The Red and Black ComputationKen de CourcyYou correctly guess how many red and black cards a spectator has casually put into four pockets with an unexpected climax. No skill required. EFFECT A spectator is given a pack of cards, or he can use his own. He shuffles it, removes some cards, splits them into blacks and reds and places the blacks in his left trouser-pocket and the reds in his right. He takes some more cards, splits them as before and conceals the black cards in his left jacket pocket and the reds in his right. All this has taken place while the performer's back is turned. The magician asks the spectator to again... | ★★★★★ $5 to wish list | |
The Really, Really Perfect Blackjack DealMickey MaceMickey 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.... | ★★★★★ $5 to wish list | |
The Real WorkWesley JamesMany magic books come and go but when Wesley James releases a new book, serious students of magic pay attention.

It should come as no surprise to those who have read Wesley's previous works that he examines card magic at a depth rarely found in any field, but less so in... | ★★★★★ $60 to wish list | |
The Queen's Soiree: Pet Effects 1Dai VernonA remarkable transition effect using unprepared objects and little sleight of hand. Four Queens from any pack are placed on the four corners of a square cloth. Two of the Queens are covered with squares of paper. One at a time, the Queens are put beneath the cloth thru which they penetrate and come up under the square of paper. It is amazing to see the identical card make the passage and appear under the paper along with the others, until all four are assembled under one paper.

The Perfected Five Card TrickGeorge BlakeThis ebook teaches solutions to the following problem Rusduck posed in the late 1950s: Any deck used. Any five cards taken from it by a spectator, and any one of the five cards is set aside. The performer calls out the other four cards to an assistant in another room or to someone on the phone, and immediately the chosen card is named. Arguably the best rendition of this type of effect is the Bloom Miracle Poker Machine. These are very similar requirements to the Fitch Cheney Five-Card Trick. But they are not identical. In the Fitch Cheney trick the performer selects the one card out of the five given to him which his assistant needs to identify... | $10 to wish list | |
The PAT Switch: Before Computers Series 1Bob Farmer"... The PAT Switch will have you rethinking many of the tricks you know and probably have in your repertoire, as well as suggesting new ideas." - Matt FieldThere was a time when Doug Henning roamed the earth, a time designated B.C.

The Other Color MysteryGerard ZittaThis is a hands-off and impromptu card effect. This effect should be presented as a mental experience rather than a card trick. The patter could be around complementarity or duality. You can talk about Yin and Yang, Black and White, Heads and Tails, Male and Female, etc. At the end of your introduction, you explain that in a deck of cards, this is represented by the two colors RED and BLACK. A Spectator shuffles the cards and cuts it in two piles.

The Off-PrincipleN.I. PectusSometimes we confuse progress and novelty. Not everything new is an improvement. What the off principle offers is not newness but rather simplicity. The Off-principle is not trying to replace breaks, peeks or controls and yet it is making them less relevant. The off principle is not an advanced move or trick and yet it is able to improve almost every card trick. The off principle is complex in it s applications and yet simplifies almost any card trick you are about to perform. Yesterday you used controls to keep track of the spectators card, now it is still possible but unnecessary. Yesterday... | $19.99 to wish list | |
