A card is genuinely freely selected (and can be signed if required) and is shuffled into the deck, which is placed back into the box. A half dollar, which is marked with a sticker bearing a spectator's initials, is taken into the performer's hand from where it instantly vanishes.

With empty hands, the deck is slid from the box and is cut to reveal the marked coin resting on the back of one particular card in the centre of the pack. This card is turned over to reveal that it is the selection.

This is my Ace Assembly sequence: four Aces vanish from three packets and assemble together. In the finale, the Aces are redistributed into four piles. But it doesn't end there - if the performer can truly transpose cards at will, the four Aces can even switch places with the four Aces from another deck.

We feel this is the Holy Grail of gimmicked card effects. At a 1971 lecture in New Orleans, Bro. John Hamman exhibited this masterpiece to a small group of stunned magicians. To construct and perform it requires a glue stick, a pair of scissors, minimum DIY skills, and half a brain. The video demonstration below speaks for itself.

A number of spectators appear to demonstrate some psychic ability when they create magical moments that reveal colours randomly assigned to them, and which, in theory, they should not be able to know had been allocated to them.

Simple to do, this is a nice laid-back mental/magic routine designed for parlour performance and which requires just a few simple props that you will probably already have or which you can easily acquire or make.

The spectator freely rolls four dice. The performer deals the corresponding number of cards for each roll, forming four piles. The performer then explains that the top faces give one set of numbers and the bottom faces give another, and has the spectator turn the dice over 180 degrees. The dealing continues according to these new numbers. When all the cards are dealt, the face cards of the four piles are all Kings. The performer asks why we look at both the top and bottom of the dice - because the four piles must also be read both ways. The bottom cards are turned over to reveal four Aces. ...

A genuinely freely selected card (which can be signed if desired) is shuffled back into a deck. The performer then mimes the removal of that card invisibly and hands it to the spectator to hold for a moment. The cards are then spread face up to show that the chosen card is no longer in the pack.

Squaring the deck, the spectator is invited to push the invisible card he holds face up into the now face down pack. Immediately, the cards are ribbon spread face down again across the table to reveal the selection face up in the centre! Just a regular deck required, straightforward handling,...

The spectator freely selects a card and returns it to the deck. The magician inserts two Jokers, and the spectator table-riffle shuffles and cuts the cards. The Jokers progressively close in and finally sandwich the selection. On top of that, during the shuffles the spectator also separates the deck into three piles and locates the other three cards of the same value!

You show four jokers and they all have the same back. The spectator picks a joker, and it has a different back to what was shown before. You will receive three variations of the same theme.

This is a wonderfully simple plot that creates a really puzzling effect. A regular, ungimmicked coffee cup is shown and a large sponge ball is tipped out from inside. The cup is clearly shown to be otherwise empty and both of the performer's hands also have genuinely nothing in them.

The ball is placed into a pocket, both hands again being shown to be empty. The inside of the coffee cup is displayed and then inverted mouth down onto the magician's hand. A snap of the fingers and when the cup is tipped backwards, the ball is found impossibly to be back underneath.

A very direct ACAAN-style effect. The magician places a single card on the table. The spectator freely rolls two dice and chooses how to combine the numbers. A deck is brought out and shown to be all different, with no duplicates. The cards are dealt to the chosen number, and it exactly matches the prediction on the table.

• No force
• No gimmicks - a completely ordinary deck

You start out showing four blue cards. One by one, they turn red, and they have a big hole cut in the middle. This hole is not a fake. You can put your finger through it.

My Jazz Aces routine differs from the classic handling in both procedure and display, and it finishes with my own handling for a different ending.

While the promo already covers most of it, here are a few important details it doesn't clearly point out.

The choice of card, number, and their combination is completely free. The deck stays in full view the entire time; it is never hidden or taken out of sight.

There is an additional secret action that happens while the performer is asking for the card and number. It is naturally woven into the conversation and presentation, so the audience won't notice it. From the audience's perspective, the trick hasn't even begun yet, moreover the deck remains in full view and more importantly away...

Two sets of 7 cards are shown. One pile has pictures of the logos of 7 of the most common social media platforms. The other set has the names of these platforms written in words on the cards.

Two spectators who do not know each other are invited to see whether they can connect via the same social media platform. The pile of cards with names on them are shuffled and spread face down. Spectator 1 can touch the back of any one of the cards – it is a genuinely free choice. The selection is placed aside unseen but in view.

The pile of logo cards is shuffled and spectator 2 names any number...

Six cards, three have a large red dot on their face, and the other three are jokers. The red dot cards change their backs multiple times.

A deck is shuffled and placed squared face down on the table. A spectator is invited to cut off a block of cards from the pack and to look at and remember the face card of the cut-away section.

The helper is now asked to cut his block of cards to lose the selection in the centre of the pile, and then he is requested to slip his pile somewhere into the middle of the cards still on the table, squaring the pack at the finish.

The magician has had no opportunity to catch even a glimpse of the chosen card, and in fact, the deck itself is put away in the box to preclude that possibility. Despite...

The spectator selects a card and returns it to the deck. The spectator cuts off a packet, then the performer deals left and right. Four consecutive times the dealt cards are not the selection, yet each one precisely names an attribute of the chosen card, and after the elimination, the final remaining card is the original selection. Even more, when the four piles are turned face up, together with the selection they form a Royal Flush.

During the spectator's cut, there is no crimp and no extra handling, yet the selection and the key cards can still be located with precision.

A quick, convincing, smart version of this classic. No heavy lifting here. The vanish is clean, the action deliberate, few if any angle concerns, little skill required. Can you afford not to invest the minimal effort required to include this startling vanish/production among your surprises? You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Four cards are shown and counted repeatedly. Every time through the count, one card suddenly has a big hole through its center. These are real holes you can put your finger through. This goes on until all four cards have holes.

The spectator selects a card and replaces it in the deck. The magician has the spectator cut the deck into three piles and turn over the top card of each pile. None of them is the selection, but the values of the three top cards add up to the exact position of the selected card.

No Crimp - the position is found purely by adding the values of the three cards the spectator cuts to. There is no secret cut involved.

1st edition 2026, video 10:28.

A very simple way to cut to the desired cards, ideal as an opening effect. A detailed application of a classic principle, ending with an unexpected kicker.

This tutorial teaches three of my palming techniques. Because my hands are relatively small, palming has always been challenging for me, which is why I developed several simpler palming methods.

Crescent Palm: a technique for palming a card quickly during the squaring of the deck.

Pinched Palm: a fast and simple bottom-card palm.

Stealing Palm: my take on the Diagonal Palm Shift, designed to move a center card directly into Classic Palm.

In this PDF, I am publishing a very strong variant of my effect The Gift. I call this variant The Gift 3 - I've already published another effect called The Gift 2, hence this is the third effect in the series.

If you first watch the performance video of The Gift (using the aforementioned link) and then you watch the performance video of The Gift 3 (below), you will notice a crucial difference that makes this variant more impossible-looking. Thus, this variant is a good performance piece for those magicians who are aware of the workings behind the original The Gift...

The spectator freely cuts the deck. The performer spreads the cards and claims to mentally influence the spectator to choose a specific card. The spectator then freely selects a card - no force. After the selection, the performer splits the deck at the point of selection and reveals that the cards are in suit-and-value order, except for the one card the performer named at the beginning. The finale reveals the spectator's selection, which turns out to be exactly the card predicted at the start.

• No force
• No gimmick
• Only a regular deck

A variation of a classic routine: the four Aces are turned face down one by one. The performer openly changes the orientation of all the cards, and after the audience confirms the backs are the same color, all four cards change to different colors.

1st edition 2025, video 7:39.

A completely self-working effect requiring no sleight of hand. The magician introduces a prediction card and has the spectator freely cut a small packet. The deck is then divided into three piles, and cards are dealt down according to a freely chosen number. The four Aces are cleanly located. In addition, the spectator's cut card, the prediction card, and the bottom cards of the three piles combine to form a Royal Flush. For the full procedure, please refer to the video demonstration.

A new method for a simple oil-and-water type of routine. Nothing is gimmicked. There isn't any complicated sleight-of-hand either.

The magician begins by taking out 9 cards. A spectator then freely cuts off a packet, counts the cards, and remembers the card at that corresponding number. After that, the spectator freely selects 3 cards from the 9, and the sum of those values not only locates the original selection but also reveals the other three cards of the same value.

A classic principle reworked with a special setup turns this into a much stronger ACAAN-style routine.

Full effect shown in the performance video.

A spectator freely selects a card and returns it to the middle of the deck. The cards are split into two packets and interlaced face-up into face-down. In an instant, every card turns face-up except the selection - still face-down. And it's not over. Why can the magician locate the selection so cleanly? Because it's the only card in the deck that's different from all the others.

Bottom Fan Control: This routine also teaches my bottom control: the spectator's card is openly placed into the middle of the deck, the magician squares the pack, and the selection is controlled straight to the...

Imagine four helpers who each secretly select and mentally store a symbol from a group of sixteen unique characters. Only they know what they chose. Now imagine a mentalist who determines the symbol each participant selected by merely observing the scrambled sixteen symbols. That's it!

Everything can be examined. No forces of any kind. Symbols are selected from four sides of four cubes or blocks. Cubes are randomly mixed and the order of display selected by a participant.

There are two presentations offered. A parlor version uses 2" blocks or cubes. A close-up version uses four dice....

A multi-phase ACAAN routine with a completely unexpected ending.

A very unusual selection-finding sequence: after a freely chosen card is returned to the deck, the performer claims to give the spectator four chances to locate it. The spectator cuts the deck into four piles, but none of the top cards are the selection. Just as it seems the magician has failed, the plot turns - each of the four cards not only indicates the exact position of the selection, but also reveals the mates of the chosen value. See the full routine in the performance video.
