Description

Discover the elegance and precision of Jon Racherbaumer’s The Ascanio Spread, a masterful false display move designed to showcase four cards while cleverly concealing a fifth. This technique, originally perfected by the legendary Arturo Ascanio, has been brought to life through the collaborative efforts of magic greats such as Del Cartier, Herb Zarrow, Mike Rogers, and Pete Biro.

From the Introduction:

The Ascanio Spread immigrated to this country from Amsterdam. Del Cartier, Herb Zarrow, Mike Rogers, and Pete Biro were instrumental in bringing this technique to America. In fact, Del Cartier is a close personal friend of Ascanio and was the go-between in obtaining the original Ascanio manuscript for Mike Rogers, who in turn passed it on to me.
