I looked at the table of contents for Best of Benzais and didn't see a multiple shift in there.

Benzais Multiple Shift for in the hands. Nash multiple shift on the table. The Benzais multiple shift is fantastic. It looks like you just cut the pack and yet the aces, formerly spread through the pack, end on top.

John Bannon teaches it in Dear Mr. Fantasy if memory serves.

Do you mean the Elias Multiple Shift?

Τοο much information! Many thanks to all of you guys. Iam already working on Vernon's multiple shift. Also Harry Lorayne's halo aces 2 is really diabolical!

Benzais does have a multiple shift. Check out p.36 Four of a Kind in The Best of Benzais.

Sorry, Leo. I wasnt going to spell it out, but, since you insist on playing hard ball...
I said it first.

The Braue Secret Addition (as noted above by Harry Lorayne) is one I have been playing around with - a really easy way is to "tilt" the one real ace your left with, and "pretend" tilt the other indifferent cards, ie. actually put them in the rear of the deck wherever, one at a time (you can only flash the one ace, of course, which is perhaps less visual than other shifts). But the order in which you insert the cards can vary, of course (flash the second or third one).

Similar to but (I think) superior to the Elias multiple shift is the triple false shift taught by Paul Wilson here: http://shop.dananddave.com/triple-false-shift.html

I used to do the Elias. Now I almost exclusively use this one.

The Wilson sequence looks like the Elias with an extra cutting sequence. The execution of the Elias MS appears to be a cut by itself. I'm not sure how much the extra cuts help the deception. I do like the way RPW's version looks, though.

Wilson's move is really good and clean. Thanks Jpleddington!

Agreed, Mike.
I prefer the Elias.

Mike and Mr. Fish:

It seems to me there are two advantages of the RPW version:

1. The side-jogged cards never appear out of alignment with the rest of the pack during the cutting sequence. Admittedly, though, this is easily concealed -- or avoided with Bannon's refinement (which, however, requires side-jogging all of the cards below the selection closest to the face of the deck). Still, as a result, the triple false shift has better angles and (perhaps) increased naturalness. That said, see my caveat below.

2. It is a false cut, which is a very nice advantage when working with a stack, or executing multiple multiple shifts, etc.

But here's the caveat: you might think that triple-cuts are by nature more suspicious and less natural than apparent straight cuts. So, I can imagine conditions under which the Elias shift would be preferable.

Not playing hard ball, just checking for a pulse.

That RPW multiple shift looks interesting. Thanks for the link JP!

Hello guys. Any suggestion for controlling the aces after losing them in different parts of deck?


Get it before the sale ends today and it will still be half price (although it is worth every penny at full price. Also get 1 & 2 together and save)

"Aces Up" in the first download is pretty much the effect you are describing (and the method is ingenious)

I just purchased 1 & 2 for $5 total. I think this is the last day of the special. "Aces Up" is worth the price of admission by itself. As Poof-Daddy mentions, the method is ingenious.

Jason,

Your Nash Multiple Shift and your Riffle Stacking were executed flawlessly.
