At last, the legendary Scottish magician George McBride has graced us with a video. And what a doozy it is!
George has earned a reputation among magicians as a card wizard of truly devastating skill. (He’s part of the famed underground Scottish Magic Mafia, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Peter Duffie, Jerry Sadowitz, and Roy Walton). This video offers you the chance to learn eleven of his top-notch routines.
But wait, there’s more! You'll also pick up some of the most lethal moves in card magic—none of that 21 Card Trick nonsense that Uncle Barry tries to pass off as magic.
The material here is nothing short of jaw-dropping.
Ace De Triomphe - Watch as the four Aces vanish, one by one, only to reappear in jaw-dropping ways. This is George’s take on Marlo’s Vanishing Aces from Mint, and it's a banger!
Bar Room Blues - Three freely chosen cards change colour one after another, and then... the entire deck joins in the fun!
Cutting The Aces - A 'George-Clooney-smooth' technique to cut straight to all four Aces.
Double Swap Sandwich - The black jacks 'pincer' out two selections from the deck. After losing those selections, the red jacks are cut into the deck, and—surprise!—two face-down cards appear between the red jacks. But wait, they’re the BLACK JACKS?!? Quick, check those cards you tossed aside. Yep, it's the selections!!
Open Assembly - You’ve seen the classic Four Ace Assembly, but not like this! No extra cards and a killer ending that’ll leave magicians and punters alike scrambling to pick their jaws off the floor.
Reversal Of Fortune - This is the sole non-card effect on the menu, and what a treat it is. Four coins and just two cards are used. The coins vanish one at a time, only to reappear under one of the cards until all four are under the 'leader' card... or are they? Just when you think it’s over, all four coins come back to where they started without any cover apart from the two cards.
Immediate Ace Spelling - A spectator shuffles the deck. Slowly and cleanly, the magician deals cards spelling 'Ace Of Diamonds'. You guessed it, the last card is the Ace of Diamonds. Then, it’s repeated for the Ace of Spades and Ace of Clubs. For the Ace of Hearts, the spectator deals the cards themselves!
Hotel Mystery - A fantastic story that builds to a cheeky climax. It’s easy, engaging, and makes you look rather suave.
Discrepancy Assembly - Think of this as an Ace Assembly with an eating disorder—using four Kings and three indifferent cards.
Flight Path - Signed Aces disappear one at a time, only to reappear in the magician’s pocket. This five-minute miracle will have you the talk of the town, even if it’s the only trick you perform all night.
Triola - Three spectators each make a selection (or one can pick all three, if that's your jam). Two Kings are used to find the cards, with the first selection appearing magically between the Kings. But how about the other two? The Kings somehow morph into them! Badda-bing!
Bonus - The Twist Shift - A shift so smooth it'll knock your socks off! Invisible as a Big Brother contestant’s intelligence and available on video for the first time.
George McBride The Video is a masterclass in routining, sleights, misdirection, audience management, and all-round coolness. Are you ready for this?

PRAISE FOR GEORGE MCBRIDE
"I loved this collection and can hardly wait for more!"
-Richard James, Connoisseur Conjuring Forum
"Although I am not a video guy, this is one of the best teaching videos I have ever seen."
- Larry Horowitz
"Having read and admired George McBride's material in places like Five Times Five Scotland, it is a real pleasure to see him in action. He is the Scottish Underground Man. There are several of his routines I'll be working on. His 'Twist Shift' and tips on the Second Deal alone are worth the price of the video."
- Matthew Field - Editor, The Magic Circular
"This is a must have video. I can hardly wait for George's second video."
- Harvey Rosenthal
"The only other video this year that made me sit up and bark was David Stones'... this is as good, but without the pretentious or poncey attitude."
