"I've been playing with this today. It really is great and I'll be using it at this weeks weddings for sure! Rus has taken the "reversed card match" effect to another level with this. The added kickers of the odd backs followed by a deck of blank cards will fry laymen, and most magicians alike. The quality of the DVD by Magic Tao is first class. A live performance followed my a clear concise explanation. Rus is a clever thinking honest guy, an I can't wait to see what lease he releases for us in the future!!" - Matt Wainwright
Imagine telling a spectactor that, with their help, you...
"A devious deception …It's all in the hands! Whether it's gambling, influence or magic your number's up with Numbers." - IAIN - themagiccafe
"When it comes to 'card at any number' effects, I've tried most and Rus Andrews' 'Numbers' is the one I always come back to." - Sean Giles - themagiccafe
Numbers is a great twist on the ACAAN plot.
Imagine placing a prediction, openly in front of your spectator, and handing them a deck of cards. You then ask the spectator to create a 2 digit number. After the spectator has checked that the deck is a normal shuffled deck you ask them to...
"Beutifully Devious" - James Brown
"The cleanest and most natural impromptu cap in bottle that I've seen in years, I'll be using this for sure!" - Richard Bellars
"The combination of a devious principle and clever psychology make this effect a real winner! Probably the best impromptu cap in bottle routine I've seen!" - Cameron Francis
Evolution is an impromptu approach to the classic cap in bottle effect.
Imagine being able to take an empty beer bottle from a random table in a bar or nightclub, then taking any bottle cap, perhaps from behind the bar or from another drink… Have the spectator...
You show five cards completely blank on both sides. A card is selected from a regular deck (say the QH). The same card appears on the face of every blank card. Then all the cards are blank again including the spectator’s selection; this card now re-appears face up in the middle of the deck!
Requires four cards blank on both sides, a blank-backed card and a blank-faced card.
This is an amazing close-up trick which is a mystery to any audience. Two cards are selected from a deck of cards. You show several Jokers. One at a time, the Jokers turn over and during this process change one by one into duplicates of the first card. Then, all together they change into duplicates of the second selected card!
Requires two double faced cards.
More great magic of Nick Trost. All the routines are performed with a regular deck of cards.

If you've enjoyed Dave Arch's Tricks 4 Trainers series of ebooks, here's even more. Trainer of corporate trainers, Dave Arch, performs 20 magic tricks - demonstrating how to use them as openers, closers, or illustrations in training and teaching. (The tricks themselves are not explained because this video, or portions of it, are meant to be shown as is to the group of people you train. This is for trainers who do not perform magic.

The routine is based on Frank Garcia's "Five-Card Stunner" but also on handlings by Ken de Courcy and Herb Rungay. It is perfect for stand-up performers (parlor or stage) with no table required. You show a black card (say the 9C) and four red cards. When the cards are fanned, there are only four and they are all red; the black card has vanished. You eliminate one red card and then you remove the missing black card from the pocket. Again the cards are shown and then fanned. There are three red cards; the black card vanishes for the second time. You eliminate another red card and remove the black...
An uncanny demonstration of apparent thought-reading.
THREE SMASH HITS: You show a packet of cards (saying that it contains the four Queens) and leave it aside. You also show another packet of four cards and they are seen to be the four Queens. A spectator FREELY touches any card and this is revealed to be, say, the QC.
FIRST EFFECT: The QC is seen to be the only reversed card in the other packet.
SECOND EFFECT: This card has a red back, while the other three are blue-backed cards.
THIRD EFFECT: The three blue-backed cards are seen to have blank faces.
Easy to do. At the...

An effect by Paul Gordon performed by Aldo Colombini. You show some Jokers. The backs of the cards are red. One Joker with a big X on its back is placed among the cards and now all the cards have a big X on their backs. One card with a big O on its back is placed among the cards and now all the cards have big O’s on their backs. Finally, the cards are all back to normal. The big surprise comes when five cards are turned over and a letter appears on each card spelling the word MAGIC (or any other message, a Royal Flush, etc).
You will need five blank-faced cards.

Performed and explained by Brian Barnes.
The explanation for the performance and method is in Al Koran's Legacy but as Brian Barnes has been performing this act for around 50 years he has taken bits of the routine out and has added some of his own subtle touches.
This is a brilliant act for any full time magical entertainer. It just requires the minimum of props including a blindfold, cards and a table. It can be worked absolutely surrounded and for audiences of virtually any size.
Brian Barnes not only performs the act in front of an audience of twelve but then explains how to perform it in detail....
All the routines are performed with a regular deck of cards!
