You show four cards from the back. They all have blue backs. When you shake them, one turns up face. It is the king of diamonds. When you show the cards again, they now all have red backs. Another shake and another king turns face up. But now they all have green backs. You then display all four kings from the face. The climax is that all four kings link into one ribbon.

Three novel tricks with a regular E.S.P. deck.
ESPREDICT TWICE
Two cards are selected in a packet (the five E.S.P. symbols); one by using a freely chosen number and one through elimination. The two symbols have been successfully predicted.
ESPECIAL DOUBLE DIVINATION
After they cut the deck, two spectators are given a packet of cards each from which they memorize any card. They lose their card into the deck and concentrate on their symbol. Each thought-of symbol can be removed from the deck and placed in front of the appropriate spectator.
FIVE ESPERFECT CHOICES
The spectator is given...
Yes, this looks impossible. You show four cards. Turn over one and the rest also magically turns over. That is just the warming-up effect. The real stunner is when you turn over the cards and suddenly three of them have big circles cut from their center and the fourth has changed color.

This video includes a variation of the Bert Allerton trick Eye Popper, a transposition of two cards. This trick appeared in his book The Close Up Magician.
Two Don Alan card tricks using jumbo cards: Big Deal and A Comedy card trick.
A Paul Rosini card trick taken from House of Cards, two selected cards are found after the magician has failed to find them. This trick features a variation of the Paul Le Paul Top Change. Several variations are suggested.
A comparison of Malini's handling as compared to the handling in the book: The Magic of Matt Schulien, Schulien called it 'Put It Back In The Deck'. There are two comedy card tricks from Schulien: Catch The Light, and The Professional...
You show two cards from both sides. One is the Queen of Hearts and the other is the Jack of Spades. The Queen of Hearts has a big square hole cut from its center. You briefly put these two cards together, separate them again, and suddenly the Jack of Spades has a round hole cut from its center and the Queen of Hearts is restored without a hole. The hole moved from the Queen to the Jack and changed from a square hole to a round hole.

Two different versions of an effect, incredibly impromptu and practically self-working, which stages a play at an imaginary poker game with strange rules that always make the spectator the overwhelming favorite, but where, in the end, the magician will win against all odds, closing the game in a true Triumph of the four Aces.
A truly amazing card magic effect that will leave both you, when you try it the first few times, incredulous (it still happens even to me who came up with it, I guarantee) and your audience, as soon as you manage to propose it to them.
You will learn two versions,...
You show 8 cards. Four are the aces that you place on the table. And the other four cards are jokers. Three of the jokers you put face-down on the face-up ace of spades. But when everything is turned face up, the other three aces have joined the ace of spades, and the rest of the cards are kings rather than jokers.

"This totally fooled me! It's VERY clever and VERY deceptive." - Marc Paul
"By far the best solution I've seen for this card plot. I have numerous unpublished solutions of my own but none are as deceptive as this one. When the Unnamed Magician first shared the basic idea with me, I was blown away." - Tommaso Guglielmi
"It really does live up to its title." - Alexander Javier
"An outstanding method. The creative thought process that is needed to come up with something like this is something I can't even begin to imagine." - Tony Bianco
"A mystery for the ages. I can't see anyone, layman or magician, working...
This small packet trick combines several color changes. You start by showing five blank cards. Showing them again one of the blank cards has changed into a king with a blue back. You table this king. This process continues until you have all four kings with blue backs on the table and one blank card in the hand. The remaining blank card changes to one with a red back. Suddenly all five cards have red backs, and as the climax, you fan the five cards face-up and you now hold a royal flush.

An unprecedented effect of semi-automatic card magic, on the theme of Any Card At Any Number, in which the irrational dread for Number 13 is the protagonist.
An all-new virtually self-working card magic trick in which the number 13 plays the leading role in an "Any Card At Any Number" effect: a spectator freely chooses which of the four Kings to eliminate from the deck. Then, from a dozen other cards at random, two will be chosen, whose sum of values will incredibly determine the number 13. A card of the same suit as the King chosen at the beginning will then be 'generated' and, magically...
The magician displays a special deck made of double-blank cards. He has written a different word on each side of every card – only words that he can draw. After he turns away, the spectator removes a portion of the deck and eliminates all but one card. He remembers the word he is seeing and inserts the card in the middle of the deck. The magician faces the spectator again. He grabs a business card and a pencil while asking the spectator to concentrate on his word. When the magician is done drawing, the spectator reveals his thought-of-word, let's say it is "rabbit". The magician shows his...
A new spin on the classic piece-by-piece card restoration.
This is a real-world Torn & Restored Card that's easier to do and better on angles than most. It looks great on social media or in the real world. This is a T&R that was built for workers.

Using a small packet of cards, a spectator fairly creates a playing card which was predicted by the magician.
A packet of playing cards is on display. On one side: A mix of every value (from 2 to King) and every suit. On the other side: A mix of red and blue backs. The spectator is asked to create a random card. First, he selects which back color represents the suit and which one represents the value. Following the magician's instructions, he mixes the cards up and cuts them as many times as he wants. Then, he deals the cards on the table in six pairs. Finally, he picks one pair with a red...
I have learned a dozen false shuffles and the Rosetta shuffle was the clear winner. The Rosetta shuffle is one of the most convincing false shuffles of all the false shuffles. It looks so innocent and impossible to manipulate.
Key points:
You show four cards, one of which has a big round hole cut out. Suddenly all the cards have a big round hole cut out. In another blink of an eye, the round hole has transformed into a square hole and you are only holding a single card. This effect is best seen performed. Watch the demo video below.

"A very nice mentalism routine. And the method is devilish!" - Tony Bianco
"After I was taught the method for this, I immediately smiled. It is super clever, you won't be disappointed." - Brian Draven
"Many of you know the Unnamed Magician by now. But I've had the privilege of knowing him for a long time now. Any time he creates a new routine and sends it to me, I always make time that very day just so I can see it. This routine is no different." - Tommaso Guglielmi

Card tricks with big holes in some cards is one of Peter Pellikaan's unique themes. This is another visual effect using cards with holes.
You show four regular playing cards and a coin. When you count the cards again one card suddenly has a huge hole cut out of its center. You place this card aside and count the remaining three cards. Another card has a hole. You do this until all four cards have turned into cards with big holes cut from their center.
When you pick up these four cards with holes, they magically become whole (pun intended) again. They are restored without any holes just like...
You show four Eight of Diamonds. On one you draw a large X and you ask the spectator to follow it. You turn the cards face-down, and after some mixing, you table the cards one after each other face-down. When you turn the cards face-up they have all changed to aces. The eights including the one with the cross on it have vanished.

Selected card at selected number.
This is a very clean "selected card at selected number" effect. The spectator selects a card, shuffles to lose the card, selects a number, and the card is miraculously found at the number. A performance video can be seen below.
Imagine:
The magician introduces a deck, spreads it face up to display that all the cards are different and in no particular order, and then hands it to the spectator. He invites them to cut off about a third of the deck and to look at the bottom card of the cut-off portion as their selection. The magician then asks them to thoroughly...
A quick and easy packet trick for those with analytical minds. An envelope containing a prediction is introduced, along with seven cards, each displaying a different number. You explain that there is something written behind each card, but that will be revealed later.
The cards are then arranged in two rows - one with four cards and the other with three. The participant is asked to eliminate one of the rows, and you turn over the cards in that row, revealing that you had predicted which row they would choose.
Next, the participant pairs one card from the remaining row with any other...
A stunning color change of blank cards into printed cards.
You show four cards which are blank on both sides. Suddenly an ace of spades appears. When you spread the four cards all formerly blank cards are now aces. Turning over the fan shows four different backs. The blank cards have changed to non-blank front and back.

Three cards are put face down on the table. Put three blank cards over the first card and the blank cards all change into the same card they were put on. Repeat this with the other two cards. The cards always magically change their faces. At the end, the faces change again and the entire deck is blank.

You show four cards with blue dots and another four cards with red dots. Then you stick a blue dot over a red dot card and a red dot over a blue dot card. After 5 seconds the dot color of the remaining three cards in each packet has changed, too.
You continue to mix the cards but they always separate into packs of the same color, like oil and water separate. In the final sequence, you remove the two dots you stuck on in the first phase and the colors change again magically.

You show two packs of four blank cards each. You stick a blue dot on the top card of one pile and suddenly all these four cards have blue dots. You do the same with the red dot and the other pile. Then you exchange the top cards of these two piles. The remaining cards follow their leaders because the pack that had blue dots before has now the red dots and vice versa. When you take off a red dot and a blue dot from one card each, the remaining cards return to blank cards.

The Gimmick-Less Bank Vault Vanish is an EDC impromptu stunner.
This is a challenge effect you will win every time. This is 100% gimmick-less mind-blown EDC (Every Day Carry) magic. Close-up, angle proof, fast, easy, impromptu, EDC, instant full-view reset. Perfect for beginners and seasoned magicians.
This is a phenomenal example of separating the steal from the reveal. The steal happens well before the vault/fist is opened revealing utter emptiness. This effect absolutely destroys any other "Where is it? Which hand?" effect. The reactions are amazing. I literally have spectators that...
You show four cards with red dots and four cards with yellow dots. When you touch the pack of red dots with the pack of yellow dots one of the red dot cards changes to a yellow dot card. You do this several times until all four cards you are holding have turned yellow. Suddenly they turn back to showing red dots. When you show the pack of yellow cards on the table they now all have blue dots.

You show five cards that have a blue dot on their faces. When you rotate the pack one dot changes to a red dot. You table the red dotted card. Another magical gesture and another red dot appears. You continue until four cards have changed to red dots. The final card with a blue dot changes to just a blue dot, no fifth card is visible anymore.

"A really powerful spell-to-your-card effect. The title says it all, it is Bannon's "Dead Reckoning" except on steroids." - Tommaso Guglielmi
"For a long time I've been performing "Dead Reckoning" by John Bannon. It's one of my go-to effects in my repertoire. But that changed today. "Dead Reckoning: On Steroids" is a marvelous improvement on the original. It is unbelievably deceptive and impossible to reverse engineer, and it replaces "Dead Reckoning" in my repertoire. Thanks Unnamed Magician for this splendid creation." - Brian Draven
"The main effect is good but the first bonus effect is beyond good."...
A small plastic tub with a tight push-on lid is shown, opened, and a collection of coins tipped from inside. The performer puts his initials on a self-adhesive round sticker, attaches it to one of the coins, and then repeats the process for the other side of the coin with a sticker bearing a spectator's initials.
The rest of the coins are returned to the tub and the lid is pushed back on. Taking the marked coin into his hand the performer strikes it against the bottom of the container, immediately showing that both his hands are empty.
The tub is handed to a spectator who prises off...
The magician picks up a card box as if to demonstrate a card trick and discovers that it rattles. Opening it, he tips from within four 3-volt circular batteries. Taking one of the batteries into his fist, he squeezes it and on opening the hand it is seen to have changed to a more powerful AAA battery. Holding this battery at the fingertips, the performer passes his other hand across it and causes it to visibly change to a larger AA battery.
Finally, he clasps his two empty hands together and on parting them reveals that now a square 9-volt battery has magically appeared!
No gimmicks...
An effortless variation on the ACAAN plot where a thought-of card is found at the magician's predicted number.
The magician writes down a prediction on a business card before asking the spectator to make up a playing card:
