ACE ASSEMBLIES
Ah, the classic Ace Assembly—a trick so iconic that it’s practically a rite of passage for magicians. Traditionally credited to the French magician Conus, this gem has been captivating audiences since its debut in 1853, and magicians are still conjuring up spectacular twists on this timeless effect.
VOLUME 2
In this DVD, you’ll meet five magicians, each presenting their own unique spin on the Ace Assembly saga. First up, Bill Malone showcases an Ace assembly so clean it could almost fool you into thinking those cards are rigged (but they aren’t—promise!). Then, Steve Draun adds a visually stunning finish to Marlo's Bluff assembly, while Trevor Lewis pulls a fast one by switching the Aces’ final destination at the last moment—surprise! John Guastaferro takes it up a notch with a version where the Aces assemble right in the card case, making you wonder if you’ve just stumbled into a magic shop. And finally, Martin Nash’s Aces come together under a spectator's hand, because why not? Bill Malone wraps it all up with a technically challenging but jaw-dropping routine where the Aces "magically" pop into view.
As Hugard and Braue noted in their classic tome, Expert Card Technique, "Of all the tricks with playing cards, as much thought has been expended on the Four Ace trick as on any other—and the performers 'and performances' you'll watch and learn from on this DVD are ample evidence why."
