I haven’t posted a blog in a while so I thought I would do one here goes.
The video below is a video of me performing a classic trick in magic by the “professor” Dai Vernon called “Twisting The Aces”
Time for Some history of me learning the trick and some of the trick’s history. I first learned this a while back from a book called “Dai Vernon's More Inner Secrets of Card Magic” by Lewis Ganson page’s 5-7. The book was first published in 1960 and is one of my favourite books of card magic. I recommend it to any card guy.
There are loads of versions of the trick that have been published over the years such as
Twixter by Jason Alford
NFW by Gary Freed
Lee Asher using his Asher Twist
Guy Hollingworth's Waving the Aces.
Roger Smith's Maxi Twist
Meir Yedid's Card Marx
McClintock Aces
Be sure to look these up if you want to learn more.
Well that’s enough history and references now here’s the video
Hope you enjoy the video
