Card Throwing, Flicks, Nicks and other cool tricks with cards
Question: What do you get when you cross a 92 m.p.h. fastball with a young man from Ohio who harbors an intense love of card magic?
Answer: The Guinness World Record for throwing a playing card further than anyone else in history. The young man is Rick Smith, Jr. and on March 21, 2002, he obliterated the world record for card throwing with a laser beam toss of 216' 4" eclipsing the previous longstanding mark by over 15'!

The Ace Assembly theme is a classic one. Jennings credits Bill Miesel as the first to create a card assembly effect. Here you will learn Larry Jennings' variation which avoids bringing the deck and the aces together. The four aces are shown one at a time. Very slowly one by one and absolutely fairly three aces travel to the leader ace.

"I love this trick. It is one of my favorite packet routines." - David Devlin
"Raphael has a new packet effect based on the Friday The 13th movies that is off the chain!" - Cameron Francis
You display a packet of blue backed cards as you offer to explain to the audience your own remake of the “Friday the 13th” movie... with just a bunch of cards! Each card represents a character from the movie.
First, you introduce the Jack of Spades which symbolizes the killer. You explain that a legend says that a young boy tragically drowned in a lake during summer camp because the counselors didn't pay attention....
This is one of the slickest and cleanest prediction effects I know.
A spectator gets a sealed envelope to keep, circles one classified ad in a newspaper, and removes a bill from her wallet and signs it with her initials. Another spectator completely fairly selects a card from a spectator shuffled pack. Despite all of these fair and clean selections the mentalist has predicted all of them. The selected card is printed on the newspaper, and the prediction envelope holds the serial number of the bill and a copy of the classified which was freely selected by the spectator.

This is one of Andrew's favourite routines. He has been performing Kollectors Revisited for many years in his act and he regards this effect as his pet routine.
This effect plays big and best of all, it's impromptu and can be performed with a borrowed deck.
In addition, if you are going to perform card magic that has great impact to layman, this effect is for you. This effect involves three freely selected cards and they can be signed. You cause their signed selections to vanish into thin air and magically, the selections appear in a very magical manner.

This book has long become a classic for close-up magicians. I have acquired a box as part of a larger deal and am pricing it ridiculously low. If you already have this buy three more copies and hand them out as gifts. Your friends will love you.

The most successful effect of this kind was Dan Harlan's CardToon where a deck of cards doubled as a flip book. Riffling through the cards one would see a cartoon magician drawn on the backs find and reveal a chosen card. This effect was a huge success, potentially it was the most successful magic trick of all times (my guess, I don't really know).
Toony Angel builds on the basic idea to use a deck of cards as a flip book, but rather than animate a cartoon character on the back, the angel on the bicycle, from the Bicycle back design, starts to cycle towards you, zips around on the back of the card and...
The performer displays a small stack of cards showing an illustration of a glass full of red wine, the glass still has a price tag attached to its stem. A spectator is asked to sign their name/initials on the price tag for identity purposes. The performer takes the card and visibly squeezes wine from the card into a small glass. The card is now shown to the spectator but the glass is now empty...amazingly the price tag still has their signature written on it...a miracle.
The gimmick that allows you to squeeze wine from the card is very well made from aluminium and plastic and can be used...
The performer displays a stack of business cards which each have a magical logo and the phrase "For Astonishment..." on them. The spectator initials the top card of the stack and a playing card is also selected, but not yet revealed. The performer flips through the stack of cards and the printed letters move slowly at first, then begin careening all over the card, bouncing off the edges and each other. As the letters slow down, they are seen to be forming into new words in an "anagramic" way. When they are finished moving, they read "Nine Of Hearts!" When the spectator's selected card is revealed...

Imagine this: You show your lucky Joker - it's folded and stapled firmly to the card case. A card is selected, let's say it's the Jack of Clubs. It is placed face up in the centre of the pack. With just a wave of your magic wand (Sharpie marker!) A face up Joker is discovered in the centre of the pack! On closer inspection it is found to be creased and bears little staple holes. When the card case is turned over we now find that the card firmly stapled to the card case is the Jack of Clubs! And, it can all be examined.
This 13 minute video will explain everything you need to make the very...
Effect: You show a deck of playing cards - they're blank on the back and on the face you have written all the letters of the alphabet, one letter on each card. The spectator shuffles the deck and selects any four cards. He is then asked to form a word from the four cards chosen. If it so happens that he can make more than one word - he is allowed a COMPLETELY FREE CHOICE of which word he would like to settle on. A prediction that has been in full view throughout is then shown to accuratley match the freely chosen word!
Idiom truly is an audience pleaser. The organic props are genuinely interesting...
Hallucination is Andrew's first packet trick that is very easy to do and highly entertaining.
Basically, this effect involves four Queens and you magically cause any two Queens to penetrate with the other two Queens visually.
At the end, you cause all the Queens to vanish magically leaving the blank cards on the table!
There is no slit or any special cut-out card at all in this effect.
This ebook is not suitable for beginners. While all the moves are explained clearly some previous card handling experience is preferable.

Effect: You announce that you will give a demonstration of shuffle tracking but that you will go even further than normal and actually track cards in a deck which is mixed face up and face down.
