Young magician John Gelasi presents another experiment in a classic plot: “B’wave”.
This new two-packet “B’wave” effect called Making Waves combines all of the best elements of countless variations into one stunning packet trick. Best yet, you end completely clean, and all the cards can be examined immediately at the conclusion of the trick!
Here’s the basic effect:
Two packets of cards are used: one blue, and one red. The audience is asked to imagine that the red cards are the four aces, and that the blue cards are the four Queens. An ace is touched (free choice), say...
Here is a selection of tricks created by Werner Miller from his ebooks. These are all tricks that can be considered more or less self-working.
CONTENTS:
FLIPDOODLE 1: You use the twelve face cards to produce an astonishing result that finds three of the same suit.
I'M NOT OGEN: A spectator 'makes up a card combining any two cards. You spell the name of that card and you find it. Finally, you find the other three cards of the same value.
CHEERS!: You show seven cards with name of drinks on them and a prediction. A spectator selects a drink and you show that the prediction is correct… with a laugh.
...
SELLOTEST (Rex Taylor): A spectator chooses ANY word from a dictionary and you reveal that word. No questions asked.
A TRIBUTE TO THE CARD STARS (Lewis Ganson): In a beautiful crescendo, you produce the four Queens, the four Kings and finally, the four Aces. A stunning routine.
IMPOSSIBLE COINCIDENCE (Arthur Carter): The deck is shuffled by a spectator who deals four packets of cards. After that, four stunning coincidences are found.
TURN OVER CARDS (Peter Rees): A spectator shuffles cards face up and face down and gives you a packet of cards. You turn over some cards and when the two packets...
... A deck is covered with a handkerchief. When the handkerchief is removed the card is face up on top.
VARIATIONS VARIANT (Roger Curzon): This fantastic routine combines two classics of magic: Between The Palms and Point Of Departure.
FLASH (Mark Russell): A revelation of a Royal Flush (or any five cards) very pleasing to the eye.
FANTASIA (Stephen Tucker): A stunning routine. Four cards are selected, these four cards are seen to be predicted by you. The cards are the only ones with a red back in the blue deck and, at the end, the entire deck turns blank. Easy to do.
Addicted To Power
The spectator chooses a random number of cards and a random selection from the deck. The random cards have letters on their faces. If you read the letters they give you the name of the selection! After this the magician shows that all the other cards in the deck are blank!
Mystical Sandwich
Two spectators choose two cards by cutting the shuffled deck. They sign their cards and bury them into the deck. The magician spreads the deck and shows that the mystical card of the deck has turned face up in the middle of the deck. By spelling the name of the mystical card, the...
Nothing to buy, nothing to carry. Yet anytime you are challenged, you can do an impossible appearing feat using borrowed objects that you NEVER TOUCH!
EFFECT: To demonstrate a psychic test, the performer asks a participant to provide five envelopes of any kind, five business cards or blank index cards, and a pencil or pen. The performer refuses to touch any of these items and makes a point to stay away from them.
The performer turns his back and the participant is asked to sign his name on any one of the business cards. He is further instructed to choose one of the...
it breaks new ground and makes available to card conjurers new, and in some cases at least, better ways to reach desired goals than have heretofore been generally known.
Among the 53 sleights and flourishes explained by Mr. Andrus are 9 card "changes," used to switch a single card or packet of cards for another single card or packet; 5 "reverses," which enable the performer to turn over secretly one or more cards in the deck; 6 "diagonal jogs," for secretly getting control of selected cards that have been replaced in the pack; 4 "palms," which make it possible to get secret possession of,...
This is the third volume in a series of which Magic of the Hands and More Magic of the Hands were Volumes I and II, respectively. Like its predecessors, Further Magic of the Hands presents sleights and tricks with cards, coins, balls, thimbles, handkerchiefs, and other small articles. It is somewhat more expensive and slightly smaller than either of the earlier volumes, totaling (after deducting blank pages, and the unorthodox and quite unnecessary "half-titles" between chapters) about 100 pages. There are...
less to describe, all of these tricks - which we are assured reach a grand total of 193 - but may note a few that appeal to us as having special merit.
Among the card tricks are many which (as seems true of most of the recent developments in this field of magic) require prearrangement, special cards, or a good deal of "fooling 'round," such as "counting down" or "running through" the pack. Including only one or two tricks of this type, we select for special mention Dr. Raymond Beebe's Insto-Transpo Perfected, a simplification of a strikingly fine feat originated by the late Theo. Annemann;...

JASPER, THE MYSTICAL SNAKE: A cute effect involving a bunch of cards with different colored circles and a card showing a picture of Jasper, the mystical snake. The card having Jasper's picture on it is initialed on both front and back by the spectator and the circle cards are also thoroughly mixed by him. The spectator after mixing the different colored circle cards selects 2 of them and Jasper is able to reveal the chosen colors but in a dramatic manner. As a climax, all the other cards having other varying colored circles on them turn blank....
Simply put, a spectator's signed king from a packet of four kings vanishes from underneath her hand. As a kicker, the other 3 kings in the packet become blank even though she just saw all four of the kings. There are no switches.
Bird Two - Brainwave: Card 8
This is a variation of Nick Trost's 8 Card Brainwave that does the effect in reverse.
From a packet of 8 cards with 8 different colored backs, the spectator freely (no force) chooses one of them without knowing the values of any of the cards. Yet, the one she freely chose is found to be the only...
... important than the routines you will see and learn how the chaos handling is applied to this type of effects - you will be able to apply those ideas later in many of your effects to make them more fooling and fun.
The effects included are:
Mr. Green Goes Red: A spectator shuffles a deck of cards (which can be borrowed) and makes all the choices, and yet the prediction always matches. You never touch the deck during the trick.

Are you looking for an effect that will make spectators exclaim, "That's impossible!"? Look no further. This is the perfect closer for your show or to impress a client.
Here's how it works: The magician cuts the deck and gives spectators cards to shuffle. After that, he never touches the cards again. Three spectators each choose any card from their shuffled packet. After viewing their cards, they replace and reshuffle them. Once the deck is reassembled, all three spectators select another card, each using a different method: cutting, dealing to any card, or picking from a spread. Amazingly,...

Excerpt from the preface:
The aim of this book is to describe within the bounds of one volume the fundamental sleights and stratagems which are the tools of the modern card conjurer, and to illustrate the use of these tools by a representative selection of tricks with cards. No previous knowledge of the subject is presumed, and the book may be regarded as a primer of card magic.
This is a combination of Shufflebored and Joshua Jay's Total Recall effect. Think Shufflebored with no setup and the spectators shuffle the cards. There is only one minor sleight, if you can call it a sleight, and no setup. There is some easy memory work. The reset is instant, and the deck is clean. The prediction AH card has three other predictions.
New: A timeline of the events is included making it quicker and easier to learn the effect.
Two .jpgs of the prediction AH card are included, front and back. You can print it on a blank playing card, index card etc.
