always says that thinking kills magic, and if I m showing off a one-handed cut
during the course of the routine, I want it to be surefire. This one is. Enjoy.
THE MACHIAVELLI PRODUCTION
INTRO: A one handed (almost) ace production.
WHAT: One ace is produced and left out jogged in the center of the deck. A one
handed cut is demonstrated, and the other three aces appear.
HOW: The set up from the top down is:
Two Aces Face Down
One Ace Face Up
Rest of the Deck
One Ace Face Up
Next, you somehow need to get the top ace face up and out jogged in the center of
the deck. I do have a one handed method for this but do not feel like disclosing it
EVER, so you ll have to come up with your own. You could use an Eddie
Taytlebaum move (find it in Lee Asher s Close Cover Before Striking notes) or
anything else you want. Hell, you could even just put it there.
Figure 1.
Next, you are going to do the ANOTHER FREAKIN one handed cut with the out
jogged ace in the center. As long as you don t break directly at the ace, you can do
this.
Figure 2. Cut in action.
Figure 3. Cut in action.
You will ultimately end up in this position:
Figure 4.
This, coincidentally, is the perfect position to do Brian Tudor s Awesome Blossom
production. Do this by clipping the top card (a face down ace) under your thumb.
(Figure 5.)
Figure 5.
Then, lift up with your thumb and push out the bottom card with your fingers,
giving you your final display position. (Figure 6).
Figure 6.
That s it.
QUICK RECAP:
1. Set up from the top down: Two face down aces, one face up ace, rest of deck,
one face up ace.
2. Out jog the top ace face up in the center of the deck.
3. Perform ANOTHER FREAKIN ONE HANDED cut.
4. Clip the top ace under you thumb.
5. Lift with thumb and extend with the fingers, giving you the display.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Cute production. Not like you need it, but hey, here it is. Of course, a bunch of you
will flame me for being unoriginal or something like that, but whatever. Its
practical, and impressive, and a nice alternative to all those two handed ace
productions out there.
IN CONCLUSION:
Art is based on aesthetic, and what is more aesthetically pleasing in magic
than flourishes and smooth, perfect card handling? Look at all the great magicians
who use flourishes: Jeff McBride, Shimada, Channing Pollock, Lance Burton,
Mahka Tendo, Norbert Ferre, etc, etc,
I think that it s a matter of opinion, ultimately, and I know I ve voiced mine.
Still, maybe this material will show you the possibility of cross-overs. But then
again, maybe not. Either way, keep practicing.
