Watch Ryan Plunkett demonstrate his fantastic routine, Ace on Top, live at the Chicago Magic Lounge!
Ryan Plunkett's Distilled is a handsome, 200-page volume of practical and professional material, plucked straight from his working repertoire. Like a fine whiskey, this collection of ten routines was distilled and refined slowly and carefully, over time.
Ryan Plunkett, a founding ensemble member and resident magician at the famous Chicago Magic Lounge, performs this material every night for sold-out audiences. He teaches clever and intriguing versions of classics like card-through-handkerchief ("Paper and Silk") and his version of ACAAN ("Any Card at Our Numbers.") Then there are more unusual plots, like "Fan Mail," in which a free selection matches a card found in a piece of fan mail, and "Gravity Deck," a strange vanish of a pack of cards wherein the spectator actually feels the weight of the deck diminish.
As Mike Pisciotta explains in the foreword, Ryan is, “a magician who takes the time to analyze the audience’s reactions to the material time and again, all while honing and fine tuning each piece for maximum impact.” And it shows: Ryan is a favorite at the Chicago Magic Lounge, and performs across the country at private and corporate events.

Love this relaxed routine. He takes his time for the necessary explaining, such a joy to watch!

Beautiful work. It's amazing how much is done in plain sight, and nobody spots it.

SO WELL DESIGNED ROUTINE !!

[@joshography]

Wonderful thinking. This feels like a hybrid of ambitious card meets oil and water.

I was also thinking it felt a little like ambitious classic. Better in some ways. The one thing from ambitious classic, that one move, I wish that one move was in this routine.

Except for the cheesy 90's-magician jokes, very nice trick.
