From Brad Burt: This is a great DVD. A bargain really as it contains some of the best versions of one of the best tricks ever devised THE MacDonald ACES! I felt the publisher write up was spot on and so....here you go......
MacDonald's Aces (World's Greatest Magic)
Seven versions of magic's strongest card trick... assembled just for you!
Imagine the best magic, the best magicians, and the best producers all in one place.
Imagine no more...
If
you could have one set of magic DVDs, this would be it! This benchmark
collection features just about all of magic's most enduring and classic
effects and routines. It's a fabulous compendium with many of the top
masters in the world of magic teaching their handlings and routines for
some of magic's classics. Linking rings, sponge balls, metal bending,
cups and balls, thumb tips, Zombie, color-changing knives, and many,
many more topics are all gathered in this one terrific DVD reference
set. Each volume covers a specific subject and features new, old, and
sometimes rare footage by some of the top video producers in magic.
There
are many who would argue that the Ace assembly trick that has come to
be known as MacDonald's Aces is the strongest card trick you can do for
a layman. Though you may have a different opinion, you just may be
tempted to change your mind after witnessing the six world-class
performances on this volume.
Leading off, Michael Ammar
presents an easy-to-master, yet extremely effective, version of
MacDonald's Aces while Johnny Thompson offers a take that intimately
involves the spectators. John Mendoza is next with the approach of a
classicist while Alexander deCova embellishes his interpretation with
an amazing – and amazingly simple – four Ace production. Rising card
star John Guastaferro offers up two versions. The first features
complete vanishes of the Aces rather than a transposition and also
supplies a strong presentational hook while the second is the perfect
solution for performing this extremely strong card effect for a much
larger audience. Lastly, Martin Nash dons his "Charming Cheat" persona
and removes the Aces one at a time right from under a spectator's hand.
Once again, MacDonald's Aces is one of card magic's rare feats
– a genuine jaw-dropping miracle – and on this volume, you'll find
seven of the finest treatises ever created.

Chick Pan -- The Chick Pan is the small brother of the venerable Dove Pan and in some ways is even more versitile. The effect is simple and classic: You display a small metal bowl. (Note: If you like you can use some lighter fluid to make a bowl full of fire that is put out when the lid is put on.) You set the bowl down and then cover it with it's metal lid. Pulling the lid off again the bowl is seen to be full of whatever you wish to produce. It could be a live baby chicken, candy or in Dave Thorsen's great little routine ..... Peanuts!
Pop Eyed Popper Deck - Bicycle Poker -- This Bicycle poker sized Pop Eyed Popper Deck comes without instructions. The rough/smooth deck allows for the easy force of one particular card.
Slush Powder -- Want to vanish liquid in a styrofoam cup? Well, this is the stuff to make that happen. This stuff really soaks up the liquids and does it fast.
Ultimate Three Card Monte - Skinner -- The following ad copy is from the supplier and frankly....it pretty much tells the story. Looking for a GREAT easy to do trick that 'does' take some practice...this is Top Notch! - Brad
Michael Skinner's vast working repertoire, larger
perhaps than any other magician in history, contained some of the most
difficult sleight-of-hand tricks imaginable. Yet, one of his pet
tricks, a feature of his close-up act at the Golden Nugget Casino in
Las Vegas where he performed for two decades, is this self-working
miracle—the Ultimate 3 Card Monte.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that it almost works
by itself, though. Michael Skinner fried audiences with this routine
and after he released the secret, the Ultimate 3 Card Monte found
itself into the working repertoires of professional close-up magicians
all over the world. And now—it can be yours!
Everything (except a bit of practice) is included
in the package —professionally illustrated instructions, original
patter, and the specially printed Bicycle-brand cards that make this
miracle possible.
The Ultimate 3 Card Monte—it’s the stuff of legends.
