Hey guys, I recently shot a new video of my doing basic ACR routine and a card transpo with my presentation on it. Let me know what you guys think.

I loved every second of it Patrick. This is what magic is all about. Simple, hard hitting, magic that everyone can follow and understand. Nicely done and thanks for sharing.
 
Excellent. Shot brilliantly, performed even better, thats as good as the ambitious card gets. We all love watching magic performed as it should be, more videos would be awesome.
 
That is my favorite ACR so far. Unbelievably simple and magical. =D
And next time, wear a long-sleeved shirt please? It's distracting my eyes from the magic itself.
 
Hey! I love how you started with the transpo and went to ACR. I've never thought of using hand to mouth for one of the phases! Awesome stuff man!
 
Well, I want to know. I'm new to magic and I know that ACR mean Ambitious card routine, but what it an Ambitious card routine? Does it mean to put a card back on the top or it could include more?
 
Great stuff, Patrick. These are the kind of videos that I wish magicians, particularly those on T11 and Ellusionist, came out with more often. It's refreshing to watch good, uncut performances of magic. Keep it up :)
 
To my understanding, an Ambitious Card Routine (ACR) is a routine in which a selected or signed card rises to the top of the deck under exceedingly impossible conditions. There can be other themes in the routine too, but the idea of the card rising to the top is the most basic type of ACR.
 
I love the title...The ACR was awesome...one of my favorite up close tricks. When people ask me "How do you do that?" I say "It's simply magic." Good stuff.
