A brand-new impromptu card magic effect in which two cards, chosen at random by the audience, are inexplicably captured!
This is an automatic card magic trick that can be improvised in any situation, even if you simply borrow a deck of cards (it could be also an incomplete one) and let the audience inspect it first.
The magician hands the deck to a pair of spectators so they can shuffle it as they please. Then the first spectator begins stacking a few cards face down on the table; he stops at one of them, discreetly notes it, and memorizes its value. He places it, face down, on top of that small stack, and the second spectator continues to stack a few more cards on top of it, as he pleases. He hands the deck back to the magician, who, after setting aside a few cards of his own to form a second pile, invites the second spectator to shuffle the rest of the deck again and draw a card at random. The spectator must memorize the card's secret value before placing it face down on the second pile and covering it with a few other cards of his choosing. Finally, the magician will do the same with a third pile, but this time he will leave the card he has chosen face up: this card will serve as a guide to catching the other two.
He will ask one of the two spectators to gather the three piles together and hand them all to the other spectator so that he can cut and complete the deck. After that, the magician will deal the cards into three piles twice, keeping only the pile containing his guide card and discarding all the other cards. Between each deal, the two viewers are free to cut and complete as many times as they like; nevertheless, at the end, the magician's card will remain on the table alongside only two others - which, incredibly, will turn out to be the audience members' own cards!
Strengths:
- Incredibly, it is a self-working effect, even though the method is very well hidden.
- You don't need to know any manipulation techniques, perform complex calculations, or strain your memory.
