Use a Hofzinser Card Control type action to control a card to the top.

runtime: 54s

This is a very clean force of a card close to the top. Allan also shares a subtlety by Jimmy Grippo to make this force look even more convincing and fair.

runtime: 1min 44s

This is similar to the Hofzinser Force with the difference that we are now forcing the bottom card versus a card close to the top.

runtime: 1min 2s

Use the Hofzinser cull action to switch a block of cards for another set of cards.

runtime: 2 min

Ackerman marries the Kelly Bottom Replacement with the Convincing Control to eliminate the telltale front finger movement of the Kelly Bottom Replacement.

runtime: 2min 9s

This is a bluff pass to bring a selected card to the top while it appears to the audience that you have burried the card in the middle of the deck.

runtime: 46s

The bluff pass is a very nice way to get a selected card to second from top when it looks like that you are burrying the card in the center of the deck. Allan also tips a bluff Kelly replacement - something to fool your magic friends.

runtime: 1min 42s

This is a turnover pass developed by Dai Vernon.

runtime: 1min 20s

This is a Herman style pass developed by Steve Draun.

runtime: 1min 5s

This is another Herman style turnover passe. You execute a pass while turning over the deck.

runtime: 1min 5s

You will learn two half passes, one by Henry Christ what is called the Christ Twist and the other by Ken Krenzel, the Mechanical Reverse.

runtime: 1min 26s

This is a sneaky way to get your key card in the fairest possible manner on top of a selected card.

runtime: 1min 20s

This is a very subtle way to place a key card. It is essentially self-working and wonderfully deceptive.

runtime: 1min 1s

A very nice multiple shift by Carmen D'Amico. With this move you can for example control the four aces to the bottom of the deck.

runtime: 1min 35s

This multiple shift is by Ed Marlo. It operates in two phases where in the first phase you bring the cards together that where inserted in different positions in the deck. And in the second phase you bring these cards to the top.

runtime: 1min 50s

Here you control several cards, say the four aces, during an overhand shuffle. It also allows you to get a break under the cards you control. This can be exploited to top palm these cards. This means you have not just controlled several cards, but also removed them from the deck.

runtime: 1min 59s

This move is done on the table. Allan teaches two variations, one to control the cards to the top and the other to control them to the bottom.

runtime: 2min 27s

You will learn two methods to put a crimp in a card without getting caught.

runtime: 2min 20s

The thumb fan is not just a nice display of cards but it also allows you to hide a block of cards. It is therefore not simply a flourish but an actual move that achieves something. Allan talks a bit about the philosophy of flourishes. Should you do them or not?

runtime: 2min 38s

The pressure fan is harder to learn than the Thumb Fan, but it also works with less than stellar cards. And the reverse pressure fan allows all kinds of cool effects, either to show a regular deck as having all blank faces or a deck with backs on the front and back sides of all cards.

runtime: 3min 23s

You will learn two types of one-handed fans as well as a one-handed close of a fan.

runtime: 2min 10s

It is what the title says, an overhand shuffle executed in one hand.

runtime: 48s

It looks easy when Allan does it, but this is a pretty tough move to do.

runtime: 1min 1s

The Charlier cut is a very easy and good looking cut. Allan also shows you how to turn it into a card control in combination with a bridge.

runtime: 1min 32s
