In this volume of Richard Osterlind's landmark video series, he shares perhaps his greatest contribution to magic and mentalism-the Breakthrough Card System, considered by many to be the most ingenious playing card stack ever devised.

This effect, one that will play to the largest audience, has been a staple in Osterlind's stage show for over two decades. * Two Cards in Pocket - A spectator places two cards in his pockets from a deck he's been mixing. Not only does the performer name them but also divines which one is in which pocket. This is a true killer! * Challenge Mind Reading - A thought-of card is named without the performer ever touching the deck. Quite possibly the most impossible-looking card trick ever! * Corinda Effect - The performer names a card that was reversed in the deck by a spectator while he was holding the deck underneath the table. This is the trick that started it all! Blackjack Demonstration - Your spectators will be convinced that you are the greatest blackjack player ever! You not only know their hole card but also instruct them, quite successfully, on how to play their hands!

Otero, Luis - Enlightened Card Magic DVD
Luis Otero is one of Latin America's leading professional magicians. He is in constant demand for his shows at theaters, private parties and corporate events. He has many television appearances to his credit in addition to performing and lecturing worldwide. He began his career as a very successful restaurant magician in Venezuela where he also founded the Sociedad Venezolana de Ilusionismo and the Escuela Cartomágica de Caracas. On this DVD he performs and teaches the outstanding and well-thought-out card routines that he performs for lay people and magicians. This is a repertoire of advanced card magic that is beautifully routined and presented. Routines performed and explained: Otero Opener: A visual routine where a card is inserted face up into the deck so half of it sticks out. While in full view the card instantly turns face down and just as visually it changes into the face up selection. Transposition By Estimation: A selected card is lost in the deck and a favorite card is placed under a spectator's hand. A number is named as you cut a packet containing that many cards. The card at the named number is shown to be the favorite card while the actual selection is found under the spectator's hand. Card To Bill Change: A selected card visually changes into paper money and is later found in your pocket. Cartogami: A signed bill is folded and placed inside a card box while a signed selection is lost in the deck. You make three attempts to find the card. On the third attempt you fold the signed bill using "Cartogami" as it visually changes into the signed selection. The signed bill is then found back in the card box. Super Jazz Aces: An Ace Assembly based on the Peter Kane classic where the aces vanish one at a time from between indifferent cards and appear in a leader packet. As a kicker finale all four Aces change places with the four indifferent cards. Rapidigitation: A card is looked at in the deck. The deck is spread on the table and in an instant you reach inside and pluck the selection. Record Aces: A masterful routine where the four Aces are lost and shuffled into the deck as you immediately cut to them in record time. As a kicker ending the deck is now shown in new deck order with the rest of the cards in numerical and suit order. Vanishing Collectors: The four Aces are placed on the table as three cards are selected and lost in the deck. The four Aces then vanish one at a time while face-up on top of the deck. When the deck is spread the four aces are seen face-up with the selections sandwiched between them. Customized Coincidence: This is a showpiece that Luis uses to close his shows and frequently get standing ovations. The multiphase routine begins with the spectator shuffling the deck face-up and face-down and continues with many coincidences where selected cards match their mates under impossible conditions. The deck is then used for a card control sequence where the cards obey your command as they are found in any face-up and face-down sequence you or the spectators request. As an amazing finale the face-up and face-down cards are now shown to be in identical order. Running Time Approximately 95min

Ouellet, Gary - Dream of Aces DVD and Gimmicks
In mid 1992, Gary Ouellet taught his handling for “MacDonald’s Aces” to Alain Choquette, so that Alain could use the routine to close his fifth successful television season. One week later, Alain also performed it in the middle of his live stage show, before a crowd of 1000 spectators, using a hand-held television camera and a large projection screen. At the climax of the routine, 1000 spectators rose to their feet and gave Alain a standing ovation - in the middle of his performance - after a card trick! Soon after, David Copperfield adopted the routine, then adapted it for his 15th CBS special! The effect follows along classical lines: The magician cuts a deck of cards and produces the four aces. Each ace is then covered with three indifferent cards. Three of the aces vanish from their piles and reappear together in one pile. What makes this version different? It will not require months of practice. The handling is economical, deceptive and pleasing to the eye. The presentation offers a beautiful emotional hook. And finally, it is quite simply exquisite magic! This is the most elegant approach ever to one of the world’s greatest card tricks! You are supplied with a 42 page booklet, lavishly photo-illustrated in the Masters of Magic tradition, plus a VHS companion video showing Gary performing the routine, followed by an Alain Choquette performance. Also included are the required cards, which have been manufactured to our specifications on poker-size U.S. Playing Card stock!.
