Cards: page 44

These effects are creations by Didier Dupré. After the DVD Cartemania, the DVD that made Didier famous all over the world, we now present three more routines from this clever French magician. You will love them and we predict you will use them all the time. They all use regular cards.

CONTENTS:

• JOKER INVERSION: Four blue-backed Jokers turn around several times changing direction (at the beginning they are oriented towards the performer, then towards the spectators and then again towards the performer). At the end, they change into four Jokers with different colored backs. Everything can be examined. ...

An effect by Nick Trost. One of the most incredible routines with two (regular) decks of cards. A spectator selects four cards from a red-backed deck, without looking at their faces. These four cards are inserted into the middle of the blue-backed deck. Now you remove four blue cards, show them to be indifferent and insert them into the red deck. The spectator’s four red-backed cards are turned over, and they are all Kings. Your four blue-backed cards are turned over to show they have changed into the four Kings! A double climax! Two regular decks are used (not supplied) and you end clean with two complete...

An incredible poker demonstration routine in several phases with a regular deck of cards shuffled and cut by a spectator. You are going to deal yourself several good hands including four Aces and finishing up with a Royal Flush. Incredible and so easy.

All the routines involve the four Aces. Most of them are totally impromptu and all of them use regular cards.

CONTENTS

• PROGNOSTIC ACES (Francis Haxton): A freely selected Ace in a packet of four, is the only one with a different colored back.
• DOUBLE DISCOVERY (Nick Trost): A spectator cuts the deck at random and he finds the four Kings. Finally, he finds the four Aces. A great opener for any Ace routine. Easy to do.
• ALCHEMY ACES (Aldo Colombini): An easy four-Ace assembly with a surprising ending.
• SUDDEN IMPACT (Peter Duffie): The four Aces are lost in the deck and immediately found in a spectacular way. ...

Fit for Kings, Too is the sequel to John's first ever release, Fit for Kings. Once again, all of these effects are easy and hard hitting, yet all are done with just a regular deck of cards.

Routines included:

Uproarious: Four Jokers change into four kings one-by-one. One king is set aside, and the other kings are transformed into the cards to complete a royal flush.

Hofzinser with a Twist: Four kings and a selected card....

"Not only do I like PDS…I wish I’d have thought of it! – Gregory Wilson

Slippy Sandwich – a two selection sandwich routine, as well as a transposition, that doesn’t use the standard loading move.

Fourbearers – the four kings are placed to one side. Three selections are made and they appear between the kings….without the kings ever leaving the table. Includes a second, more gutsy version for the brave.

Psychic mystery card……of death – a handling...

Mickey Mace has released another one of his favorite effects. In The Really, Really Perfect Blackjack Deal, the performer speaks of the proliferation of casino gaming across the US, and mentions how, with a bit of magical help, anyone in the audience can become an expert blackjack dealer.

A volunteer comes forward and is handed a stack of 7 or 8 casino chips. The performer takes a deck of cards and removes four cards placing them face down in a row. The volunteer is then asked to place four of the eight chips in a row next to the four face-down cards – four bets, for four hands of blackjack....

"(Cheater's Sleeve is) so clean and very magical!" - John Carey

"Great book!" - John Guastaferro

These ten tricks are easy to do, use only regular cards, and mostly work from a shuffled deck in use. All this, and of course they are, what we call in the business, 'spectator busting AWESOMES!' (It's a technical term...)

So, bust out the cards and settle down for a session of learning commercial, practical and easy magic that will astonish everyone and make...

1st edition 2011; 9 pages.

A card is selected from the deck, say the 8 of Clubs. Four Jokers with red backs are introduced. The performer claims that the jokers will reveal what card the spectator selected. One of the jokers is placed with the deck. The other three now have bold words printed on their backs: the three cards together read “Eight of Clubs”! The remaining face down joker is seen to have transformed into the selection! The magician then claims that the jokers did more than just reveal the selection, but they also revealed the mates of the selection: the three cards that have words on their backs are now...

A spectator selects an ace, say the Ace of Hearts. The magician explains that he made a prediction earlier, and shows a packet of four blue backed cards, apparently a single ace among three jokers. With a snap, the magician claims that he can make the selected ace turn face up. One card does reverse, but a joker. Despite this, the performer shows that he clearly has three jokers and only one ace: the selected ace, the Ace of Hearts! One of the jokers is now turned over to reveal another prediction: the back is now red, and has writing that reads “Ace of Hearts”! All of the cards may now...

"This is the best compilation of Color Changes to date. I know this because I've been collecting color changes for the last ten years myself. I applaud his research and thoroughness. It is well organized and coherent." - Jon Racherbaumer

"Crispin Sartwell has produced a well-written treatment of color changes that is the first of its kind. An important contribution to the art of magic and a must-have resource for every card handler." - Jerry Cestkowski (The Flourishman)

"As a professional magician for 36 years, I have been constantly told that my simply done but highly effective color change done at the outset of the one stage card...

The great Card Magic of Nick Trost. Nick was a master in creating amazing tricks and routines based on subtleties rather than difficult sleight of hand. Due to the amazing success of the three DVD set the Colombini's produced and the numerous requests, here’s another one, the fourth in the series. This is a humble tribute to a very creative magician. Most of these tricks are impromptu and they all use a regular deck of cards.

CONTENTS:

• THE GATHERING OF THE COURT CARDS: A great nine-card assembly, with Jacks, Queens and Kings.
• THE SLIPPERY ACES: The Aces are sandwiched between the two red Jacks....

Young magician John Gelasi presents another experiment in a classic plot: “B’wave”.

This new two-packet “B’wave” effect called Making Waves combines all of the best elements of countless variations into one stunning packet trick. Best yet, you end completely clean, and all the cards can be examined immediately at the conclusion of the trick!

Here’s the basic effect:

Two packets of cards are used: one blue, and one red. The audience is asked to imagine that the red cards are the four aces, and that the blue cards are the four Queens. An ace is touched (free choice), say...
