ImaginationMark LeveridgeA spectator is handed an invisible deck and is asked to spread the cards and note that all the red cards are bunched together and all the black cards are assembled together. Splitting the deck so that he holds all the invisible red cards in one hand and all the blacks in the other, he hands over one half which is placed by a second spectator into the invisible cards box. Now the cards are spread again and the spectator is asked to note that all the court cards are together, and all the spot cards are together.

Hot Ice 3: The Kosky CutKen de CourcyHere Ken de Courcy took a clever cut effect by Gerald Kosky, changed it, and altered it to make it completely self-contained and also impromptu. Whilst doing this, Ken hit on another use and here you are getting two for the price of one. EFFECT: A borrowed pack is shuffled by the owner, then the magician extracts two cards from it, hands the cards to the spectator and asks him to place them into a convenient pocket. The deck is placed on the table and the spectator is requested to cut off about two-thirds and lay it face-up alongside the remainder. He now cuts the larger packet roughly... | $8 to wish list | |

No Delay: Think StopIan BaxterA timely favorite for any magician with a deck of cards in hand is Think-Stop.

Devil DivinationGeorge BlakeA pack is thoroughly shuffled (it may even be a borrowed one) and a spectator merely thinks of a card as they are shown to him one by one. Immediately the card is thought of, the pack is cut again and again. The spectator is given the pack, in two halves, to confirm or otherwise, that his card is there. Whether he says it is or isn't in either half, the performer knows the card immediately and may disclose it as he thinks fit. No questions asked. If you can cut the cards you can do this. Inside two minutes you know the card the spectator is thinking of and you can build up the effect into... | ★★★★★ $5 to wish list | |
Color I-Do-As-UGeorge L. BostonAn amazing two-pack coincidence routine. The performer exhibits two decks of cards, one red, the other blue. He picks up one deck and shows it to be quite ordinary, both back and front. He asks a spectator to assist by placing the deck face-down behind his back and cutting it any number of times, completing the cut each time then to remove two or three cards from the deck and place them in his (spectator's) pocket without looking at them. He then requests spectator to square the pack and bring it from behind his back held in such a manner so that performer cannot get a glimpse of any card.... | $5 to wish list | |
Controlled CoincidenceVictor FarelliA subtle system for card workers. Four card miracles. Excerpt from the introduction: In the Winter of 1928, or early in the following Spring, Messrs. Bagshawe & Co. issued a catalogue entitled "New Magic," in which an item called "Card Control" appeared. Briefly, the effect was that any card (not forced) could be taken from a pack - if desired, in the performer's absence - and the performer was able always to locate in the pack a card of the same VALUE and a card of the same SUIT, as that chosen. Being struck by the novelty of the effect I wrote to Mr. Bagshawe, requesting him to send... | $8 to wish list | |
ImpossibleMark LeveridgeA spectator freely names a card (e.g. 5D) which is cut into the centre of a blue deck. The performer cuts a card of his choice (e.g. AS) into the centre of a red deck. The spectator and performer are now going to attempt to make their chosen cards reverse themselves while the packs are still inside their boxes. Having mimed the removal and turning over of cards, the performer fans the spectator's blue deck only to discover that there is one card face up, but it's the AS! The magician then fans his red backed deck - and to everyone's surprise, the only face-up card in that pack is the one... | $14 to wish listPDF & MP4 | |
Analects and AnaloguesJon RacherbaumerTen card mysteries Annemann would have loved. This book was part of a two-person three-hour lecture session given by Harry Anderson that Jon gave at a Daytona Magic Conference. Excerpt from the foreword: Anneman believed that the effect is the most important thing and, to paraphrase Vince Lombardi, the effect is the only thing. Anneman believed, as deists believe in a god, that a magician must do something extraordinary with the ordinary…and what is demonstrated must also have no practical use or relevance in the real world. It is a demo, not an application of real power. Anneman... | ★★★★★ $19.50 to wish list | |
IntrigueJoseph B.This effect is intriguing. Not only will the magician find two chosen cards under impossible conditions, but there will be a series of incredible and numerous predictions. Look at the full performance. The effect is simple to perform and semi-automatic. We are certainly within the magician-fooler category. Everything is done with a normal deck of cards.

Triplets 4Gregg WebbIn this, the second all-cards issue, of Triplets, Gregg Webb describes some old and some new in the news section, including a review of a rather old book Gregg thinks has good patter ideas for poker-themed card tricks, and some others that are quite recent, and a few things that are yet to come out but will soon. Next Gregg describes a novel vanish of a card for standup manipulators, and then a card trick based on Schrödinger's Cat theory (from quantum mechanics), and a very direct new incarnation of Real Gone Aces, called Real Gone Queens, which includes a way to do it as Real Gone Jokers. ... | $4.95 to wish list | |
Devious DeparturesJon RacherbaumerA deep dive into Elmsley's Point of Departure. The original effect is the following. A card is chosen and placed face down on the table. The two black aces are then removed from the pack and with the utmost fairness, the chosen card is placed between them, and this sandwich is handed to a spectator to hold. On the magician's command, the chosen card vanishes and is found in the performer's pocket.

Excerpt from the conclusion: We'd like to call your attention to the fact that we have given you a fine variety of card material. Four card discoveries that are novel and off the beaten path, especially the Divining Hanky. For the fellow who has a speck of larceny in his soul, we gave away our pet - a system of culling and stacking - to be used, of course, for entertainment purposes only. Another tidbit was a flourish that was easy to do. The remaining five... | $9.95 to wish list | |
Special EffectsPaul CurryIntelligent and creative card magic of the highest caliber. Excerpt from the introduction: Anyone going to press with a book "new" tricks should have the good grace to concede, if only momentarily, that he may be placing himself in the category of the mad scientist who spent his time developing cures for which there were no diseases. It’s hard to win points against the argument that a new idea should fill a need, that invention should follow necessity. Yet the disregard of such orderly logic seems, in the long run, to produce some of the best results. Many of the good things in magic,... | $19.90 to wish list | |
Beating the OddsMark LeveridgeA deck of cards becomes a stable of 52 horses. The horses are shuffled by a spectator and the deck is placed down. The performer then writes down the name of one of the horses on a pad and places it sight unseen in view on the table. This is a prediction of a horse that he believes will win an imaginary race in a few moments time. Spreading the deck, a spectator is invited to touch one at a time completely at random seven horses. These are removed and held in a pile. He then selects any number from one to seven. Using the chosen number, horses are eliminated in the pile one by one until... | $10 to wish listMP4 (video) | |

The Complete Cannibal ActWalt LeesExtract from the preface: It was in 1972 that Fred Snook first drew my attention to the "Cannibal Cards". A little later, I was lucky enough to see Matt Corin performing his version of the trick. He told me that he had published it in "Kabbala" a few months previously and that the original idea stemmed from an effect by Lyn Searles. I was able, shortly afterwards, to obtain a copy of the Corin routine. Earlier on, in 1966 I had purchased a copy of Harry Lorayne's "Close-Up Card Magic" and had, for some time, used the Jay Ose version of the Garcia "Apex Ace", described in that excellent book. When I began to work on... | $14 to wish list |
