Anyone here does Ambitious card routine?
i does it with all the braue pop up move , invincible pass etc.
any recommandation to add any move to this routine?

I think you mean invisible pass? Anyway that is not the sleight's real name. It is a commercial name if i am not wrong. Read traditional magic books and you won't find this name.

I won't suggest anything to add to your routine because i think a personal routine should have your personal style even if it is common.
I would suggest you look up on all ambitious card performance for inspiration and your own personal routine.
I had a tough time coming up with my own because I copied too many moves of other people which I am not very good at.
Now I have simple direct routine and with my presentation I still amaze people.

Lastly, a killer ending is good. If you have seen Kammagic's ACR or Michael Ammar's, you will know what I mean.

One more lastly :X
Make sure you are 101% comfortable with your routine and presentation is the most important. Check out Tommy Wonder's ACR(his ending kills!).

p/s I hope the information helps and if you are experienced and find me too naggy, no offense.

'Invisible Pass' = 'Turnover Pass' = 'Hermann Shift'

Invented by Alexander Hermann, the French Magician.

Apparently in its day it was quite a magician fooler.

Invisible is not classic?

Sorry for the poor English. My English is poor :)

I think there's a pretty good DVD on Ambitious Card - Extremely Ambitious from Jay Sankey that has a lot of different moves and discussion on ambitious card. Worthy of a look if you're looking at adding to your ambitious card routine. I recall it is pretty comprehensive.

I never came across Ambitious Card from jay sankey DVD :huh:

Then go look for it.

Its on ambitious card. THe DVD name is "Extremely Ambitious".

jay's DVD is very comprehensive. I would highly recommend you pick it up
And tailor your routine. Importantly you have to be comfortable with the patter as there is a fair bit of misdirection. My routine is quite similar to Oz's variation.

I have some old version of jay's DVD but not on the ambitious card routine.
I'll try look for it :)

The dvd that they are talking about is a newly released one , I don't think it is part of your dvds .

Hey,

Extremely Ambitious is good.

I have Daryl's Ambitious Card Routine.

His teaching is very clear. I-Like

^_^

i normally dun do ACR cuz of the DL T_T. (My Hands are small.)

so i Learn Fireworks by Aldo Columbini.

*Please use abbreviations for sleights and proper English*

I believe Daryl's materials are good. ACR is a wonderful impromptu card trick and its a pity that you cannot do it because you cant do a DL. Maybe you should come for the gathering to get tips and if I go down, I may help you find your way of DL.

There are many ways to do DL and to me it is a sleight and a foundation for card magic.

I would say ACR is one classic routine that every magician must have. So it is important that do can do one ACR comfortably. Since it is a classic, you should tailor your routine to make it different from others. Im pretty sure everyone have different version of this routine.

Not to worry about the DL, presentation and a little bit of misdirection (eg. talking) would be fine for you to complete the trick without audience suspecting.

It is easily one of those strongest impromptu card trick I would say. Hence my suggestion is, tailor yourself one, practice it well and present it confidently. You will do great then.

I guess we can pretty much judge one's card skills through how professionally one presents his ACR, in my opinion.

And I agree that a little misdirection can make sleights easier. Try out a short ACR first, no matter how short, people are always amazed by the fact that the card rises to the top.
