The Collected Works of Alex Elmsley (Vol. 2)

Product detailed description

This is the second half of a massive collection of card techniques and tricks by the legendary magician Alex Elmsley.

Alex Elmsley was a programmer by profession. His passion was magic, especially card magic. Over the course of his life, he devised dozens of tricks and techniques that are still used by magicians today. Perhaps Elmsley’s best-known technique is the Ghost Count, which, however, was named after its creator as the Elmsley Count.

Dazzle - The Jokers continuously change their backs to match the cards they come into contact with.

You can watch a performance of this effect in the “Videos” tab.

Between Your Palms - At the beginning, you place a mysterious card into the spectator’s hands. The spectators then choose three cards, one of which is signed. You find the first two in unusual places and also place them in the spectator’s hands. And where is the third, signed card? The spectator had it in their hands the whole time!

Faro Shuffle - One chapter is dedicated to the Faro Shuffle and the associated mathematics that affect the deck of cards.

And much more!
