A spectator selects at random a card from an invisible pack - let's imagine the spectator says it is the 5H. This invisible card is apparently placed onto the spectator's hand.

Next a blank faced deck is freely displayed and shuffled before one card is selected. This blank faced card to placed momentarily onto the invisible card, and then when it is turned over, the blank face is now printed with the 5H card face.

A deck is shuffled by a spectator. A card is picked in a fair and open manner. The card is returned and the deck is shuffled again by the spectator. The performer takes out four cards, one of the four is the spectator chosen card. The chosen card vanishes leaving only three cards in the performer's hands. The card appears face-up in the tabled deck.

Kevin Parker has created a prediction effect that is too impossible to be true: you predict where their card will land in a shuffled deck (*this many* cards down in the deck), mixed in someone's hat to eliminate false shuffling in the hands.

This uses no gimmicks and no trick decks. Use your hat or their's, no specific type. Very practical.

• Spectator can assist the shuffle in hat.
• Use anyone's hat, even your's, no specific type.
• Easy, a complete beginner could do it.

A visual partial vanish of a playing card.

Performer holds a playing card in front of his body. Suddenly most of the card vanishes leaving only the border behind.

This requires the usual supplies and arts and crafts for gaffing cards, plus a black background like a black T-shirt.

A super visual partial vanish of a playing card.

Performer holds an empty card frame in one hand and a playing card in the other. By moving the playing card behind the frame the back of the playing card partially vanishes only leaving its frame visible. This looks incredible since the cards can be moved around and everything looks as it should. One could suspect CGI, but everything is achieved with gaffed cards and sleight of hand.

This requires the usual supplies and arts and crafts for gaffing cards, plus a black background like a black T-shirt.

The magician holds a card in front of his body and with a wave of the hand, the center vanishes only leaving the border.

This is an improvement to the older version because it does not require a black background. You will need the usual supplies and arts and crafts for gaffing cards.

Use the Minus One Bottom Deal as a fake center deal. (You will need the description of the Minus One Bottom Deal to perform this move.)

Once you have mastered the Maintain Break With Fan technique you can use this idea to rather glimpse a card than keep the break.

runtime: 44s

A terrific control from a fan, created by Paul LePaul. You insert a selected card into a pressure fan. After closing the fan you have the selected card jogged, which allows you to take a break above or below.

Use a little fan to cover a pass. (Also part of Move Mastery 1.)

This is a special performance by Yoshihiko Mutobe, very slick moves. One of the few videos of the great Japanese master that are on the market.

The impossible appearance of a pen in a bottle.

Show an empty plastic bottle and suddenly a big sharpie pen materializes inside the bottle. Dump the pen out and show it.

Note that this has very bad angles and can only successfully be performed in front of a camera or one stationary viewer. Great for YouTube and video chats but not an item performable with a live audience. Gimmick is easy to make.

Four Aces that are spread throughout the deck are being 'culled' to the top by two faro shuffles.

runtime: 1min 18s

This is an amazingly easy but equally deceptive card revelation that can be done over and over to reveal a sequence of cards.

runtime: 1min 20s

You will learn how to quickly check if a card is missing from your deck, or if a certain card is exactly at the 26th position from the top.

This is a neat technique to split a deck into four packets of exactly 13 cards each without counting.

This is a 'princess' style mental effect. Spectator receives a few cards, remembers one of them and then these cards are shuffled back into the rest of the deck. The performer shows groups of cards to the spectator until a group is identified that holds the spectator thought of card. The card magically travels from one packet to another packet exactly to the position that a second spectator cut to.

runtime: 5min 21s

This effect is a masterpiece of mathematical engineering with a sophisticated and devilish method. If you are a fan of the Faro shuffle you will not regret having acquired this gem. This effect is an exception because it requires skill and sleight of hand compared to tricks published by joseph B. in the past. Despite this, if you are familiar with the Faro shuffle this is the effect for you.

Effect: The magician places a prediction card on the table indicating his lucky number. The spectator thinks of a number from one to ten, cuts the deck in two, and takes a number of cards equal to the...

Change a playing card into a bill, or a bill into another bill.

You show four red-backed aces clearly and individually from both sides. A turn of the packet and suddenly you hold the four kings with blue backs.

Do as I Do under impossible conditions.

An impossible coincidence, a powerful mental effect. Two regular and shuffled decks. Really simple and fun to do. The spectator takes any card from one deck and the magician does the same from the other deck. The amazing thing is that the magician and the spectator surprisingly took the same card. A variation "Do as I do" with an interesting and fascinating technique.

• Two normal decks
• No gimmick; no double-sided card
• No sticky stuff; no wax; no rough and smooth; no tape or double-sided tape
