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 deceptivness.

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

From John Bannon's book Smoke and Mirrors here is another 2-4-4 count - a variation of Larry Becker's Mirage Count.

runtime: 1min 39s

The rumba count is designed to apparently show all cards from the front and back, but in reality one hides the backs of all cards but one.

runtime: 1min 23s

This is a 1-x-x count developed by Brother John Hamman. You repeatedly show the same card while tabling the others one by one. Very easy to do, but perhaps not that deceptive. Allan shares a nice touch to make this count quite a bit more deceptive.

runtime: 1min 40s

This is a 2-4-4 count developed by Ed Marlo. You show two cards at the same time, table them and then show the remaining two cards, all while you hide two of the four cards.

runtime: 49s

This is a Jack Carpenter variation of Larry Jennings' Rhythm Count.

runtime: 1min 29s

Here Allan Ackerman combines Dai Vernon's Optical Move with Larry Jennings' Rhythm Count to achieve an even more visual deceptive rhythm count variety.

runtime: 2min 1s

This is a 2-4-4 count and it can be used as replacement wherever a Gemini Count is needed. It is a beautifully flowing and deceptive count. By some accounts the best card count developed to this date.

runtime: 1min 40s

This 2-4-4 count was developed by Brother John.

runtime: 1min 48s

OPOS stands for Out of Position Olram Subtlety. It is a 3-4-4 count.

runtime: 1min 8s
