A demonstration of cheating.

The spectator chooses four cards totally at random and puts them face down between two red Kings who are face up. Then the spectator puts this little packet on top of the deck. After the magician cuts and shuffles only one time, the cards between the red Kings now are the four aces! With only one shuffle, the magician manages to switch the four indifferent cards with 4 aces.

One advanced coin move - three awesome applications

NP technique is a coin move with three applications:

• TRACELESS VANISH - An Impossible looking Coin vanish at your finger tips.
• BRUSH CHANGE - Your fingers act like a brush for a color change.
• COIN BEND - A visual coin bend. (NOTE: No wire/gimmick/no sleeving. This is 100% pure sleight of hand.)

If the Pinky Count is too difficult you can learn one of these two much easier methods to obtain a break under the top two cards.

Here is a collection of Open Prediction methods, for the working mentalist or magician. Each method is clean, using no gimmicks.

These methods employ unorthodox techniques, and will take some practice. Since only sleight-of-hand is required, you no longer need to carry extra gimmicks or special decks to perform this type of effect. A spectator makes a free selection, the selection is replaced, and is then shown to match your prediction.

Four methods are included. Each one is 100% clean. You can use a borrowed, shuffled deck. There are no gimmicks, no R/S, no SF, and no sticky stuff. These...

This is an easy tabled false cut leaving the bottom portion of your deck unchanged.

This is a full deck false shuffle that is based on the Hindu Shuffle. Very easy to do and very deceptive looking.

Another Oil and Water routine from the creative mind of Peter Pellikaan. Openly mix the cards, and by just flipping some cards around - they UNMIX!

You will need:

• a split facer (vertically split in the middle)
• Elmsley Count
• OPEC Count

Here is an astonishing ending to one of the classics of card magic - "Oil & Water". There are many ways to perform it, but Mario Tarasini has created an extremely visual final phase with face-up cards and just before the very eyes of the spectator. After a couple of your favorite phases of Oil & Water, this is an amazing way to end the routine. Just tell the spectator to not blink and she/he will witness a miracle. Requires arts and crafts to prepare the gimmicked cards.

length 9min 7s.

Show five cards face down with red backs. Magically cards turn face up one by one revealing four Queens but with blue backs. For the climax, the four Queens have now entirely different backs, and the fifth card has yet another back we haven't seen before.

Effect: Show to spectator 4 blank cards. Suddenly the blank cards change into four normal face cards. Additional supplies may need to be purchased to perform this effect.

This is a very deceptive and visual 3-4-4 count, hiding one card, developed by Ed Marlo. In case you wonder who or what 'Olram' is, that is Marlo spelled backwards.

A spectator signs a playing card which you link to the stem of a borrowed wine glass. The card can be moved while it is linked to the glass. Eventually it is unlinked. Both glass and card can be inspected by the spectator before and after the linking/unlinking sequence.

1st edition 2020, video 30 min.

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.

This effect is undoubtedly a fooler. The magician will be able to cut to three cards that reveal the exact position of the spectator's card. Conditions are really impossible. A true miracle with a normal deck. Always great reactions from both magicians and laypeople. Always a different number.

After the magician gives the deck a shuffle, the spectator is asked to cut the deck about in half and to take from the lower portion some cards, shuffle them, remember the top card, and put them back on top of the lower portion of the deck. Then the spectator shuffles the top portion of the deck and...

This one-handed second deal has an interesting and very deceptive push-off because initially you push off only one card.
