Bigblindmedia presents QUADRO: Four Ace Productions by John Carey (BBM218)
Quadro is John Carey's hilarious and insightful exploration into the world of 'four ace productions'—a magician's bread and butter for producing all four aces (or any four of a kind) from a shuffled deck. If you’ve been in the game for a while, you know this is a must-have in your arsenal.
These techniques can stand alone as jaw-dropping moments, or you can seamlessly weave them into longer routines that require a little four-of-a-kind magic. Either way, you'll want to keep this one close!
John serves up fourteen methods that cater to all tastes—from the self-working to the mind-bendingly visual, and even letting your spectator take the reins. Seriously, you’ll never find yourself stumped when it comes to producing four of a kind again.
Carey has curated a delightful mix of his favorite effects, sprinkled with classic gems that you'll enjoy getting your hands on. Expect visual delights, clever subtleties, and interactive fun that’s doable for most skill levels. So grab your favorite beverage, settle in, and prepare to dazzle with your own personal “awesome foursome!”

1. Vernon would have loved this. A simple yet stunning production inspired by the genius of Dai Vernon himself.
2. Aces on Time. One of John's personal faves, where timing is everything. Simple, yet packs a punch!
