I have been fascinated with magic since childhood. I got my first magic kit when I was about 10 and I did (poorly) most of the included tricks. I got my first real trick when I was 15 and went to Las Vegas for a high school band trip. I was hooked. For half my life I have been collecting magic. I started with trick decks and gaffed coins and have been progressively moving on. This page is a listing of what I have in my magic collection.
Dream of Aces
 One week later, Alain also performed it in the middle of his live stage show, before a crowd of 1000 spectators, using a hand-held television camera and a large projection screen. At the climax of the routine, 1000 spectators rose to their feet and gave Alain a standing ovation - in the middle of his performance - after a card trick! Soon after, David Copperfield adopted the routine, then adapted it for his 15th CBS special! The effect follows along classical lines: The magician cuts a deck of cards and produces the four aces. Each ace is then covered with three indifferent cards. Three of the aces vanish from their piles and reappear together in one pile. What makes this version different? It will not require months of practice. The handling is economical, deceptive and pleasing to the eye. The presentation offers a beautiful emotional hook. And finally, it is quite simply exquisite magic! This is the most elegant approach ever to one of the world's greatest card tricks! You are supplied with a 42 page booklet, lavishly photo-illustrated in the Masters of Magic tradition, plus a DVD companion video showing Gary performing the routine, followed by an Alain Choquette performance. Also included are the required cards, which have been manufactured to our specifications on poker-size U.S. Playing Card stock!. |
