Out of this World - my first card effect

- Paul Curry's Out of this World is one great trick. Dr. Harlan Tarbell taught me this effect when I was nine years old. He really had an excellent way to end the routine. I put this in a set of lecture notes called Wednesday Nights in 1993. I still see many magicians having trouble with the cleanup at the end of the effect. I hope this video will give you the perfect solution.
Thanks for stopping by and visiting my channel. I will be posting some videos of some of my published items on UA-cam and on my website - www.allanackerman.com.
Congratulations beautiful effect! I also find this version of Michael Ammar very interesting:

.. in particular, for how in the final he turns the cards of the piles ... what do you think? Thanks!
@@tubyno Thanks for sending me the link -- I did read an ending like this in the New Tops Magazine in the 60s. It is very good and adds to the routine. Mike's switch of the two packets is close to what Doc Tarbell showed me and I like the way Doc gave a reason for switching the colors in the middle of the routine. It's still a great trick after all these years.
@@allanackerman4848 In Ammar's version, to perform the swap, first turn one of the other two bunches to the viewer, while in your version, you turn one of the other two bunches first and then the viewer: I'd like your comment about it.
Thank you very much and sorry for my not perfect English, I'm Italian!
Disrespectful kid schooled by the master. Right on.
Paul curry plot..one of the strongest effect ever....My compliment your version is very clean without suspecious move👌👏
Thank you so much 😀
Great spot to do mentalism - amazing focus and wonderful atmosphere?
I learned this effect when I was nine -- my first card trick and was taught to me by a master, Dr. Harlan Tarbell😊
Allan, OOTW is my all-time favourite trick! It's the one that got me into magic when a magician blew my mind with it as a youngster! Thank you for demonstrating my favourite version of it :)
_Young interviewer_ I do hope this opportunity with Allan encourages you to learn some magic history - Tarbell is a HUGE name in the world of magic and Out of This World is perhaps THE most famous trick (apart from Any Card at Any Number). I'm amazed that you haven't heard of them but hopefully you're curious now. But _most of all_ please put your cards down when someone is talking to you and _especially_ resist the temptation to try to show off your flourishes when someone else (especially a much-revered expert like Mr Ackerman) is performing - it's not cool. If the deck had been gimmicked in any way your 'fancy' shuffling would have exposed another magician's method. Next time just be the best kind of spectator that YOU would like to encounter.
Amazing story…a fantastic presentation. I studied your advanced card control #3 from VHS days. One of my favorites magic tapes…thank you :)
Thank you - glad you enjoyed the handle ♦️👍😊
Great. liked a lot the subtle justification for reversing the colours, and also the misdirection/ delayed revelation at the end.
Haven't seen/heard some of the subtleties that you used in this video. Great additions, thank you for sharing
Glad you like them!
I just love it.. this simple classic handling. I like how you pick the cards the first half.. seems totally fair. Doesn't require a special setup.. very nice.. pretty dang magical :) I am gonna try this on my BF just like first before trying other variations :)
Like to see what you come up with - a trick is never done -- always room to grow.
Great version of "out of this world" thankyou
Andy, glad you liked the handling -- Doc Tarbell taught me this routine when I was a small boy and I having been doing this routine for sixty some years now.
Picking blacks then reds, or vise versa, right?
Who’s the dude interviewing you? He’s a pain in the ass flicking his cards arrogantly while you are talking. He goes to deal the cards face up. He must have been expecting the bets version of Out Of This World ever.
what i wouldnt give to spend some time with an old time magic heavyweight like mr Ackerman !!! if you ever come to England please stop by for tea sir .. wonderful handling by the way ,id expert nothing less of course . stay safe Allan
Love Allen but interviewer dude STOP doing flourishes when the subject is speaking.
And maybe have some knowledge of the history of magic and also show a slight amount of enthusiasm.
Thank you for this wonderful piece of magic Mr Ackerman! I have performed a version of mine of Out of this world for years, I've been loving it and I thought I would never change for another one... but you almost made me change my mind!
(I'm sorry if I made mistakes in this comment, I'm not a native English speaker).
Need to thank Doctor Harlan Tarbell - he showed me this routine when I was a lad, still in grade school and still doing it 62 years later.
I love your handling and especially the ending the routine. Michael Ammar has a similar ending. I didn't know that it came from Dr. Tarbell. I have been performing OOTW since 1980 and was slightly uncomfortable with Curry's ending. I adopted Ammar's handling a few years ago and don't regret it. Who is that interviewer who tries to show his skill with a pack of cards while you are speaking? As far as I am concerned, he only showed is ignorance and unpoliteness.
Glad you enjoyed it!. Eben is my good friend and is my mentor on how to do UA-cam -- still learning the ropes on how to make video.
Dear Alan.
Please make a video with ackerman opener.
Thanks
I will do Jason -- that effect is still one of my favorites.♦️♣️♥️♠️
@allanackerman4848 thank a bunch sir!
I learned a lot from you!
If you could share with a link to ackerman card setting would be great.
Is the way you are performing it now how you wrote it up in Wednesday Night lecture notes? i.e. impromptu like this with a shuffled deck and first half dealt out by performer? I think it looks totally fair because the spexctator is calling out which piles to put it in each time.
Allan, is yoru Wednesday Night lecture notes going ot be in your new book? I really would love to read the Wednesday Night lecture notes.
Yes it is -- all the notes from 1993 and later
It is more like a mentalist magic for me.. "out of this world" .Would u please reveal the secret sir? Or some kind like a tutorial..
"Who is Doc Tarbell?" Really?
Doc Tarbell was a magician and mentalist from the last century. He worked in vaudeville and had a full evening show. I was lucky to see the full evening show when I was nine. He wrote the Tarbell Course in Magic, which is still in publication today. Just Google his name to find out more.👍
Thanks, Allen. I'm sorry I wasn't more clear on being facetious. I'm 70 and the very first magic books I bought for myself at 12 were all six volumes of his set. After devouring the books at our local library I was ready to dive in and what a great start that was.
I love that you could just sit being interviewed and casually say, "Sure, I'll be glad to show you that."
There are so many variations that have come from that brilliant basic handling. Thanks again! @@allanackerman4848
Watch out this man,he will cheat 😊
This is an old classic and have been doing this effect since I was nine. Doc Tarbell who wrote Tarbell Course in Magic, still in publication for all these years, personally taught me this method.♠️♥️♣️♦️
