Above is the video of my ambitious card routine. It's quite obvious what deck it is.
Also, I think I agree with the first commenter :oops:

Not sure where you learnt that, but you seem to be missing the point of a sven deck ambitious card. I mean, to begin with, with those (many many pointless) riffle shuffles you are retaining the top card ANYWAY!

Get Mark Lewis' book. http://www.marklewisentertainment.com/h ... cians.html

Watch Andy Nyman's sven routine on his Get Nyman DVDs.

As a routine, it felt like it needed more direction. A sense of building to an impossible end.

Only a magician or gambler would notice the rentention of the top card.

With that said however it does seem like you are missing the point of an Ambitious card. It seems to me an ambitious card should be that you are placing a card in the center of the deck, and with no moves it rises to the top as if by...magic. All the shuffling takes away from that.

Bravo however because you are trying to think outside of the conventional routine with that particular deck.

I think it just needs a bit of re-thinking and a refinement on handling. Other than that keep it up because this is how ideas are realized.

You are off to a decent start, but it needs 'a lot' more work i.m.h.o.
Keep at it! :D
In time you will have perfected your own ACR with a normal deck and you wont even need to rely on the s******* d***.
I'm 'still' trying to perfect mine after almost 2 years of on and off practice with a non gaffed deck!

I didn't clock the SD first off I was too busy concentrating on where the top card was and wasn't being shuffled to.
