Technicolor Progressive - Allan Ackerman

Click here for a routine that I often perform before the Technicolor Progressive: • Hotel Mystery - a hand... .
For a collection of videos from All-In check: allanackerman.....
In 1958, Lin Searles published a routine called Ultimate Aces, a red-blue back ace assembly. In the seventies, Ken Krenzel introduced the progressive ace assembly plot. In the Technicolor Progressive, I combine the two plots. My first version appears in my Al Cardpone lecture notes in 1996. I improved my handling that same year, and I finally published that variation in 2012 in the Cardjurer lecture notes, and it is also in All-In Vol 1, page 75.

Glad you liked it!! - John I found my copy of TKO's, it does not have the version of Open Traveler's I told you about, I will contact some of the Chicago magi and maybe they will remember.

Pour le dernier paquet la version de faire montrer les 4 cartes a dos rouges et différente du bouquin la routine et fantastique

[@allanackerman4848]

Thank you and glad you liked the handling.👍

[@niky71]

Gorgeous routine Allan! It is a valid example of how essential it is to study the introductory part on the techniques in "All in". Even classic tecniques are revised and treated in order to be memorable and, consequently, the effects are memorable!

[@allanackerman4848]

Thanks Niky - glad you liked the routine.

[@marektomanek1913]

Your books All in are great love both volumes - for me some of the routines are pretty hard but some I can do - love that you will post each routine how it should look like :)

[@LasVegasMagicFriends]

💯

[@allanackerman4848]

Glad some of the routines are going in your repertoire. Remember part of the fun of card magic is practice, so do not give up on some of the harder ones. Memdecks are hard at first, but then become second nature, and such a powerful tool.👍

[@marektomanek1913]

@@allanackerman4848 Thanks Allan :) yes the mem deck I am working on the stack :) from the book because I want to get into it :)

[@magicbydc]

I love this routine, having the videos is really helpful to study the books!
Would you recommend doing this routine after a "standard" ace assembly (cards with same back color)? Saying for example, I will do it again, but this time with different backs so you can really follow those aces.

[@allanackerman4848]

If you get the comment that we often get "would you do that again" Then a second version using another M.O. would work.

[@jonahberg9280]

What was it like learning from ed Marlo what was he like ? Who else had an influence on your card work and do you have any intresting stories that happened

[@allanackerman4848]

I was super lucky growing up in Chicago. I got to hang out with Ed almost every Saturday for three years. I even got to hang out with Charlie Miller for about six months as he had an extended stay in Chicago and would often come to the sessions. The other major influence in my early years was Roger Klause.

[@joedefelice7001]

I would have lost the $100 to Allan!! I can see nothing!!
I better go to the eye doctor!

[@allanackerman4848]

Glad you liked the routine Joe.👍
