The Magician places a table on stage, and does a fantastic card manipulation on the table to show and mystify all who watch!
#39 Magic Card Manipulation
The trick is done with a prepared deck ("the MacDonald Aces")... 3 extra aces are used which are prepared with a "rough surface material on the face side" so that if another card is gently "pressed" to the face of the ace, it will stick and form a "double" card!
Also a card slight called the "Hermann Pass" is used to transfer a face card from the back of the pack to the front side where it will "stick" to the ace there, this is done as the Magician slowly rotates his right open hand over the visible ace card in his left hand, this movement is hidden by his right hand as he turns it over to show that the ace has disappeared (which is at that point behind the face card shown and "sticking" to it)...
And near the beginning as he places the last ace down in front of the three other aces onto the table, he "catches" three "regular" aces from underneath the pack in his left hand and places them underneath the last ace in his right hand still showing it as a single card, and places it down onto the table...
The rest of this explaination can be found by purchasing the prepaired deck which is sold as "The MacDonald Aces" from any magic store... or online where magic tricks are sold and shipped...
Great care must be exercised to PRACTICE beforehand so that all action
seems "natural" to spectators and gracefully cooridinates with the Music and the Video Photography to produce this Wonderful Showing of Card Magic...
