This is a Herman style pass developed by Steve Draun.

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

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.

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

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

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 were 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.

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.

If you don't know what distinguishes a Change from a Switch you might want to listen to this video clip. Allan demonstrates the difference between a Change and a Switch. We are talking pure terminology here - no moves will be taught.

This double lift does not need a 'get ready'.

runtime: 1min 8s

These double lifts start out essentially like a push off second deal, but have an added square up motion to display two perfectly aligned cards. Allan teaches two push off varieties.

runtime: 1min 27s

You will learn two more push off double lifts, one by Dai Vernon which is probably the most naturally looking one.

This is Ackerman's variation of an Art Altman double lift. It can also be applied to multiple lifts and makes for a very 'light' and fair handling.

This is a very nice and deceptive multiple lift by Carmen D'Amico.

This is an application of the [lp16424 Spooky Altman Trap] with the Bottom Double Drop by Brother John.

Two tips on how to improve your multiple turnover moves.

Blowing on the top card changes its face. Allan also teaches how this method can be used to prepare for a second consecutive color change.

runtime: 1min 8s

This is a pretty color change that is self-working. It can also be used for a change out. The underlying principle was first discovered by Alex Elmsley. Ed Marlo turned it into a self-working color change.

It appears as you are kicking out cards from the center of the deck, when they in fact come from the top. A very visual and useful deception.

runtime: 1min 23s

This is a great and visual revelation of a reversed card.

runtime: 1min 21s

This is an amazingly easy but equally deceptive card revelation that can be done over and over to reveal a sequence of cards.

runtime: 1min 20s

This visual and simple ace display was worked out by Lee Asher, Darin Martineau and Allan Ackerman.
