Dream of Aces - EPIC Card Trick Tutorial

I've been slowly getting back into the rhythm of creating content, and I'm excited to share a new video with you! Since this is the first video I've released in a while, I wanted to teach an extra special card effect... The Dream of Aces card trick (also known as Mcdonalds Aces).

The aces magically vanish one at a time, and then reappear moments later next to the leader ace (the ace of spades). This is a classic plot in magic and so many different magicians have worked on it throughout the years. Even David Copperfield performed a version of this on national television; and for a very good reason.

Music - Scribbled Notes by Johannes Bornlof

It's great to be back! I missed you all <3

[ezra]

The music compliments this trick perfectly. Great job.

Oh no! You’re showing the best trick with the four Aces ever. It’s really an old trick and for the past 50 years it has been rarely seen. It has been my signature ending trick for 60 years. It always gets great reactions. This trick really deserves a renaissance and I’m glad you’re featuring it here. I rarely preform anymore so getting this trick out to more popular is exciting for me. This routine that you teach here is wonderful. I usually do it where the magic happens in four spectator’s hands. BTW you’ve done an excellent job of teaching in this video (as you have done in your many 52Kardd videos). You are a great resource for the magic community. Thank you.

Damn it’s been a while. Glad you’re back. I remember watching your vids all the time 4 years ago when I just started out in magic

Thank you so much for all your videos. I have been a fan for a long time and your videos have helped me become confident so that I can share my own magic videos on YouTube. I recently started my channel and I just uploaded a performance of this trick on my YouTube channel. Thank you again so much for your awesome videos.

[georgelaing]

This was a basic routine of this type
that was very well presented. I hope
to see more of your videos!

[nikolasbartell]

Just the way you turn all the aces around at the end is so satisfying to watch

[bobg]

You explain things so clearly, Asad! I've been a fan for years. Would love it if you would teach the Hamman Count.

[tiagogoncaloraposo]

Tip for those who may struggle with the Elmsley count, if you count in your head "1, and, 2, and, 3, and 4" it will help give a nice flowing rhythm and give you a timer when to 'push' the double packet over. By this I mean on 1 you slide the first card off into your left hand, on the first "and" you do the pull with your thumb and push with your fingers and at the same time start moving the single card back into the pack. 2 is when you take the double packet and ditch the single, and then 3 and 4 for completion.

That performance in the beginning was so beautiful, GREAT music too.

[gladiator]

What a beautiful music! I wish all magic tutorials had this music!!
