A brand-new impromptu card magic effect in which two cards, chosen at random by the audience, are inexplicably captured!

This is an automatic card magic trick that can be improvised in any situation, even if you simply borrow a deck of cards (it could be also an incomplete one) and let the audience inspect it first.

The magician hands the deck to a pair of spectators so they can shuffle it as they please. Then the first spectator begins stacking a few cards face down on the table; he stops at one of them, discreetly notes it, and memorizes its value. He places it, face down, on top of...

Un inedito effetto Impromptu di Magia con le Carte in cui vengono inspiegabilmente catturate due carte scelte a caso dagli spettatori!

Il Mistero dei Tre Mazzetti è un nuovo effetto Automatico di Magia con le Carte che è IMPROVVISABILE in qualsiasi situazione, anche semplicemente prendendo un mazzo di carte in prestito (magari pure incompleto) e dandolo prima da controllare agli spettatori.

Il prestigiatore consegna il mazzo ad una coppia di spettatori perché lo mescolino a loro piacimento. Poi il primo inizia ad impilare di dorso qualche carta sul tavolo: si ferma su una di esse,...

As performed by David Copperfield on TV.

The "Torn and Restored Cigarette Paper" has been around for over a hundred years. Now Martin Lewis brings this classic into the 21st century with a new and exciting handling that relies on subtlety rather than dexterity. A handling that makes the effect clearly visible for two or two hundred! (Or even 9 million, if you have your own national TV special.)

This video shows how you can perform this ultra-clean restoration, which has consistently baffled magicians and laymen alike. Learn from Martin's 24 years of experience in performing this effect. ...

The spectator selects four cards. The magician then performs a face-up/face-down Slop Shuffle, thoroughly mixing the deck. Despite the chaotic condition, the deck instantly rights itself - returning to face-down - except for the four selections, which remain face-up at four different positions in the deck.

Although transpositions involving cards are commonplace, not too many are genuine eye-poppers. This one fits that description to a tee, a totally baffling flight of a card from one place to another, in the usual tight-knit setting of close-up magic at the table.

Four aces are removed from a deck with spectator being offered the choice of reds or blacks, the chosen aces being slipped into an envelope and dropped to the table. The two remaining aces, black for example, are lost in the deck which is then placed aside. On command, the red ace chosen by spectator instantly vanishes from the...

Effect: The spectator names their favorite ace. The magician hands them the remaining three aces, which the spectator freely inserts into different parts of the deck. The deck is spread face down across the table, and the magician instantly removes the three inserted aces by pulling them out with his fingers.

The spectator then deals cards face down from the deck, stopping at any point. The card they stop on is turned face up - it's not an ace, but an indicator card. Using the value of that card, the spectator counts down to a new position in the deck, where they discover the named...

Hey, don't get too excited. You don't have to undress either yourself or others, I promise. Here NuDe Readings stands for Numeric Deck Readings.

An unusual and inexplicable version of "ACAAN" using a borrowed deck shuffled by any spectator.

Impromptu "Any random Card At Any Number" Mystery is an ACAAN themed effect that can always be performed impromptu, also if you borrow a deck of cards (perhaps even an incomplete one) and let any spectator shuffles it freely! The magician asks the spectator to rise a small pack of cards, count them in secret, and remember that number. Before losing those cards into the rest of the deck, he asks the spectator to shuffle them and then choose one. He puts everything back into the deck, which he...

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.

Easy to do. You only need a regular deck of 25 ESP cards.

Practical routines and presentations for the modern magician.

You are about to discover a collection of magic that deliberately walks the line between the cleverly practical and the absurdly comedic. The routines within these pages - from the "404 Spirit Not Found" slate gag to the self-working sock teleportation - appear here not just for their surprising effects, but for their personality. Magic, at its best, isn't about fooling an audience into thinking you possess supernatural powers; it's about creating a shared moment of wonder mixed with laughter, where even the magician seems to be...

This is an experiment to see whether the performer can identify a spectator's fingerprints. A spectator selects 5 cards from a deck, the faces of which are shown to be a random selection. The cards are dealt face down onto the table and the performer turns his back.

The helper now mixes the tabled cards by moving them around on the surface and then turns any one face up and presses his fingertips onto the card face. The card is then turned face down again and the cards mixed on the table again.

Turning back, the performer picks up the cards one at a time and amazingly manages to identify...
