I've started a YouTube Channel-- not sure how much I'll do with it yet, but I've posted a video of me doing "The Christ Ace Trick".
You can find it here. I'm not looking for critique, I just thought some people might enjoy it. Remember-- I'm playing to an empty room!

One of my favorite tricks for over thirty years. I enjoyed that very much.

I like Steven's handling (and even some of the jokes). It was fun to watch. The tutorial is really nice too. After a little time with it, though, I think I'm gonna save it for later...it just doesn't fit very well into my performance "character." As Steven suggests in the video, I think I'm going to try adapting it to "me" when I have some free time.

Great performance.
Few people realize that the 7 that seen in first spread is at the bottom of pack after the AH spell. I use the "lucky 7" again, to get the last ace via a colour change that I have no idea whats called,it"s in Aldo"s "Whats up deck" book but I don"t think it"s Aldo"s invention. Ive subscribed to your channel Mr Youell |

I use a 5 instead of a 7 and I breather crimp it. This centralizes the placement of the first ace and allows for a couple of nice endings.

Another gem on Steven's unbelievably excellent value for money site! Steven's handling here has me revisiting this trick with a view to incorporating it into my 'aces' routine. There was a point in Ammar's handling that I was never happy with and Steven (and a touch of Bannon - Mr Fantasy) has nicely addessed it for me. Thanks for taking the time Steven!

Wow pretty entertaining! however have to admit that I cannot stand your card handling - you hold the cards way too tight! remember the saying: hold the cards like it was a bird - do not squish it too tight but tightly enough so it will not fly away (or something like that;)).
I would indeed feel sorry for your cards if they were a bird. |

Very nice, Bannon also has a great version of this

His ability to lead you down the garden path thinking he's fumbling (or in your case, over gripping the cards) is part of his ability as a Pro! Being a student of such greats as Paul Chosse and Ron Bauer I'm quite sure he would have had his knuckles rapped harder than a Catholic School boy for mishandling cards! MMc |

Wow relax Steve, when have I ever said you were an amateur? Ill give a **** for your website - I have never said you were a bad magician! All I did, was pointing out that you holded the cards way too tight - which is a fact! Which by the way has nothing to do with him leading the audience "down the garden path", I doubt there has been going any deeper thinking into steves way of handling the cards!

This was the very type of issue I was trying to avoid. So let's just have a group hug and call it a day, shall we? SEY |

Context is important to. Empty room with a camera for an audience! I used it for what it was intended. Tuition.
