Best way to end a tabled ACR

I typically like to do Michael Ammars routine with a card in wallet finish courtesy of the every man's wallet, however I perfer to do that standing as I typically perform with the wallet in my back pocket. I can do the bent card finish but I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas for a tabled finish

Omni deck?

Have you seen Daryl's version? It's lovely

Was going to say this. The magic palace one is so good but when he wraps the deck in rope is fantastic too

Whats different in the updated daryl version? I saw something where they use the card box now instead of a rope to conceal. Any thoughts

u/SkinGlue 9d ago

Idk how “updated” it is, the one I’m referring to is from 20 years ago with the rope:

Look at Gregory Wilson's card to box routine. It's on his At The Table lecture.

What? The entire point of “Solid Deception” is that you can do an ACR without a deck switch.

u/Danielrmk 6d ago

Yeah, you can perform a short act with the SD deck , but what is so shocking about doing a switch, one more phase and then SD? The individuality of the cards is shown without the shadow of a doubt , which will only help emphasize the contrast with the solid deck.

Sorry to be so defensive about it but there is no reason not to try and improve the structure of the trick and make it more magical.

Horses for courses. I’ve been doing it since it was first published 50 years ago and audiences love it. also, I’m using it in my professional strolling gigs, so it would be the only card trick I’d be doing for that group. I don’t carry it EDC; that’s where I’d use a regular deck.

And I agree, I just mentioned it could be a great addition to end an ACR set.

u/EricHenning 5d ago

And I also agree with you on that.

I'm a big fan of card to matchbox or card under tablecloth.

u/EricHenning 9d ago

You can do a no-palm Card to Wallet while seated. Hint: it uses the DB card included in most new decks.

If you can do an MCF, any mystery box will work or paperclipped by Jay Sankey. Another hidden gem is Jonathan Kamm's routine. You can see a performance on YouTube or you can get Toibox from Penguin magic I think?
