"Picturesque is magnifique!" - Larry Wilmore

McDonald’s Aces is a classic in magic. Aces are distributed into four separate packets of cards, and with a magical gesture, the aces are transported to the leader packet. The effect is clear, and the gimmicks make the effect absolutely impossible. John Guastaferro and David Regal have joined forces to create one of the most elegant and magical solutions to McDonald’s Aces. This is Picturesque by John Guastaferro & David Regal.
The core routine of the project is John Guastaferro’s effect Picturesque. This unique handling of the McDonald’s Ace Assembly is beautiful, fooling, and, in a word, Picturesque. John has reworked the classic routine into a masterpiece that fools magicians and laypeople alike. The switches, displays, and counts are all motivated and choreographed to make the effect almost a ballet of card magic. The best part is that it’s easy for magicians of all skill levels to perform.
You also receive two additional routines:
Vino Royale: a parlor version of the Picturesque effect using wine glasses where the magic happens with the clink of a glass.
Royal Gathering: David Regal’s approach to Picturesque where not only do the aces assemble, but the court cards also gather into their own discrete packets even though they have been thoroughly mixed.
WHAT’S INCLUDED:
• TWO sets of Picturesque gimmicks (at a lower price than the original Picturesque)
• Extra set of standard McDonald’s Aces cards
• Special “cheat sheet” card with quick set-up instructions for all three routines
• Live audience performance footage
• Brand new studio quality instructions, history, moves, and performance tips
David and John take you inside their thinking of this beautiful trick in more depth than ever before. If you’ve never performed an ace assembly before, this is the perfect entrance to one of the best card tricks in magic. If you already perform McDonald’s Aces, you will learn to turn a trick into art, that is, in a word, Picturesque.
