A location of a selected card under true test conditions. The deck is shuffled before and after the selection ... yet the card can be located. It's fooled many well-versed magicians, so laymen don't stand a chance. Read on. (There is a full performance video with a spectator attached below as well.)

Imagine:

The magician introduces a deck of cards - he spreads it face-up to show that all the cards are different. The spectator is invited to thoroughly examine and shuffle the deck.

The magician then explains (as he gives a demonstration)...

Undercover Jokers is a totally improvised and self-working card-magic effect that can be performed with a borrowed and freely shuffled deck, with the addition of the two Jokers. It tells the action of two investigative jokers acting undercover in search of a particular pair of cards, two figures representing two dangerous fugitives. The last sighting takes place inside a small, mysterious, and crowded club, the Card Club, popular with magicians and gamblers. After identifying and capturing the first criminal among the many people in the club, the two jokers, thanks to their intuition gained...

THE CON ARTIST: It is a two stage effect utilizing the Bottom Deal. it may appeal to some. The second stage was partly inspired by an idea shown to me by Neil Smith.

DIVISORY CAPACITY: Two chosen cards are found in a surprising manner despite the fairness of the procedure.

THE 5 POINT 5 TRICK: A variation on the classic gag 'The 31/2 of Clubs' (why always Clubs?).

ALTERNATIVE UPDATE: In the book Alternative Card Magic I included an effect entitled "Change of Departure." Thist was based on...

Zingone recommends to use the records (in your case the MP3 files) for accompaniment, which means you don't even have to say a word during your performance. You just manipulate the cards to Zingone's voice, which makes it a lot easier and gives the performance a unique touch.

The Great Bridge Conspiracy ebook chronicles the espionage and card playing exploits of Captain Diggery Piper -- a flamboyant expert first created by Terry Quinn for a serial in Games Magazine. Just as Carroll's Through the Looking Glass and Nabokov's The Defense are structured in accordance with the rules and logic of chess, so Quinn has patterned the action of this swift-paced, suspenseful tale on the psychological intricacies of bridge, craftily building a house of cards that tumbles into a surprise ending.

EFFECT #1: The magician opens up a card wallet displaying some playing cards torn in four pieces, each of them held by a rubber band. He explains, "Those are a few of the wrong predictions I've made in the past. Since then, I've learnt to keep being positive. For example, this one was wrong at the time it was made, but what if it was just right today?" You move this one aside and pocket the rest.

This text contains an astonishing array of impromptu routines! Any time you are asked to perform a feat of mind reading, all you need is a pen and something to write on.

For example:

On five (or more) different pieces of paper (business cards work well) you write a unique sentence, folding each card as you finish. The participant takes all five pieces of paper, and while you turn around (or leave the room), opens one and reads it. Once this is done, the Mentalist has a short chat with the spectator, and then tells them the sentence...

Hide And Seek - a selected card gets 'stage fright' and keeps vanishing from the top of the deck and hiding itself in the deck's centre, before at the finish changing its back colour altogether! Regular cards only required, no re-set, a commercial up-in-the-hands routine for walkabout performance

No Palm Card To Pocket - if ever a trick title defined what happens in the trick itself, this is it! Easy to do, neat routining

The Right Wrong Prediction -a spectator genuinely freely selects a card...
