A beautiful routine from a classic ace assembly by Jörg Alexander Card-Shark presents Fantastic Aces.

Very nice routine with lots of nuances and subtleties.
I have always loved ace assemblies and Jorg is a terrific performer and thinker.
He always comes across as such a likable chap, plus he really knows how to milk this routine for everything it's worth.
I think his audiences really believe they have witnessed a miracle after seeing him perform this.
He makes this version seems like much more than just a card trick.

Very nice routining and handling.

I already perform an incredible version of Mac Donald's aces where the spectator chooses one of the packets, put it in his/her pocket, at the end he/she took it out and the four aces are there to be found. This has been in my repertoire since the last 10 years. I added a couples of KILLER subtleties there, If you want to know more, just PM me.

I thought I was "in the know" until he makes the last ace disappear, I've been watching it 20 times and I still don't know how he do it. I have a tiny idea but I'm not sure. (I'm not fishing for solutions here, I will learn it when I'll receive it) I ordered it and will post a thorough review as soon as I'll receive it.

I particularly like the handling of the first ace vanish, so smooooooooth ... and the last one : I barely have a clue !! Smile

Good job Mr. Alexander.

Happy Christmas holidays to all Café members.

Peace

Jack

Just received this today.
Really love the routine Jorg has put together.
I've long wanted to come up with something similar and now Jorg has done all the hard work and development for me and Card Shark has made it available for a very reasonable price.
I'm really happy with the product. It has been excellently produced in all ways. You even get an actual physical DVD and not a streaming code.

Jack, Jorg mentions that although the routine has evolved and changed a lot over many years, the particular vanish of the third ace was something he was determined not to change.
He explains how it requires paying a somewhat higher price in other ways but he feels it is well worth the trade off.

IMO, this is definitely a fantastic routine for a formal close-up show or small parlour show.

Videoman, thanks for the review.
I'm starting to have a slight idea for the technique he use for the last ace. As long as the "higher price to pay" doesn't mean that it's risky to perform it strolling tables or during a cocktail venue, I'm fine with it. My order shipped 2 days ago, it shouldn't be long before I post a review of it.

Peace

Jack

This looks fantastic, but I am curious as to the degree of difficulty.

I can't wait. Scheduled to hit the mailbox tomorrow. This routine looks utterly magical in Jörg's hands.
If you watch his performances of this and other effects it clear not only how much he thinks about
the effect but how much he views it through the eyes of the spectators. He clearly has acting training
and uses it very effectively for his audiences enjoyment. Reminds me a bit of why I love Tommy Wonder so much.

I took the opportunity to grab the Parlour Sized cards and a bunch of Parlour decks because this routine
looks like a wonderful showpiece. If you haven't seen the Pheonix Parlour sized cards in person yet
give them a shot. They are remarkable.

Geez, I didn't realize that that is the name of the effect. I should have said: truly fantastic!
