McDonald's Aces Advice

Postby stevebo » Jun 12th, '05, 18:41



For all those who have Oz Pearlman's Watch Magic DVD, I just realised that there is a special part which teaches a lead-in into McDonald's Aces. Even though I don't have McDonald Aces myself, I thought it would be useful for the guys who do have it!

When you have bought Watch Magic from PenguinMagic, there is a free bonus video which gives advice for some of the tricks on the DVD and also an added bonus for the McDonald Aces. This lead-in does require some skill and sleight of hand though.

I highly recommend picking up a copy of Watch Magic. The routines in the DVD are for more of the "friendly conversation magic" settings, which I really like. Also, Pirate Stab is really nice for a stage routine.

The lead-in is basically a really nice four ace production for the routine. I wouldn't recommend buying the DVD if you ONLY want that little bonus, but the DVD really is quite nice! :D

Thanks. I have Macdonalds's Aces, and would love to find a four ace lead in!

Hey Stevebo, can you be a bit more specific about the effect that you're talking about? Don't give it away or anything like that, but just a basic description of how it looks.

Well, basically, it's a four ace production that uses the gimmicked cards needed also.

Oz does something with the cards that is like: You need good poker hands so you would want good cards. He randomly dribbles to some cards and it lands to a low value card. He finds other cards, it's better but not as good. Then out of nothing, he pops out the 4 aces using the gimmicked cards also. I think the ace production is the lickety flip production. Sorry, not sure about the name.
