is necessary. Everything is accomplished with stacking.

The Elmsley count, developed by Alex Elmsley, is probably the easiest and most deceptive count there is. Allan calls it 'the monster move of the 20th century'. Countless of routines have been devised using this move. The most famous of all is Twisting the Aces by Dai Vernon.
