Catch Me If You Can - Pit Hartling, performance by Allan Ackerman

Pit Hartling has an effect called, Catch Me If You Can, in his book, "In Order to Amaze." In Pit's version, the spectator names any card to represent the thief, and the magician removes the two detective cards. I thought it would enhance the routine if the spectator could select all three of the cards.

I love being able to use a table it opens up so much compared to street magic I try and find a table every time I love royal jazz quartet

Очень круто ! спасибо за магию утречком Very cool ! Thanks for the magic morning

[@jennifermagic7984]

I just cracked opened "In Order to Amaze" and read through all his variations. I really love your variation of this Allan. Where the spectator gets to pick the detectives.

[@allanackerman4848]

This routine of Pit's is one of my favorite routines.

[@jennifermagic7984]

@@allanackerman4848 I like how simple the quartet routines in this book are with tetradistic stack with a distances set of (13,13,13) for every card.

[@SLYGARR]

Just found you. I do the Pit Hartling version and really love your version. Looking forward to many more.

[@allanackerman4848]

Glad you liked the handle

[@goldeneddie]

Wow Allan, that's great. I've met Pit and he'd be impressed I'm sure! He has such an 'engineering' mind yet adds the narrative too, quite a wonderful mixture. So that extra twist you added, man that squeezes some extra juice out of that sweet trick!

[@allanackerman4848]

Thank you, I have really enjoyed this effect of Pit's the last couple of years.

[@abcardmagic9587]

That was fantastic and a real fooler. Great job as usual Allan. Love your card work.

[@allanackerman4848]

Thank you

[@jennifermagic7984]

Love it! :). I have Pit's book, and I need to get into.

[@allanackerman4848]

It's so good!

[@danielecelato5529]

Really cannot understand how you cull the criminal so fast after closing the fan!

[@allanackerman4848]

Glad you liked the handle Daniele -- the M.O. will be in my new book by Vanishing Inc called All In. Hopefully it will be out by the end of the year.

[@davidbaker4393]
