Card Float Illusion
Effect: A spectator selects a card from a pack which is
fanned and freely displayed. The selected card is placed
face up on top of the pack, and as the magician makes a
magic gesture, the card slowly floats up over an inch
over the pack. It just hovers above the pack. Another
card is waved under the floating card to
"prove" there are no supports or threads.
Finally the card floats back, and can be tossed out for
examination.
Effect: Performer asks for the deck to be "cut". The cards are removed from the deck to find they have really been cut down the middle! Performer determined to finish has the spectator pick any card from one half of the deck. Another spectator selects a piece of card from the other half. The cards are then placed together to show a match! Have a couple try it out and show how great a match they are!

Astonishment 2
By Paul Harris
Effect: A spectators special name is announced. Lets say
her name is "Rose. You then do a short three card reading for your client.
You open the leather envelope and remove a small packet of fortune telling cards. Their backs are a different color than the cards you've been using!
You slowly and cleanly deal the cards from the envelope on the table. The first card has a large hand drawn "R" on its back. The next card an "O". The nest an "S". The final card an "E"...spelling "Rose"!
Effect: You display the fronts and
backs of a deck of cards to the audience. A spectator
simply names any card they like, you remove the named card
and set it aside face-up. You now spread the deck on the
table and somehow the entire deck visibly shrinks to half
of its original size! The selected card is the biggest one
in the deck. Just when the audience catches their breath,
the entire deck grows back to its normal size, and now the
selected card has shrunk! To finish, the selected card
visibly grows back to normal size!
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.

Aces In Their Faces
cards with DVD by Bob Kohler
David Copperfield, Ricky Jay and countless other professionals have been making the Ace Assembly one of the highlights of their close-up and stand-up shows for many years and now you, too can perform this classic immediately-without years of practice.
The Effect
A deck of cards is shown to be all face-down. You make a magical gesture and show the Ace of Spades now face-up on top of the deck! The deck is cut, squared-up and magically, the remaining three aces also turn face-up! The deck is then separated at the aces into four piles. Without any funny moves whatsoever, the four aces magically migrate, jumping into one packet!
