McDonald's Aces

Toodle-oo!

I watched your video Rune (gratz!) and now I mustmustmust learn how it's done :twisted:. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be as easy as I had hoped as nowhere I know sells it as a separate routine. Does anyone? If not, can you get it in any DVDs / books?

Thanks!

This is a pretty standard dealer item and if you just need the double face cards then you can get them from cardsformagic.co.uk

Nah...I'd like actually to know how the handling. I knew it used Aardvarks.

P.S. You might want to edit your post as that seems like exposure to me :(.

Kati - this is taught on Michael Ammar's ETMCM Vol 2 - called MacDonalds Aces. The dvd even comes with the required gimmicked cards, although as pointed out, you can make put this together with a deck of gaffed cards available from most magic dealers. It is on my list of tricks to learn - list getting longer as I am currently watching my way through Ammar's series (just the performances) - there are so many great tricks and strong routines on here - recommended to every card magician.

I agree. MacDonald's Aces is a great trick and I love the presentation by "Twins" as seen on the Magic Video Depot. Truly astounding. I have volumes 1 and 2 of ETMCM and already I have seen some excellent card routines that I will be incorporating into my own performance.

Having just seen this for the first time I've just ordered ETMCM volumes 1 and 2 and can't wait to get practicing.

Everyones views on ETMCM seem to be pretty good.. so here's hoping.

Whilst I have several of Ammar's ETMCM DVDs and the cards for McDonald's Aces, I have an inherent dislike of using gaffs. If only McDonald's Aces were possible with normal cards :(

Basically, I just want to say one thing. There seems to be 2 major different version of the MCD out there. If you use Penguins version, you get one, or you can use my version (which I don't remember who's the originator of), which is a totally else setup.
