Anyone know if Daryl did get someone to manifacture his awesome gimmick used in his AC routine? If not, I will create it myself

Rune,

The gimmick he used in his Ambitious Card Routine is available from his site. I've seen it on other sites to but if I can remember you have to pay more money there so best you can get it from Daryl's own shop.

Found at: http://www.foolerdoolers.com

It's still expensive though, $29.95 , you can make it yourself but it takes alot of work. If bought the gimmick is made by USPCC in bicycle brand.


My regards,

Thanks. Yes, I think I will create it myself. It's quite possible to do. Shouldn't be a problem at all. Just.... takes some time.. The nice thing is that you can take a old deck of cards, and create it, noone would notice...

Rune - I'd recommend that you create your own if you actually need the gimmick.

I bought this myself a while ago and hated it. I managed to sell it on for a fraction of what I paid for it. I thought that the gimmick was very messy and not suited to someone of your standard. It's more for a beginner in my opinion

I'd aggree on this point, Rune. I'm sure you would be able to come up with an ending just as strong, if not stronger using your technical abilities, without having to reort to a deck switch and then a rather clumsy gimmick.

how can i find the vid on his AC rountine so i can see if i want to make it. and hwo can i find out what tthe gimmick is so i can make one...if this is exposure, then never mind...i dont want to get into trouble for exposure.

Hey guys, I don't agree with you.

If you have seen Daryl's live show, where he performs his AC routine, this is FAR from a "beginners" gimmick. Daryl is well known for his AC routine, and the way he performs it just marvellous. And when he tops the whole routine with this gimmick, you just go nuts. Daryl has studied AC routines and moves for years, and read hundreds of books on exactly this, and he came up with his own routine/version. And part of this, is he gimmicked end. I don't you are fair saying that this gimmick is for "beginners" only. In the correct setting, as in his own routine, its a killer. With his showmanship and patter, it's just perfect.

I have just finnished the gimmick myself, and it was easy to create and worth the hours I spent. This will add something totally new to my AC routine. Though I will probably not use it in every sorrounding, but when I plan to do a larger AC routine, as Daryl's version, it's just a killer end.

So, if you buy it: it's worth every penny, but, as I said you can create easily yourself, if you have his AC explanation video. Having said that, without wathing his show, the gimmick is useless.

Some times gimmicks make tricks just that much more explosive. I mean take twisted sisters for example, it's simple, but people flip when they see it.

Nathan - you won't get anyone exposing the secret and telling you how to make it .

Rune - I haven't seen Daryl's AC routine so will take your word for how good it is. I see the point that you have made and tt would appear that I wrongly got the impression that the gimmick was to help out those who hadn't masterted the necessary sleights to perform an AC routine.

It's true that a gimmick in the right hands can be marvelous and I hope that you post a video of your new AC routine, using the gimmick to show us how it's done properly.

I totally agree with Rune saying that the finish of Daryl's ACR is great.
Saying the gimmick is only for beginners isnt even aplliable becouse it doesn't have to do anything with the routine except for the ending.
It isnt a gimmick to make things easy'er or something, it's just the finish of the routine.

Though I must say I dunno what I would like most, Daryl's gimmick, or Jay Sankey's Paperclipped effect as an ending.

Both are very strong.

BTW Rune, you made it in a fairly short amount of time, give's me some inspiration to make one myself to.

Well I've seen some of your video's on this forum and I have to share dat's hope to see a video of your routine.
Amazing card handling.

I'm not too big to admit that I get things wrong from time to time - this appears to be one of them

That doesn't mather at all, well not to me at least.
If you don't know what something is and just hear about it it's easy to make wrong assumptions an interprete things wrong.
Thats no big deal I think, you just can't know everything.
Plus thats one of the reasons I joined this forum (I've been on it a couple of weeks just reading before I joined) that if you get something wrong, other people can explain (Well not always really explain but you get the point) what you got wrong.

To make a long and boring story short
You made a wrong assumption and we (I think) brightend things up a little.

About those who wonderes how it was to fix this gimmick . it was quite easy. Ok, buying it will probably be a perfect solution, but hey, noone will look at this deck, and my version of it will work perfect, and infact, it looks awesome as well. Cutting the cards, gluing them and finish them all up was easy, but agian, I had the equipment.

I will MAYBE make a new AC routine, but not just for a video. If you ever will see me use this gimmick, it will be during a live show or something (which I plan to do shortly).

Nice dicussion by the way

np dude, i was just wondering if it was exposure...if it is then never mind..what is the gimmick called? i would like to see a demostration of his routine if possible? can you buy it on his site? link plz and how much is it?

I bought the Daryl Ambitios Card gimmick from either Penguin or MagicTricks.co.uk - I can't remember which but I remember that the price was somewhere around the £8 to £10 mark. I've since seen the very same item in a magic shop for £30 which is a tremendous hike.

It's definately for sale on Daryl's site although the price is in dollars.
