Ed Marlo - The Legend - Volume 2

Taped at the same time as The Cardician but released eleven years later this broadcast quality DVD once again allows you to experience Edward Marlo in his prime. You will learn many of Marlo's favorite routines and techniques as only he could demonstrate them. It is full of card magic that Marlo students have always yearned to see.

Routines and techniques performed and explained:

• The Leaper: A shuffled deck is cut in half and a selected card jumps from the top of the spectator's packet to the magician's packet.
• Ace Shuffle Sequence: You shuffle to, and cut to, the four aces from a previously shuffled deck.
• Multiple Minus Bottom: A spectator decides the order of the four aces and at what positions they will be dealt from the deck.
• Mock Center: A center dealing demonstration where the four aces are placed face down in the center of a face up deck and are dealt during a poker deal.
• Mock Faro: The red and the black cards are interweaved so they alternate but upon displaying the cards they are separated into reds and blacks.
• The Six Card Trick: A quick and direct version of the six-card repeat which has a kicker ending and uses a regular deck.
