Can anybody give me some insightful advice on how to correctly make the two cards look like one in waving the aces. This isn't like a double lift, I feel the spectator always see's or knows whats going on. Any advice?
Thanks |

I always have them hold on to the two aces then have the card ontop thenget a break on that card then have them hand the aces to me. I then put them ontop of my break and I say, we have this ace (whateverone it is) then putting the top ace on the bottom putting their card revearsed and in between the two aces. the rest is just acting. hope this helps.

To true Magic2253711, when I street perform that is also the technique I use. Make sure a spectator is holding both of the aces the whole time. Then brng them to the deck and say "ok I'm going to wave these over", (spread show empty), pick up the chooseen card (now on top) and say, "Wait, I'm going to need the 'heart' on the bottom give them the deck and that's it

I think this discussion can help you. It also has some video clips of Café members doing the effect.

I use the same method as murcielago1687. it works very well.
the important part IS that THEY hold onto the aces the whole time. there are different controls you can use to bring the card on top. sometimes I use Le Paul's bluff pass. after that you can use different methods to get rid of the top card . use your imagination. and I go from there with the method explained by murcielago1687. try using simple methods ast first and then you can try palming their card like blaine does. good luck -Matt

That meathod used was the one taught by ellusionist.com, the only reason I prefer that to others, it totally takes the heat away from the aces when you move them back to the deck, seeing how they had been holding them the whole time and all.

I have always liked the visual aspect to waving the aces but I did have a proble with the discepancies so I developed my own handling of the trick. Through the years I turned this routine into a showpiece. My version can be perfromed completely surrounded and there are no discepencies. It also has a kicker so you end clean. It is on my video "I'll Try Anything Once, Or Twice." I call it "Waving Them Surrounded"
