The "2 as 4 count" is a very versatile utility move which can be applied to any number of effects.

Peter goes into detail on how to grip the cards, make it look natural and even teaches you a little trick you can do with the move. People have been begging Peter to teach them his counts, that time has finally arrived!

To many, this will look like the flustration count but different. Many call it the FRUSTRATION count, so here's a good alternative to use in your effects.

length 2min 18s

The big holes in the cards make for a great visual change. It also is an interesting take on an old principle.

length 3min 33s

Four regular cards are shown front and back, only to have X's appear on both sides right in front of the spectators eyes!

You will need:

• 2-as-5 Count (briefly explained)
• Flustration Count

length 2min 11s

Four kings change to aces, the Pellikaan way.

You will need:

• double backer
• wax

length 3min 1s

Another epic effect by Peter Pellikaan – with an unexpected kicker!

You will need:

• three double facers (Queen/9H, Queen/9H, Queen/9H, regular 9H, four regular Queens)
• Cut Count (briefly explained)
• Elmsley Count

length 4min 23s

This is a signature effect from Peter, containing multiple counts and a surprising ending. This trick involves color changes of both the front of the cards as well as the backs. As a kicker, at the end of the routine you will be able to show four different backs all different from the ones shown to the spectators before.

You will need:

• 2 double backers
• 4 Jacks with different backs
• 2-as-4 Count
• Elmsley Count
• Pelli Spread

length 2min 19s

You will learn the Xerox Spread that allows you to spread five cards as four, hiding one - the second from top.

length 1min 45s

Cards shrink the Peter Pellikaan way.

You will need:

• four small jacks (mini cards)
• scissors and double sided tape
• 2-as-4 Count

length 3min 55s

A card keeps rising to the top from in between four blank cards, only to reveal that you have a few helpers: THE FOUR JOKERS!

You will need:

• 2 Jokers, 2 10 of Spades, 2 blank facers
• wax
• Cut Count
• 2-as-4 Count

length 3min 9s

Another Oil and Water routine from the creative mind of Peter Pellikaan. Openly mix the cards, and by just flipping some cards around - they UNMIX!

You will need:

• a split facer (vertically split in the middle)
• Elmsley Count
• OPEC Count

This is Peter Pellikaan's version and handling of a flushtration-type count. That is, you show the same card multiple times but due to the handling it appears you fairly show each card of the packet.

This is Eddy Taytelbaum's version and handling of a flushtration-type count. That is, you show the same card multiple times but due to the handling, it appears you fairly show each card of the packet.

You count 8 cards but in fact are only showing four cards, hiding four other cards in the process.
