Linking in Cards

Linking effects are popular in magic, for example, the Chinese Linking Rings because everybody knows intuitively the impossibility of linking closed rings. Card magicians have taken this theme and applied it to playing cards. They are linking cards to other cards, to themselves, and to a range of other items. Reading about the various approaches, you will find some exceptionally clever methods have been developed.

On Stem 2023 by Ralf (Fairmagic) Rudolph

With this specially gimmicked and prepared card, you are able to link it to a borrowed glass unnoticed in 3-5 seconds. The edges (which is very important for me) are completely intact and have no cracks. The card can be presented firmly linked to the glass as a souvenir.

What the video hides at the lower edge would normally be hidden behind a box, book, silk, or some other visual obstruction.

Framing the Queen by Ralf (Fairmagic) Rudolph

A playing card is shown from both sides. The spectator initials the face of this card. Performer tears out two small rectangles from the inside of the card. One of these rectangular tear-outs has its center removed to create a little frame, which is freely shown. Magician folds this little frame over the center beam of the larger card frame and suddenly the little frame clearly hangs from the center beam of the larger frame. How did it get on there? This card, with linked little frame, can be handed out or given away as souvenir.

The performance is easy and does not require any complicated...

Linxed by Ralf (Fairmagic) Rudolph

Apparently link two cards in an ad hoc impromptu appearing fashion.

Effect: You take two cards and openly tear from each two rectangular windows. This leaves a frame and a center beam in each card. Then you magically link them at the center beam. At the end you separate them again and hand out both cards as souvenirs. The cards will show no tear in the center beam or around the frame. Everybody will wonder how you were able to link them. There is no secret exchange of cards. The two cards you start with are the two cards you end with.

This effect is best done in an off-hand impromptu setting...

Terri Rogers
Boromian Link by Terri Rogers

This booklet details Terri Rogers' Boromian Link an incredible linking card effect based on Paul Harris' Immaculate Connection. The Harris original is a great impromptu effect but if you are not working impromptu and can use your own cards then you'll find Terri Rogers' method even better. The linking effect looks excellent and in fact fools those familiar with the Harris original. The effect can be performed with any size cards and looks quite spectacular if done with Jumbo cards.
