I recently got an old version of MacDonald's Aces that uses a gaff different than than one from ETMCM. I like ETMCM much better. It has DC on the instructions, as seen on tv and all. Nice effect, but I like the newer much better.

RiderBacks, as a magi I loved this -- but the thought occurred to me that this handling is designed especially for magicians who already know the effect.
Having said that, it was still pretty AWESOME! The move just shy of the 1:00 minute mark totally went by me the first two times I watched it.... Yowza. |

And if you know the effect and have some experience, you should know what's going on when you see it. But the stellar card-handling skills do, I confess, suck you in. =) |

I believe that the Dream of Aces routine was Gary Ouellets version. He probably worked with DC.

Still the best segment I love from the old DC show.

Resurrecting old posts is fun...
If I am performing a parlor show I would do McDonald's Aces with the gaffs... but if I am doing a close-up show seated with and possibly surrounded by spectators then I am going to do John Bannon's Bullet train and blow their stinkin' minds right out of their heads!

I like John Guastafarro's Famous Aces. It has a pretty good theme and the aces completely vanish instead of changing to random indifferent cards.

Close up I am doing it only with gaffed cards, but I am cleaning up with the Omni or Phantom Deck... before I start I let them choose a random card for "later" - Then I do Mc Donald's Aces. When finished, I remind them of the card earlier choosen and tell them to look at it and show it to everybody while I turn around.......... ....

The handling looks graceful and I particularly like the third of the three ace transformations. Since we're not in secret sessions it's not okay to comment on the key item in detail but I did like the approach to that moment in the routine. The premise that one can start on a closeup pad with just the props in place looks like the beginning of the routine is either missing or it's some setup. Okay, now for the view using mugglevision:
Ordinary folks might wonder why the aces weren't simply spread into formation and the others cards then dealt to make the four piles. Some folks notice when the face card changes under a card that gets turned face down. There's no uncertainty about there being aces in the piles so folks would want to pick up the cards to see of there were any stuck together. Likewise there's no reason to imagine anything but that the cards on the table were already aces. Graceful and clever in parts - not sure that's an improvement over the Garcia or Vernon routine when showing non-magician audiences. By way of contrast check out Brother John Hamman's Final Ace Routine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vev_mBud5hQ
