CasusMichael KociolekA deck of cards is given to a spectator to shuffle, and she's asked to silently think of any number between 1 and 52.

He briefly shuffles the deck, asks the spectator to hold out her hand, and places the face down deck on her palm. The spectator then deals cards, one by one face down, to her chosen number. She then turns this card face up. It's her chosen card. This effect is 100% impromptu. Any deck... | ★★★★★ $7.99 to wish list | |

A New GameMichael MaxwellThis trick was developed by Allan and Debbie Ackerman. Debbie is Allan's daughter. A spectator chooses a card and the value of the card decides how many hands are dealt in this game. Let's say the spectator chooses the 3 of Hearts. A random number of cards is taken from the deck and then dealt into 3 hands. Then the performer announces that the spectator should pick one pile. If that pile does not have a 3 on its top the spectator wins, otherwise the magician wins. Of course, the odds are vastly in favor of the spectator. Nevertheless, the top cards on all three piles turn out to be 3s and as... | $6 to wish listMP4 (video) | |
The Lazy Man's Interlocking Setup IIMichael MaxwellOne spectator receives a prediction for safe keeping. Another spectator receives a portion of the deck, shuffles it thoroughly, deals cards one at a time on the table, and stops whenever he likes. He may stop at the first card, the last card, or anywhere in between. The value of the randomly chosen card is used to count to a card in the remaining portion of the deck. And that card matches the prediction. runtime: 4min 34s | $6 to wish listMP4 (video) | |
Toony AngelMichael MaxwellThe 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... | $9.95 to wish list | |
A Real PredictionMichael MaxwellThis effect was created by Dai Vernon and was published in Rufus Steele's book The Last Word on Cards. The deck is shuffled by a spectator. The magician removes a prediction card from the deck and places it face down on the table. The spectator creates two piles. The top card of one is turned face up. The value of that card is used to count to a card in the other pile. The card counted to is the mate of the prediction. runtime 4min 29s | ★★★★★ $4 to wish listMP4 (video) | |
