Aces In Their Faces is back! I loved this effect when it was first released. Then Bob put out a great video teaching it with some bonus handlings.
Then it became unavailable. But, that has changed. Bob reported the following elsewhere on the Café: "Hi Gang, The wait is finally over! I'm leaving for England tomorrow to perform close up and lecture at the International IBM Convention. Aces In Their Faces has been completely redone and is now an extremely comprehensive DVD. I"ll be showing the final routine at my lecture at the convention and at a lecture in Paris for Dominique Duvivier. The DVD has four complete shows that cover four different routines from the original Aces In Their Faces, through Aces In Their Minds which adds equivoque and an incredible new move, to Aces In Their Eyes which is done in the style of MacDonald's Aces but 1000 times more convincing because of the gaffs and some eye-popping manipulation. The last routine is the one I perform most of the time. It's a two phase routine that combines Aces In Their Eyes and Aces In Their Minds. This is the killer. In fact it's a MacDonald's Aces killer. The vanish sequences are absolutely test conditions, visual as it gets. The first vanish sequence actually allows the spectators to handle the gaff. Very sneaky stuff. The two phases combine to cancel out any thought of gaffs and you get the credit for being an incredible sleight of hand artist. The good news is all of the routines are easy to do. The release contains the traditional Aces In Their Faces cards but they've been improved. The gaffs are now "pointer" cards on the faces which makes everything so much easier. There's is also a new included gaffed card that makes the reset for all of the routines instantaneous and simple to do. The training is intense. It's finally on DVD. Nothing is left out. Running time is 1 Hour, 34 minutes. Many shots are over the shoulder so that you see everything from your perspective. The only thing better would be to come to my house to learn the routine. The work is explained in "Building Blocks". All of the routines share the same set-up, opening sequences and reset. Once you learn these you're ready to do any of the routines at any time, Each routine has it's own strength and purpose. There is something here for everybody from new beginners to seasoned sleight of hand experts. The routines are great for magicians and even mentalists. All is revealed. The DVD will be released by Murphy's Magic Supplies Worldwide and will be in the stores by the end of October. If you want to be among the first to get it you can send $25.00 to my PayPal account at: bobkohler@cox.net and we'll cover the shipping and ship you a copy on Oct. 9".

I just received the DVD and cards. While generally the same premise, I think there are some unique differences between this and McD's aces which opens a lot of new possibilities depending on presentation and venue. The DVD also shows some slick moves that you can use for other presentations as well. I had the original Aces in their Faces and this is well worth purchasing as it brings it to a whole new level. The DVD is exceptionally well produced and Bob is, as usual, a superb teacher. This will not replace my own unique McD aces act, but it will be fun to do when someone asks to "see that again" later on (almost the same effect+ totally different working=really amazed spectator).

Yep thanks to Chris for keeping us informed on this. I too received mine and happy I purchased it. I have the original routine Bob put out a while back but the dvd does have some good information on it.

I also have my own McDonald's Aces presentation that I've been doing for a long time and will never replace. However, the display moves / vanishes of the aces in Bob's routine look like real magic. IMO, it beats McDonald's Aces, in that regard.

I think the Lennert Green subtelty that is tipped allows a degree of spectator interaction (if you choose to use it)that takes it ever so slightly above the Mc Aces. Actually the whole routine offers a nice spectator interaction obviously. I think we all have our presentations for Mc Aces (and I will continue to use mine also) but I really have enjoyed the moves and vanishes for Aces in Their Faces that have been mentioned on the dvd.
