This is an updated handling of a Le Paul effect. A blue and a red-backed deck are used. The spectator selects a card from the blue-backed deck. This card is mixed into a small packet of red-backed cards. Magically the back colors change and suddenly the selected card has a red back and the other cards are now all blue-backed.

Nightsky: Originally appearing in a Peter Turner book, Nightsky is a beautiful method for forcing a participant into constructing the scene/image you want them to, existing only in their mind. Taking up very little pocket space (one card slot in my wallet!), you will always be ready to go with a killer drawing duplication, or mind reading demonstration.

Cinders: Cinders is a highly visual burnt and restored card effect. A selected card is signed and then set alight, until a good portion is completely burnt away. With only...

Slip Cuts play a vital role in "Cutting to the Aces," a presentation auspiciously introduced in Stars of Magic (1946). Dai Vernon's handling sparked lots of interest when it first appeared, providing strong incentive to master the Slip Cut. Cardini, who also knew a great trick when he saw one, strongly endorsed Vernon's presentation:

"To lovers of outstanding card magic I heartily recommend 'Cutting the Aces.' It is showy and mystifying, more so than you would think a card trick could possibly be."

Therefore, this treatise begins with explanations of three versions of Ace-Cutting. This may induce...

L’A.C.A.A.N., in Italia noto anche come “Carta al Numero” è un genere di effetto di Cartomagia e Mentalismo oramai divenuto un classico da quando è stato proposto dal grandissimo David Berglas che appunto per primo l’ha definito “Any card At Any Number”

Questa mia versione è molto semplice da performare ma, se ben presentata, potrà riscuotere grande stupore sia tra un pubblico di maghi che di profani, e può essere eseguita tanto in Close-Up quanto in Scena, su un palco teatrale….

Necessita semplicemente di un comune mazzo di 52 carte ed eventualmente di un paio di...

Another switch of a sandwiched card by Allan Ackerman. It uses the same setup as the Switch Out Count.

runtime: 1min 21s

A spectator peeks at a card and performer knows which card was peeked at. This is done twice in a row and both times the performer is correct.

runtime: 3min 9s

This production allows you to produce eight cards in total.

runtime: 2min 41s

Using a swing cut action, Allan teaches a double and a triple false cut to be used while seated at the table.

runtime: 1min 14s

The double deal is to secretly deal the bottom card together with the top card. Here Allan combines the dealing action with turning the card(s) face up on the deck revealing the bottom card.

runtime: 1min 15s

This is a fairly easy false count but nevertheless very deceptive. It allows you to count less cards than you deal on the table.

runtime: 1min 32s

This move allows you to toss two doubles on the table. It is essentially a double Schwarzman Long Toss and looks amazing - a great magician fooler.

"I LOVE the plot, Michał! A truly intriguing proposition, where the performer engages in a progressive game of "one-upmanship" that's easy for any audience to grasp; leaving no doubt as to the performer's consummate skill with a pack of playing cards." - Jack Carpenter

"Michał Kociołek's 'Double Duke' is a terrific addition to your repertoire. Great thinking and a demonstration of inexplicable skill that will impress any audience." - Andrew Wimhurst

"Michał's thinking and construction is top notch and sophisticated. It's the kind of card magic I love." - David Malek

This subtlety will make it much easier and cleaner to turn back a double lift.

runtime: 49s

The double undercut is one of the basic utility moves of card magic. It allows you to move cards from the top to the bottom or vice versa. It can also be used as a card control. Allan teaches you both, the in-hand and on-the-table varieties.

runtime: 4min 5s

This is a neat ambitious type card routine where it appears that the deck consists of all the same cards because the same card can be found on the top, center and bottom.

It is assumed that you know the Ultra Move, Double Deal and a double lift.

This is another Red Black Shuffle, but in contrast to Ireland's Red Black Shuffle this is a riffle shuffle technique.

This Steve Draun idea allows you to peek the card while you do fan cards using a pressure fan. This is in contrast to techniques where you glimpse at or after closing the fan.

runtime: 1min 8s

This is a Herman style pass developed by Steve Draun.
