Michael Ammar - Virginia City Shuffle

[@carlloud1187]

I cut my 'magic teeth' watching Michael Ammar videos and DVDs many, MANY years ago. A great teacher who also was a guest lecturer at our local magic club here in Louisville, KY.

One of the best magicians of all times Ammar rules!

Done so so well Michael. Presented great as well.

One of the greatest packet tricks of all time.

I still do this in many of my paid gigs to this day in the gambling demo of my act. I just call it “The Blank Monte.” And of all 5 methods I know for monte effects, this gets BY FAR the best reactions. It’s quite simple to perform too

This was one of my go-to tricks when i used to hustle drinks at the bar. Virginia city shuffle, a d-lite, soda and scotch, oxo oxx xox, smoke, gtr, and stigmata. Potholes if i was trying to give a girl my number. Started out doing 2 and a half cents as well, but drunks suck at math.

This is one of those routines that looks impossible but is so easy it’d be an ideal trick for a compete novice bc they wouldn’t know what a reverse fan even is. Double lifts, displacement counts, and flustration count are all that’s needed (along with one blank card) to perform something that seems impossible! A beautiful piece of magic I still use to this day with decks that have blanks included. Also own decks of blanks. But still I adore this routine. It always kills! 👍🏻

Brilliant thinking

That's amazing!

Extraordinarily charming trick! I think I like it better than Color Monte (Bill Elliot's "Three-Card Monkey Business" from _Ibidem_).
