Ace Cutting

Mago Migue (Miguel Puga) performs comedy close-up magic with cards. 

The saying goes, "Put your faith in providence but always cut the cards." In this extended gambling expoé, Juan Tamariz & Pepe Carroll discuss methods for nullifying the cut in a card game.

Miguel Aparicio, a magician from Granada, performs magic with jumbo playing cards including cutting to the four kings and the production of a royal flush. He also performs a version of Brother John Hamman's "The Signed Card" (The Secrets of Brother John Hamman by Richard Kaufman.)

René Lavand performs his version of "Cutting the Aces" based upon the original Dai Vernon routine from Stars of Magic. 

Juan Tamariz performs close-up card magic with his co-hosts on Chantatachán.

Chantatachán was a program produced for Telemadrid in 1992-93. We would like to thank Juan Tamariz and Luis Piedrahita for making this content available.

Juan Tamariz enters carrying a deck of cards and playing the Harmonica. After that it becomes rather difficult to explain.
