Any suggestion's on how to lose the Aces or any group of cards into the deck and still keep them in control. I have been just throwing the aces on top of the deck and a few random false shuffles proving they are generally lost. I would like to shuffle them in individually. Thanks in advance

Do a multiple shift before you false shuffle

Dai Vernon's Multiple Shift if in the hands or Martin Nash's tabled Multiple Shift. You can find references on Conjuring Archive. Just search Multiple Shift.

There are good ones in Less is More by Benjamin Earl and more important Ben goes into the psychology of loosing a card.

Depends on the effect you want to convey.

The easiest way without learning a new techque (though you should) is to put an Ace on top, false shuffle. Then repeat the process 3 more times.
This will look like shuffling Aces 1 by 1 into the deck. Alex Hui

Braue Secret Add-On, adding three X cards onto the aces as you show the aces. Then top three apparent aces lost/separated into the deck - fourth ace second or third from top. Overhand injog shuffle.

Harry, Thank you, and Merry Christmas. Do you have this method on any of your tapes or books. Thanks

Oops;I did omit one thing in my post. When you complete the Braue Secret Add-On (aces face-up on top; break under top 7 cards - lift the 7-card batch and thumb peel the face-up aces onto deck one at a time, left thumb aiding in flipping each face down - last ace is a 4-card packet; flip the ace face down after dropping 4-card packet onto deck).
Position at moment - top down: ace, 3 X cards, 3 aces. What I omitted --- thumb peel top four cards from top of deck into other hand, reversing their order, counting "1,2,3.4 aces" and drop back onto deck. You're simply stressing that the four aces are on top. Now you're there --- three X cards on top of the four aces. Apparently lose the aces into deck one at a time and then overhand injog shuffle keeping the four of them on top. Hope I did it right this time!

Not much help for those who use only borrowed decks - like me.

I don’t think he’s at that level yet, using a borrowed deck. If he was, he wouldn’t need any help 😎

True, I guess. But seems to me that he - or anyone - using his own deck, like a stripper deck, or ANY gaffed deck - will take much, MUCH, longer to learn how to use ANY deck to drop jaws. That, in my opinion, is the "real" magic. But - to each his own.
All he needs do is read my THE MAGIC BOOK to learn to do BETTER effects with a borrowed deck than, I bet, he can do with a stripper deck. Just my obviously biased opinion (and knowledge/experience).

Ok ok,
clars, if your still reading this thread, buy his book and also learn the Ha-Lo cut. 😎 My intention was to keep things simple. But in the end, Harry’s right because you’d get more mileage. Jeff |

I Love what Harry Lorayne suggested. It allows you to really put the "aces" in the deck fairly, without holding a break, so you can make a point out of it. Like do it slowly and graciously. I'll try that next time instead of my usual 4 card fan control.
I also like what alexhui said, wich is what I would have suggested based on the level clars seems to have. Actualy somtimes I do that, when my angles are very bad and I have some particularly burning eyes on me, instead of inserting the 4 cards into a fan an controlling them all at once, while seemingly pushing them in and cshuffling, I'll just the four particpants to put back their card in the deck one by one, while I shuffle and talk casually. Good old reliable in-jog overhand shuffle. So natural and convincing. Almost impossible to over-use it, really. |

Multiple Card Pass, Tarbell 3, page 192. (I think this is what Tortuga was referencing above.) Versatile and fairly easy to do.
