Dream of Aces - EPIC Card Trick Tutorial

The New Website! - Mint52.com
I've been slowly getting back into the rhythm of creating content, and I'm excited to share a new video with you! Since this is the first video I've released in a while, I wanted to teach an extra special card effect... The Dream of Aces card trick (also known as Mcdonalds Aces).
The aces magically vanish one at a time, and then reappear moments later next to the leader ace (the ace of spades). This is a classic plot in magic and so many different magicians have worked on it throughout the years. Even David Copperfield performed a version of this on national television; and for a very good reason.

[@52kards]

It's great to be back! I missed you all

[@xultimatex5308]

You too Asad. Great to see you once again back with another great gaff card ace trick!

[@AlvarezPT]

52Kards we missed ya as well ;)

[@saviodias3803]

This is the happiest news I've heard in a long long time.... Welcome back ASAD!!!❤️

[@bali-socks]

I missed you:(

[@KardTrickKid]

I'm so happy you're back! Great tutorial

[@ezra4869]

The music compliments this trick perfectly. Great job.

[@davidniederauer1278]

Oh no! You’re showing the best trick with the four Aces ever. It’s really an old trick and for the past 50 years it has been rarely seen. It has been my signature ending trick for 60 years. It always gets great reactions. This trick really deserves a renaissance and I’m glad you’re featuring it here. I rarely preform anymore so getting this trick out to more popular is exciting for me. This routine that you teach here is wonderful. I usually do it where the magic happens in four spectator’s hands. BTW you’ve done an excellent job of teaching in this video (as you have done in your many 52Kardd videos). You are a great resource for the magic community. Thank you.

[@ezra4869]

So the spectators would be holding the double facers as well as the three other cards? That sounds even better man. But unfortunately i can not trust my friends to hold them.

[@davidniederauer1278]

Ezra Tsegaye I hear you. But I make the spectators do things so that they cannot flash. I have each spectators hold the cards differently. One is to hold the cards together tightly between two fingers behind their back. Another is to insert the four cards inside a book with the cards sticking halfway out the top of the book. Sometimes I have someone sit on them. You can tell them to grasp the cards tightly on both ends of the cards using two fingers of each hand and hold them arms stretched out in front of them or over their head or even bending over between their legs. It becomes quite comedic getting each spectator to hold the cards all in a different “unusual” way while at the same time insuring they won’t flash the cards.

[@DETERMINOLOGY]

This is pretty much mc donalds aces but people calling it new i guess with naming it different pretty much the same mechanics etc.......Magic should be more creative i feel we not running out of ideas im sure

[@tilimo007]

I really like the thought of involving the spectators. However, I was thinking about when someone does the magic. Do you put the aces (doublefacers) in the 3-pack and give them to the spectators to later take the card back to do the elmsy count or? Also, after having watched this trick several times now, I still think it is really fun and strong because there are many convincers as well as small moves making it difficult to follow. Which in the end really gives that feeling of; wow, magic :p

[@markusdeminger6258]

Maybe a stupid question but which way do you get the double faces seperated from the rest if you want to go on with the same deck but a different trick s If you so not use this trick as the ending trick of a routine? Put em to the bottom During squaring up the other cards and palm them off when reaching for the nix with the remaining cards?

[@abishekbaskar2222]

I'm a simple man.. I see a 52kards video.. I click it

Tip for those who may struggle with the Elmsley count, if you count in your head "1, and, 2, and, 3, and 4" it will help give a nice flowing rhythm and give you a timer when to 'push' the double packet over. By this I mean on 1 you slide the first card off into your left hand, on the first "and" you do the pull with your thumb and push with your fingers and at the same time start moving the single card back into the pack. 2 is when you take the double packet and ditch the single, and then 3 and 4 for completion.

[@nikolasbartell2194]

Just the way you turn all the aces around at the end is so satisfying to watch

[@chandler_henry]

I smell a collab coming soon... love the new video man, and congrats on the new website, looks great!

[@MJL1912]

Rise Magic Hey, it’s you guys! Big fan!

[@e-karttolle786]

I’m gonna smell the cards from a new deck that’ll be coming in my mail soon..

[@xultimatex5308]

Welcome back Asad! Love this Ace trick including the gaff cards.

[@bobg2848]

You explain things so clearly, Asad! I've been a fan for years. Would love it if you would teach the Hamman Count.

[@georgelaing2578]

This was a basic routine of this type that was very well presented. I hope to see more of your videos!

[@Jforte106]

Hey Asad I just got my Blueberry Mint's, and they are absolutely amazing, it's the best handling deck I have ever felt, and the designs are just pure beautiful to say the least!

[@K.Ali.K]

Damn it’s been a while. Glad you’re back. I remember watching your vids all the time 4 years ago when I just started out in magic

[@lampei]

That performance in the beginning was so beautiful, GREAT music too.

[@gladiator7746]

What a beautiful music! I wish all magic tutorials had this music!!

[@nancyanderson5320]

Welcome back!! I needed your tutorials. This is a great way to display my beautiful MINT deck.

[@adityaandaleeb9978]

really glad that you uploaded man, this trick was fire btw

[@enriquethemagician]

Thank you so much for all your videos. I have been a fan for a long time and your videos have helped me become confident so that I can share my own magic videos on KZbin. I recently started my channel and I just uploaded a performance of this trick on my KZbin channel. Thank you again so much for your awesome videos.

[@ridiidrifiitiit6044]

I understood all techniques of your trick. Really good one. Favourite

[@patrickcarter8762]

11:07 DO NOT do this «normal/imitating» COUNT!!!! If you want your spectator to think you did nothing then use the Elmsley count twice in this 2nd ace because if you do the exact same count and a second after the card disappear it's like you did nothing different from before and this is what makes this magic. 13:42 about gripping the double face down like that, you can be more casual. Instead use the thumb on top index on the upper edge and the middle finger on the bottom of the double. It makes it natural and still help to square. 14:46 if you want something a little better turn your left hand first showing the back (squaring up the double facer with the card below it) Then turn your right hand to show the back and at the same time turn your left hand and drop the double face (the 3 of ♠), then turn your right hand and drop the card (5 of ♣) then drop the last card in your left hand showing also the back. These are tips to make the trick more natural it takes more practice but i'm not saying that what Asad teach is «bad»/«horrible» i'm just trying to help some magician who want to be as natural as possible.😅

[@-oboro-2254]

Very well thought out, it is a sophisticated procedure. Great.

[@TheAsthmaticSeal]

That last vanishing is soooo pretty.

[@saviodias3803]

[@niklas8523]

The asmr is so good

[@tilimo007]

That performance was impressive 0.0

[@SanderJanssenBSc]

Damm that trick is SICK

[@sabxdarktimes2229]

I've also seen it done with a three card palm tuck away and a lap drop but this makes it so much easier and alot less slight of hand.

[@jasonffx01]

The intro from 1:48 to 1:55 is so cool

[@soumenmondal2967]

I am totally speechless...

[@manavshah1793]

Just amazing

[@kenwax]

A perfect performance! Much appreciated!

[@xultimatex5308]

[@vighnesh3071]

Welcome back King 🙏🙏

[@2121toso]

Beautiful

[@FringeLife-di1yc]

I saw Michael Vincent do this trick I wonder if it's how he did it. I just fell in love with the trick and want to add to my routine, also I purchased a Cucumber Mint Deck with the gaff cards looking forward to having them

[@bernimag8]

Amazing trick!! I love tricks with aces. About the 3th ace, take a J & K or 7 & 8.. With two similiar cards the change at doble lift is not heavy

[@GabrielZudeck]

Great Job Asad!! I'm still practicing my Up The Ladder Cuts .... My goal is to do a collab video with you in about 5 more years of practice.

[@avijitmandal9346]

Awesome magic trick with tutorial ♥️♥️♥️

[@skeletonz00387]

Just got my deck and gaff pack! Love it to death

[@LeoCalvino]

very very beautiful!!

[@moosehak]

Yes dude, seriously epic!

[@jorgebrito1849]

It's a wonderful number of card magic. But did my late Master Glory in Portugal teach me 20 years ago? But you perform very well and with new movements.

[@Leo-uu5jy]

No way I’ve been doing magic for a bit now I’m still pretty basic on my knowledge but that was insane great job my guy🤘

[@myctic7085]

Thanks so much Asad!

[@vjasssss]

its been a long time since the last time u uploaded, love it ♥️
