A sandwich effect with a twist. The performer has three spectators each chooses a card and loses it in different parts of the deck. Then, the performer takes two Jokers, stating that they will find the selected cards. However, the final twist is that one spectator's card will end up sandwiched between the other two spectators' cards.

An incredible new "Any Card At Any Number" effect that magically comes to fruition, despite the fact that the card and a set of numbers are chosen by a spectator, in a carousel of cards turned face to face and back to back.
An A.C.A.A.N. that develops into a dance of cards, realizing itself on the edge of the impossible.
Twisting the AC...AAN is a new card magic effect themed "Any Card At Any Number," in which the magician, shown and quickly shuffled a deck of cards, holding the deck face-up in his right hand, begins to drop the cards into the palm of his left hand, performing a dribble...
Un incredibile nuovo effetto di Carta al Numero che magicamente si realizza, nonostante la Carta e una serie di Numeri vengano scelti da uno spettatore, in una giostra di carte rivoltate faccia contro faccia e dorso contro dorso!
Un A.C.A.A.N. che si sviluppa in una Danza di Carte, realizzandosi al limite dell'Impossibile!
Twisting the AC...AAN è un nuovo effetto cartomagico a tema "Any Card At Any Number", in cui il prestigiatore, mostrato e mescolato velocemente un mazzo di carte, tenendo il mazzo a facce in alto nella destra, inizia a far cadere le carte sul palmo della sinistra,...
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.

Excerpt from the Foreword:
Every so often an increase in the number of "fakir" demonstrations is noted not only in this country but abroad. In some cases the performer is buried alive, or subjected to tortures beyond those the human flesh, or human mind, can endure.
Oft times, these feats strike the fancy of the public and huge salaries are given the fakirs. The demand for such a book as this one, as a result, has grown and we hope that the answer to many of these feats will be satisfactorily explained to the reader. Here, too, may be a little idea for which the legitimate performer has...
Excerpt from the opening remarks:
My advice - as pedantic as it may sound - is simple: AVOID COMPLACENCY. NEVER ASSUME THAT YOU KNOW IT ALL. When it comes to the Real Work, we never stop learning. Look at cardmen like Vernon and Marlo! Both continue to explore the subject, look for flaws, seek perfections, discover new things. Lectures, books, notes, and sessions with our brethren are invaluable aids; however, we must never forget that learning the Real Work is an exciting, life-long pursuit; a challenge that obstinately renews itself no matter how old, experienced, and knowledgeable we become. ...
Excerpt from the Foreword:
This is a book with a guarantee; a guarantee that every item with one exception has been mastered and tested by myself. ... As in my "Studies" series, all effects in this present book are complete in themselves. They are not mere tricks, gadgets, or "moves." Each one has been carefully routined and described in full to bring out the correct methods of presentation, and in all cases, entertainment value has been very carefully considered. With the routines in this book you will entertain as well as mystify.
Another brilliant mental effect from the mind of Ed Stoddard. This time, Stoddard presents a book test, using any book, that you can perform anywhere. A spectator chooses a word and you name it instantly.
Utilizes an ingenious, natural method that can't be beat. Plus a healthy dose of Stoddard's brand of subtlety and refinements that make it so easy to use. Imagine the shock and awe when you present this at the home of a friend or family member, using their own book.
(To be upfront about it, while the original dealer ad stated that you can use a borrowed book, and do it impromptu, you...
Why create and print your cardbox? Several reasons:
If you are like me, you have many decks set up for different effects and I needed a way to keep them organized. This is the best method. I simply code the decks and print it on the side or bottom of the cardbox. With step-by-step directions and photos, creating your custom cardboxes is easy. A customizable PSD file (Adobe Photoshop) and SVG file (Scalable Vector Graphics) are included with this download.
Note: You need to have a basic knowledge...
Do not be fooled by the low intro price. This is an absolute killer. Hands Off Book Test or in other words, HOBOT is very much like a ROBOT, fully automatic, very efficient, highly effective, self-working, and self-sufficient. Once you hand over the book to the participant, you do not touch it again during the entire routine. You do not just reveal a single word (although you can do that too) but you reveal about 10 to 15 words - one from each line from top to bottom of the page in the correct order as the participant is silently reading the page to himself. It appears as if you are plucking...
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.

It is a selection of the card magic of Roy Johnson, in which sleights are kept to a minimum and difficult ones are eliminated. In other words, with clean handling and basic skills the effects are possible to all ... hence the title. There is variety in both effects and methods and although the majority are close-up the stand-up performer has not been forgotten.

If you can perform the easy block-transfer shuffle by Dai Vernon you will be able to perform Daryl Martinez's/Easton's commercial routine with only a little practice. The routine is structured to produce maximum impact with minimum effort and it creates a lasting impression on lay audiences.
EFFECT: Two selections are made from a shuffled deck, then are returned and lost. The deck is given a topsy-turvy shuffle so that face-up cards are mixed into face-down cards. This mixture is shown to be erratic and random. When the cards are eventually ribbon-spread, all the cards are face-down except two, which...
Here's a mental miracle that psychic entertainers will put to good use right away. A bonus is that at the finish, the spectator is left with your calling card as a souvenir.
EFFECT: The performer writes a prediction on a piece of paper and hands it to a spectator for safekeeping. Next, names are said aloud by members of the audience and are penciled in on several of the performer's (or a corporate sponsor's) business cards. These are then turned face down on the table, so that none of the names are visible. Any spectator is allowed to mix and select a card (a free choice) and may even change...
For those of you who own several of my products, you've probably realized by now that card locations are my area of expertise. And so we're back with another location that I think is a total fooler. The best part is that it can be performed with any regular deck. Very few magicians have been able to work this one out when I showed it to them - so I am confident that with this you will be fooling all your magician friends (even the knowledgeable ones).
The main takeaway of the ebook, however, is not the aforementioned effect but rather the shuffling principle that I will be teaching you....
A few tricks and variations of effects from House of Cards, Rosini's Magical Gems, and The Card Magic of Paul Le Paul.
Many of the techniques I teach in this video were used by both Le Paul and Rosini. One of the tricks I feature in this video is a trick referred to in Rosini's Magical Gems as Double Reverse. That immediately caught my eye because the very same trick appears in the John Scarne book Scarne on Card Tricks, a book I am very familiar with. So it is fascinating to me how all these threads of card magic can be followed.

Creative thought for magicians.
While this ebook does have a trick section at the end, the majority of the content is dedicated to mental processes, habits, and exercises that will help you become a better and more creative magician. This is a part of being a magician that is rarely talked about, but it is more important than the latest and newest trick offering.
Excerpt from the Foreword:
In this work I tell you what Magical Mentality is, and how you can develop it for yourself. Or if you already have it to a degree, how you can cause it to serve you more efficiently.
The system...
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,...
Due versioni differenti di un effetto, incredibilmente Impromptu e praticamente Self Working, che mette in scena una Partita ad un Poker immaginario dalle strane regole che rendono sempre lo spettatore come il grandissimo favorito, ma dove, al termine, incredibilmente il Mago vincerà contro ogni probabilità, chiudendo la partita i n un vero e proprio Trionfo dei 4 Assi!
Un effetto davvero STUPEFACENTE di Cartomagia che lascerà increduli tanto voi, quando lo proverete le prime volte (accade tuttora persino a me che l’ho ideato, ve lo garantisco!), quanto il vostro pubblico, non appena...
A new take on the classic Bank Night.
Seven envelopes and a deck of cards are on the table. The magician asserts that one envelope contains a $100 bill. The game is for the spectator to find it. But the catch is that the magician will also be allowed to choose one envelope for himself. To make things fair, they will use card values to determine a random number. First, the cards are moved from top to bottom until each player stops at any card. They keep the card they stopped at. To avoid any suspicion of cheating, the spectator can exchange his card with the magician's. Then, the envelopes...
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.

Effect: A spectator selects a card, which they then lose in the deck themselves. The performer tries in vain to find it. To locate the card, the spectator randomly points to four cards, and at the total value indicated by these, the spectator's chosen card will be found exactly.
This routine is a blend of two routines: one by Benjamin Earl and the other by Israel Rodriguez.
