[@52kards]

@OneAlphaAi Thanks for the kind words :) My style is constantly changing, but I have always been most interested in off the cuff tricks that require no preparation or gimmicks. When i'm in front of an audience I like to just pull out a deck and free style. The things I show depend on the size of the audience, their attention level, age, etc.

[@msyamil200]

[@asherkosack9347]

For the Ace of Spaded reveal, after I show the cards all face down, I do the gesture, and then I say "how about you deal them down this time" to make it more magical.

[@hamadalhussain1286]

Thanks!!!.. The BEST explanation. Thanks :)

[@davidludwig3975]

[@SagiMaor]

nice trick man

[@manuelbuitenhuis7337]

By far one of my favorite routines

[@devinm735]

Hi Asad. I love your tricks, flawlessly performed, magically explained. Where do you learn the majority of your tricks?

[@georgeetboom7719]

Thanks for the elmslry count practice

[@calebkasper6900]

Great thanks a lot!!!!!😄😃😀😀😄😃

[@DaoTuanAnh]

superb emsley count @@

[@cardsleightsandtricks8681]

Nice classic trick.

[@weefeatures]

Yay! I quite like doing the two counts on the A of spades, as if one count isn't enough to find the special A of spades. Thanks for your idea, my elmsley count isn't the best, so will perform your idea instead :D

[@Str8Faced]

This is really fun and it's helping me get my beginner chops up. However, on the last ace I just count it normally so it comes up without having to go through two "twists"

[@Dragoshelu97]

I love your elmsley count

[@DavidHorgan1964]

One of the smoothest versions I have seen, wish my Emsley count was half as good.

[@stevenhoog1]

Also there is an underground trick where the last ace is twisted but does not turn face up but rather DISAPPEARS leaving only 3 aces and is found face-UP in the middle of the deck on table. While presenting the 4 aces, do a deep ATFUS on AS and place deck on table. Now u have the AS face up in deck and count 3 as 4 aces while each one turns up...then only 3 cards are left and bam AS if found in the deck as it's spread!

[@TigerKingGgio10]

One of the reasons why I should really be learning the ELMSLEY COUNT right now...

[@SharpiiezNova]

your EC is really smooth !!

[@stony6211]

Nice tut

[@AlexDanielski]

I would love to learn this trick, but i can't get how u make the ace of clubs be above ace of hearts in the second elmsley. I'm doing a regular elmsley for the first time, and i get ace of hearts on top every time

[@jacksainthill8974]

Great beginners' trick; clear tutorial; thank you. Btw, I myself am just a beginner, but already I prefer to double-lift by sense of touch (after pushing off the top cards by a miniscule amount), rather than by using the awkward pinky break. Has anyone else here practised doing it my way? Thanks again.

[@leloup4157]

makes sense, easy to learn...

[@weefeatures]

Yeah, I mean the extra count on the A of spades is like the kicker. Having to do two counts as if the A of spades is 'extra special' and 'harder to find' kinda thing, rather than finding it the same way as the other aces. I like your idea too, particularly for minimising mistakes. Personally I prefer the idea that the A of spades is different from the other cards and requires that extra move:)

[@baldguydesign]

you would still do the two counts and can do the extra twists. the performance would be identical up to the final count that reveals the AS. that is the one that can go straight; at that point you could even fan since you are clean at this point to reveal the final ace flip.

[@iukekini2460]

Can u plz explain in more detail on how you get the ace of heart and ace of clubs flipped over

[@Loganmagic98]

Thanks asad!

[@milanzoric6326]

thank you :D

[@lgpcd12]

i am having trouble in the first part of my elmsley count when i push over the first card with my right index finger before coming over with my left hand. Everytime i try to push it all three cards just two cards are pushed overwhich reveals my hidden card. What can i do about this?

[@baldguydesign]

just a quick note to help clean up the handling; the last count doesnt need to be an elmsley and will be the last count they see. just count them straight and leave them thinking that every count was legit.

[@razamulyana]

thanks man

[@NDawgHoyt]

In a trick where flipping cards over is the magic, I decided the deck flip was a nice flourish. :p (still can't do it with a full deck, but four cards isn't too bad.)

[@TheRafi818]

On the last part instead of the ace of spades being the 3rd card the ace of hearts is the 3rd card what am I doing wrong?

[@icyburger]

i thought we abolished black magic decades ago

[@Guff69]

if anyone could help after i do my first elmsy count the one of the red aces is face up dont get it

[@baldguydesign]

i understand what you are saying but read my post again; i am not referring to the elmsley before the second twist. i am referring to the final count to reveal the spade; the count can be straight. this will be the 5th count; by that time the scrutiny will be highest. the only reason to do another elmsley is for consistency but if your straight count and elmsley are not identical you shouldn't be performing this anyway.

[@aleksandarmijatovic6665]

triple lift is very well done Elmsey count- bit obvious. over all all most perfect

[@stevenhoog1]

The reasoning behind the way he did it is psychologically sound and correct. After what looks to be a "potentially-fishy Move" (the red aces flipping) he shows that all the cards are STILL facing same way... THEN he "twists" it again and it MAGICALLY turns over. If it was done YOUR way, the last ace is EASILY explained away by that bit of "funny" business with the flipping up the red ace and EASILY reconstructed that all but the black ace was flipped. I'm not knocking you at all BTW

[@NDawgHoyt]

That's actually what I've been doing since I posted that. I spin them like normal, then during the last Elmsly count I put the last card on the bottom instead and flip it. Only problem is I suck at Elmsly counts and I lose a card in the flip every now and then, but practice makes perfect.:)

[@baldguydesign]

you got it! :)

[@stevenhoog1]

Ahhhh, yes yes, it SHOULD be a slow, deliberate, authentic count. Excellent point!

[@weefeatures]

I like that idea for handling purposes, but the A spades requiring an extra twist is kind of the kicker for the trick. Rather than doing the same thing you did on all 4 aces (as it appears to the audience) you do something extra special on the last card by twisting it twice. I think to make it more interesting.

[@NDawgHoyt]

Actually it kind of works instead of spinning the cards. You'd probably have to change the ending though, and you'd have to trust the slowness of the eye in the flip before you reveal the Ace of Clubs. I might try testing that out on some people to see if they catch on there.

[@SuperMagicman1996]

@ProudIndianOverHere they are split spade by david blaine, they are amazing, however they are very rare now, instead i recommend white lions by david blaine :)

[@hakumoku808]

what deck is it that you're using?

[@CzarAice01]

damn so smooth

[@thejackofclubs22]

the card trick teacher liked this thats missmag822

[@Moki192]

I know you're not supposed to move your right hand, but I find it easier with the last two cards (the top one and the last one).

[@leeponzu]

Nicely done. But you could have mentioned that this is the original Daily Vernon routine. (I think so.)

[@Sarthex]

loving this effect, but isn't the last elmsly count a bit "risky"? i mean, the ace of spades is turned face up in the fourth position, so if you just counted "normally", it would be the last card of the pile, which is a bigger "finale" than when it's third (imo). Also: by doing another "unneeded" elmsly count you would get more risk of the audience catching on to it. cool trick ;)

[@turpinma]

For the last one you do not need an elmsley count correct?

[@polarshipment2381]

You do it two times to reveal the ace of spades at the second twist

[@alancurran7983]

a good impromtu trick to do after doing other ace tricks such as acrobatic aces

[@coolmagickid]

how do you get 52kards to be at the top of your video

[@Razamabaz]

I don't pull down on the bottom card to do a triple turn over. It's easier to push the top 3 cards over as one with your thumb. I think a beginner would struggle to pull the bottom card down to prepare for the triple.

[@ObscuredByTime]

Here's great advice on the Elmsley you won't get anywhere else: 1. Make sure you are applying slight downwards pressure with your left hand on each switch. 2. While practicing, focus on your RIGHT hand (if you are right-handed), not your moving left hand. If you watch your right hand (keep it still) and your right thumb with each count, you WILL adjust and improve. 3. If you have extremely dry hands, start hydrating them with lotion twice a day, but never leave residue on your hands.

[@agent45267]

figured it out first time i watched it without tutorial

[@ryanfaber895]

"Daily Vernon" Noooooice

[@KidTempa786]

can you do this again but not in that angle? its confusing with the elmsly counts that you do.

[@hammyarr]

SUBSCRIBED:)

[@SeraphimCramer]

The only problem with that is that at one point, the bottom card is face up, so you'd flash that to the audience when you did the flip. It would work as your "bigger move" for revealing the ace of spades, though.

[@mhc96]

Plz Plz can you tell me the name of those cards !!!!

[@808thump]

Oh man I Freaking Love this Guys smooth handling like peeling a banana!

[@joe1110]

I know how u feel guys, took me about 15 mins just to work it out. What I found is thst at the start after you've done the triple lift you take the ace of spades and put it to the back rather than in the middle then turn the whole deck over. he doesnt tell u any of this and iv just spent ages pressing replay to get the two centre cards face up

[@leonardotrigueiro7256]

You could actualize this video to a better quality and just to show something "different" make it using A - 4 appearing in order would be nice

[@Assassin73311]

That may work for some people. But other people notice even the slightest change. If you keep every count consistent it may not fool some people, but at least every count looked the same, so they aren't thinking that you changed something.

[@Pokemonfox4]

Got a ten minute ad

[@donovanjoseph3218]

I like this one cus it's tricky and hard to learn .. my kind

[@foxfire799]
