You'll learn the original "MacDonald's Aces" routine before diving into the JPV's modernized version that has been reinvented to guarantee maximum impact and even leaves you with examinable cards.
The Original Classic
Discover the classic of magic that has fascinated audiences for decades. "MacDonald's Aces" is one of the most beloved gaffed Ace Assembly routines ever created. Four Aces are placed face up on the table before being covered by three face-down cards. One by one, the Aces vanish from their piles and reappear in the fourth pile held by your participant. The fact it offers multiple visual moments, and concludes with magic that happens in their hands, is why "MacDonald's Aces" has stood the test of time. JPV teaches you this original routine to ensure you understand the core principles before moving on to his version.
The Reimagined Modern Gem
Building on the core concepts taught to you in the original, JPV adds his own personalized touches and subtleties. The strength of this elegant new routine comes from how the presentation has been completely restructured fro maximum surprise and wonder. It holds true to its core roots, while also offering an exciting new approach for modern magicians.
Since the backs and faces of the cards are visible throughout the routine, each transformation is significantly more impactful. Each of these beautifully choreographed magical moments also happens in its own unique way to ensure the audience remains intrigued throughout the routine. And the best part? This version has been constructed in a way that allows you to leave the cards out for examination.
No difficult sleight of hand is required to perform "Ultimate MacDonald". This highly-accessible new version can be learned by anyone with a basic understanding of card magic.
Comes with instructional video and special Bicycle cards.
