Once you have a break you want to handle and display the deck such that it appears to be impossible to hold a break. Here is one sequence of bends and riffles developed by Ed Marlo and published in his Card Control Series from the 1950s.

This is a very subtle way to place a key card. It is essentially self-working and wonderfully deceptive.

This multiple shift is by Ed Marlo. It operates in two phases where in the first phase you bring the cards together that were inserted in different positions in the deck. And in the second phase, you bring these cards to the top.

This employs the Biddle move to switch out a packet of cards while showing them one at a time.

runtime: 1 min 49 s

The deck is shuffled. Spectator cuts off a small packet and sets it aside. The performer selects one card from the remaining cards. It turns out that this is the mate card to the card on the bottom of the spectator cut packet. The same procedure is repeated and again the performer is able to pick the mate card. In ever more impossible ways the spectator selects cards which turn out to be located next to their mates.

This routine was first published in Faro Control Miracles. It uses the stay stack principle.

A card is chosen and signed and lost in the deck. The card travels repeatedly to the performers pocket in ever cleaner and more unbelievable fashion.

A deck is riffle shuffled. Spectator cuts off a portion and performer can tell by the weight of the packet how many cards were cut. Performer quickly glances through the deck. Spectator calls out a number and performer knows immediately the card at that position in the deck. Then a poker hand is dealt with the magician dealing himself a straight flush. And the routine ends with a game of bridge where the performer receives all 13 spades, the best hand you can have in a game of bridge.

This is a routine Ed Marlo published in the 1940s in his book Spades - that is where the name of the routine comes...

This is an idea by Steve Mayhew. He turns the classic Triumph effect into something entirely different. A face-up half of a deck is shuffled into the other face-down half. The performer then demonstrates center dealing only the face-up cards. The last face-up cards coming out of the deck are the four aces leaving the performer with only face-down cards.

You are across the room and cannot see what the volunteers are doing with their paint-chip cards, yet you control the outcome and final reveal that everyone will accept being the result of mental influence or telepathy.

No expense beyond four ziplock sandwich baggies and a trip to the local home improvement store for free paint samples. No gaffs, sleights, or special skills beyond a lot of experience...

TWO'S COMPANY: You remove the four Kings from the deck, then have two spectators each select a card. Both selections are lost into the deck. You now offer the audience a choice of Kings, the red ones or the black ones. They might opt for the red Kings. You pick these up and turn them over whereupon the first spectator's selection appears reversed between them. You place this sandwich on the table then pick up the two black Kings, which you place face up on top of the deck and give...
