Hi - if you put Elmsley Count into the Search function above and click search for all terms, then limit the search to Support and Tips, you'll find lots of previous threads on this topic. some of them are:

but check the others out as well.

another thing though, it says pick up 6 cards and then do the elmsley count..how do u do it with 6?

That's something you need to find out from DVDs Vids, books etc. I don't have 'Born To Perform' but I'm sure Katriealex will be able to advise if the EC is on there - a 6 count is just a variation on the basic theme. There will be other suggestions in due course so just hang around and wait to see what's suggested. Bear in mind that we can't actually tell you how to do things like this - that would be exposure - but we can probably tell you where to obtain suitably good teaching material.

On Born To Perform, Oz uses a sleight called the "Biddle Move". Is this a completely different sleight or the same one with a different name?

It's a completely different move.

But the Elmsley Count is on the DVD though.

Ah right, I havent watched it in full so i'll check it out later

The Magic of Alex Elmsley vol. 1 is a great source to learn the elmsley count. You will not only learn this count, but also variations to it that allow you to use more cards, switch the count and count in reverse. Well, all of that sounds wierd because I can't say much, but if you get it then you will understand. I don't want to false advertise for this video so strike what I said except that it is a great source for learning the count. Unless someone can make sense of what I was saying and can help me out.

It is deffinatly worth while to by a book/DVD/download that teaches the elmsley. It opens up so many new possibillities. You can make three cards apear to be four, you can make 3 aces and 2 queens apear to be 4 aces, you can make a packet contatining a few face up cards appear to be all face down, it is one of my favorite sleights.
