A new principle for business cards.

"I was badly fooled!" - Matt Mello

"I would give a testimony to this effect, but I don't want you guys having it. IT FOOLED ME - I grinned from ear to ear when RedDevil shared the workings and I just don't know if I'm ready to let RedDevil share this. It's too bloody cheeky! (Said in my best British accent). I love it!" - Peter Turner

in CARDOPIA, which I know you will, be sure to check out József's other ebooks, lecture notes and manuscripts... they are all great and I highly recommend them." - Stephen Tucker

"A collection of off-beat magic and smart thinking for sure! Fares is an effective piece of mentalism with cards. The almost hands-off card control is very cool. Mathemagic, Demi Sec and Twin Giants are really fun. - Raphaël Czaja

"Jozsef is a very clever thinker when it comes to creating excellent card magic for entertaining your spectators! I was especially happy with Demi Sec, Twin Giants and Paddle...

a theme and created a medley, really a fugue, with developed variations on a theme. Whether one does the entire routine or even just a part or two of it, I think a lot of people are going to get a lot of mileage out of this. When you consider all you need to have with you is a half dozen business cards and a pen or Sharpie in your pocket, I think it'll be hard to leave home without it." - Richard Busch

"Minimum preparation, maximum impact! Plus, the repeat will stun the skeptics. Creative people who write clear, crisp instructions are scarce. Steve Shufton is among that elite few. PS-I...

Virtual Revelations Triumph is a new and incredible hands-off card magic effect, which is also possible from a distance (in a video chat, e.g. on Zoom, Skype or Google Meet), in which a couple of people in the same room, even if they are connected to the illusionist miles away, will take part in an experiment in which two cards freely chosen from about half the deck, distributed in various piles and shuffled between them, turning some of them face up and others face down, depending on the free choices of the two participants, will end up being the only two cards left face down and which, once...

Virtual Color Separation is an unusual and incredible effect of hands-off card magic, manageable even remotely, through a video chat, such as Zoom, Skype or Google Meet, but especially possible to perform by phone, with a spectator who has a common deck of 52 playing cards, that the magician will never have the opportunity to see but will still be able to control inexplicably, coming at the end to separate the red-suited cards from the black ones, without the spectator any wiser.

A lady chosen as a spectator, after having separated the red-suited cards from the black ones, will choose the...

1) GOOD LUCK: A spectator cuts the deck to a card, remembers it and replaces it exactly where it was, without disturbing the order of the deck. Then, the magician removes three cards from the deck and tables them face down in a row. He puts one card aside with the help of the spectator. After two cards have been discarded, the magician is left with the spectator's selection!

2) HUNCH: After a spectator has examined and shuffled the deck, the magician demonstrates how...

The title of this eBook hides its inspiration ... The effect is totally impromptu, self-working, quick and easy to perform (only eight cards are used), does not require any kind of card magic technique, and introduces the spectator to the possibility of secretly choosing whether to lie or tell the truth in response to the few questions that the mentalist will ask him during the experiment. In spite of all this, a merely thought-out card will be punctually found at the end of the experiment.

Noting the possible whispering in the room (especially if there are fellow magicians present, I say...

In 1902 under the pseudonym S.W. Erdnase and the title Artifice, Ruse and Subterfuge at the Card Table a book on sleight-of-hand with cards was published. This book became the bible for card magicians. To this date it remains arguably the single most important book on sleight-of-hand card magic. Some of the most respected masters of card magic,...
