The Hoff by Josh Burch
"A super clever take on a classic plot. A hands-hoff handling of the ace problem that’s definitely worth checking out." - Sebastian Midtvage
"The Hofzinser Ace Problem is my favorite plot in card magic. This is the best way to do it!" - Josh Burch
"This is a great hands-off trick. Not only that but the spectator
gets to make the selection in their own hands! I think Hofzinser would
think this is pretty cool!!!" - Nathan Kranzo
"This is one of those 2 punch tricks, where if you don't get them in
the first part, you'll knock 'em out in the second! Fantastic work and
thinking from Josh as always." - Andrew Neiner
"If you have always wanted to perform the infamous Hofzinger Ace
Problem, then you need to forget about the hassle and get THE HOFF!" - Cody S. Fisher
You'll fool everybody, and they never see the twist coming!
The Hoff is a hands-off miracle where the aces not only divine the card
selected by the spectator, but you also get a killer transposition that
requires no moves. Josh Burch is back with a killer approach to
Hofzinser’s Ace Problem that your audiences will love. This is The Hoff
by Josh Burch.
Here’s what happens:
The four aces are produced and then placed off to the side. A spectator
takes the deck under the table and cuts the deck to select a card. With a
wave of the hand, one of the aces mysteriously turns face down. When
the selected card is revealed, it is discovered that the suit of the
selected card matches the ace that has turned face down. The deck is
placed back on the table, and after a magical gesture, the deck is
spread on the table to reveal that a card has turned face up in the
middle of the deck. Impossibly the face-up card in the middle of the
deck is the ace that was face down, and when the face-down card between
the other aces is turned over, it is discovered to be the selected card.
The Hoff comes with specially printed cards on Maiden Back cards that do
all of the work for you. In addition to this amazing trick, you will
also learn a fun ace production that you can use in your other routines.
The Hoff is a killer opener for any card set and an engaging effect
that will baffle your audience. Give your audience a card mystery that
they will never forget with The Hoff by Josh Burch.
