Hello

I recently purchased 'Royal Flush of Hearts - Dominique Duvivier' from www.magicproshop.com (http://www.magicproshop.com/product_inf ... ts_id=1197)

As I am new to magic I am having trouble initiating the Elmsley Count.
The Part im stuck on is when i have to pick up 6 cards (Ace of Diamond, Ace of Heart, King,Queen, Jack and Ace of Clubs in that order) and use Elmsley to show 4 Ace's.

The instruction states:
"Elmsley count the packet, ostensibly showing four different aces, and catch a break below the ace of clubs as it is counted, followerd by the ace of diamonds. You now have a two-card break. Turn over the two cards above the break. As soon as they are flush with the packet, immediatley push over only the top card and take it into your left hand."

Would someone be able to provide me a video or detailed description of how to implement the Emsley and hopefully into the above instructions

Sorry about the long post

Regards

I'll make a video if I have the time , but in the meantime, I've PMed you a description.

Im really new to magic too, and I would say smoothness and not speed is key with the elmsley count. When I first tried to learn this I was trying to do it at 100mph! not the best idea when your learning!

Hope this helps a bit

If you use the Search function above, top right, you'll find several threads with tips and hints with the EC.

Thank you for your replies.

Special thanks goes to katrielalex for providing me a detailed tutorial on the Elmsley Count.

However I do not understand the rest of the effect:
"Elmsley count the packet, ostensibly showing four different aces, and catch a break below the ace of clubs as it is counted, followerd by the ace of diamonds. You now have a two-card break. Turn over the two cards above the break. As soon as they are flush with the packet, immediatley push over only the top card and take it into your left hand"

Would someone be able to break down the terminology and explain briefly what they are asking for?

Thank you
Regards

PM'ed you again!

As I said in my PM, I heartily recommend Oz'z Born to Perform Card Magic - it covers all these sleights and way more. Perfect!
