I like how he starts with a shuffled deck plus mild setup -- nice variation on the original OOTW. The audience cut before the second half seems a tad risky.

He looks boss with the shaved head. Very good performer and sleight of hand artist.

This one exploits something that most people don't know... that cutting the deck does not change the sequence of cards. At all!! You can the cut the deck over and over and the sequence of cards never changes. Only their position along the deck changes.

I just realised you were on youtube! Omg your voice. You cant understand how many times I watched your vhs tapes... I used them till they weren't even playing proper its insane. also took the little paper written recaps and glued them on cardboard and cut them by trick. oh man the memories. nostalgia... its nuts. Funny enough I am doing my first night of card magic at a local bar tonight... for the first time since I was a teenager... wish me luck hahaha

I always love listening to these guys talk. They're so enthusiastic about what they do. Fancy spending 30yrs studying the legendary cups and balls. Just fantastic. It's like a concert musician who learns a concerto when he's young, and then spends the rest of his life reinterpreting and perfecting it. So much devotion is required. I became a musician, but I've tried to be a magician over the years. Now I have bad arthritis in my hands, I can no longer really be either. Which is a cause of great sadness. Still gives me great enjoyment watching these fellows though.

"Thats it" is a good routine, Its just missing a tag line. He should point to the spectator and say "I told you, every time someone tries to get away with it...and you had such an honest face" Make the Spector think they got away with something and the magician was almost the victim yet again. That would be fun and with a payoff. Also "Thats It" is one of the rare routines that actually has misdirection built in it...Not sure if Ammar is aware of that. 90% of these routines have no misdirection at all.
@jerrycaddie8384 ай бұрын
Boring delivery, hallow actions (Touch your finger underneath and "Squibble") this is all we had growing up and he took us for every penny. Clever ideas but far from a complete presentation. This type of magic is so boring for an audience. I wouldn't even call it magic its just an odd puzzle(How can we put as little effort as possible just to get to and through the effect)

@jerrycaddie8384 ай бұрын
Ammar is one of the reasons why magicians are so boring. Not only did Dave heckle him on two of the tricks, but he was right! So if you can easily understand the secret, weres the trick???? Effect ,after effect, after effect, is the new bread of "Magicians". No Misdirection?. How can you do a trick with no misdirection and expect an audience to enjoy it? Your the one who claimed to be a Magician...you thrusted the expectation onto the audience . So.... DELIVER

I learned these tricks the year this edition of Easy to Master Card Miracles came out (I believe this was the first on DVD 📀 instead of VHS). I do both to this day along with dozens of other effects and routines from this series. Sleeve aces requires so little setup you can do it in 10 seconds of misdirected time, and Spelling Collins Aces is totally impromptu esp once you’ve produced the aces ahead of time. I can’t recommend this 9 part DVD series enough. You’ll learn nearly 100 tricks, all from masters, and not one trick requires professional level sleight of hand. If you put in the practice, you’ll have an arsenal of tricks you can do with any borrowed deck - most are impromptu. I carry a few of the packet tricks like Virgina City Shuffle (I just call it “Blank Monte”) and Factory Misprints with me everywhere I perform. It’s bc of this 9 part card magic series, Michael’s 3 part Easy to Master Money Miracles series, and Icebreakers that I was able to start my career as a magician. From there, I got the classics like Erdnase, The Royal Road to Card Magic, then moved up to Tamariz’s work. Now I own some 200 magic books, have shelves full of DVD’s, and hundreds of instant downloads…but it all started thanks to Michael Ammar. Imo, he is the greatest magic teacher ever. He cuts through the nonsense, takes out unnecessarily difficult moves when needed and replaces them with natural and basic moves, and shares routines developed by masters from Vernon, to Jennings, to Marlo, to Brother John. Mnemonica changed the way I look at card magic, and Juan’s student Dani Daortiz has taken it to another level - but without Michael Ammar, I wouldn’t be a magician. Thank you for your years of dedication in teaching the art properly Mr. Ammar 🙏

This is Michael Ammar at his finest. I grew up and learned magic from this series. A simple force, a simple use of a technique usually reserved for a vsn of 3 card monte, a simple gimmick…but layered like this, a brilliant effect. Thank you Michael Ammar for teaching me a hobby that I have kept 30 years later 🙏

I owe Michael Ammar a huge debt of gratitude. It’s bc of his Easy to Master Card Miracle series and coin series that I took closeup seriously way back when the initial volumes were only on VHS. I had the pleasure of meeting him when I was still a teenager, and thanked him then for getting me started in this beautiful art. Thank you again Mr. Ammar 🙏
