Hey guys...

I made this awesome ender to a ACR, but it involves a deck switch. I don't know how to switch a deck in the context of a Ambitious Card Routine. There is no reasone to put a deck in my pocket...

Any tips or methods on how I can swap out a deck, without being to suss about it?

Thanks In Advance

Generation Extreme teaches a good deck switch in the showoff routine.

I don't think you should buy it just for that, but there are other things you can see in it too.

Daryl's ACR involves a half deck switch. It's on his DVD "Ambitious Card".

Card College covers deck switches very well. In fact, Card College covers almost everything about sleight of hand card magic really well. Buy it, and you have a solution for that and many problems in future.

use a deck shell. its a very easy way to do it. the switch itself draws little attention as long as you can misdirect. trust me. if you want to get a deck shell i recomend getting blizzard. the trick is great and it comes with a shell

Daniel Madison explains some on his cardcheat handbook

In one of Daniel Madison's PDF's he teaches a nice deck switch. I don't remember which PDF it's in though. I Think it was in ONE or TWO.

a deck shell is very simmilar to a coin shell in that it houses another object. the deck shell is basicaly a piece of metal that looks like a card box however the bottom is cut out and it is expanded so i fits nice and easy. there is a deck shell dvd on penguinmagic.com but i dont think it comes with the shell

Hey, if you're still interested I have a deck switch that requires no sleeves, no jacket, no pocket, no topit, no gimmicks, no gaffs, no pulleys, no weights or anything that you would probably expect a deck switch to involve.

I'll not lie, it's ballsy and you have to think of a decent reason for it but I have done it and it has worked... There's no explanation.

PM me if you'd like to know. :)

i would however do it more simple and openly

i would have a DL, let the spectator hold the card
put cards in cardcase, reach in your pockets for a rubber band
swich the two decks in reaching for the band

let them push it into the case w switched deck, put rubber band around, make it rise to the top,
and viola

idea from daryl to hold the card, and from jay sankey for the rubber band
