A Test-Condition Impossibility!

EFFECT: When the magician notices that he's missing a few cards from his blue-backed deck, a few cards are randomly chosen by a spectator from a red-backed deck and added to the blue deck. When the magician discovers the missing blue-backed cards, they match the red-backed cards chosen by the spectator!

Different Cards Can Be Used Every Time The Effect Is Performed!
A Self-Working Killer Effect from David's Magic Castle Act.

Comes complete with two packs of Bicycle cards!

A full deck of cards is placed on the table. Performer hands out a sealed prediction. While the Magicians back is turned, the spectator counts off from 1-12 cards from the top of the deck without looking at the faces and hiding the faces from the performers veiw.The Magician then counts off 12 cards from the top of the remaining deck and arranges them like the face of a clock from 1 to 12. The performer now askes how many cards were taken. Let's say the answer is 7. The magician counts 1 to 7 on the card clock and turns over the 7th card and calls it out. Let's say it is the King of Clubs, the Performer asks the spectator to open the prediction. Prediction says "Sorry, I am very tired today - all I can tell you is that you will not choose the 2 of diamonds" - WHAT A LET DOWN! But when the spectator looks at the cards he/she counted off, they are all 2 OF DIAMONDS! The other 11 cards in the clock are ALL 2 OF DIAMONDS. The rest of the cards in the deck are ALL 2 OF DIAMONDS - I TOLD YOU IT WAS INSIDE- OUT!! This is a very effective trick, very easy to do and loads of laughs!

Come Complete With:
1 Gimmicked Deck
3 Special Envelopes
3 Gimmick Answer Sheets
Plus all instructions.

Insight is #3 in the Devin Knight's Psychic Sight series. In this release a random spectator exhibits an uncanny INSIGHT by calling out the exact location of a thought of card.

At the end of your close-up routine, you say people often wonder how you (the magician)can find chosen cards so easily. You'd like to see if one of the spectators could find a chosen card without you doing anything, but by using his INSIGHT.

You invite two spectators to help in this experiment. You remove a deck of cards casually show them face up while you remove the joker. They are placed face down on the table. You ask one of the spectators cut off a block and look at a card. Not to remove it, just THINK of it. You really don't know what card the person is thinking about! The selection is made in the spectator's hands. The magician isn't touching the cards. The person doesn't write the card down, he merely thinks of it.

The deck is then picked up by you and mixed so nobody knows where the card he is just thinking of is. You casually spread the cards face up telling the 2nd person the thought of card could be anywhere in the deck. You turn the deck face down and place it on the table. The 2nd person is asked to use his INSIGHT and decide on a number. Let's say he decides on 27. You ask him to deal a pile of 27 cards face down. The magician does NOT touch the cards.

After the pile is dealt you ask the first person for the FIRST time what card he thought of. You really don't know the card he thought of until he now names it.

You point out that the first person freely choose a number and dealt that many cards off. You say that nobody could know the top card of that pile. You point out that had he stopped one card sooner it would have been different. You have him turn over the other card on the other pile showing it not the thought of card. Now for the climax, the person turns over the card counted down to, and it is the merely thought of card!

IMPORTANT POINTS:
The Deck is out of the case before a number is selected The thought of card is not revealed until after the named number has been dealt to!

No specially printed cards. You really don't know the card the person thinks of until he tells you right before the dealt to card is turned over. No misses and No outs. Easy to do with no complicated calculations. No memorized deck. No Rough & Smooth. No Marked Cards. Comes with several different presentations and handlings. Very clean and nothing appears to be contrived.

Complete with special bicycle poker deck and complete detailed directions that give you every nuance that Devin has developed over the years.

You remember the ACME Portable Spectator simply thinks of a card NO FORCE.
Draw a portable hole on the top card of the deck.
You 'Peel' the hole off and throw it into the deck!

Only the spectator's freely thought of card has a hole!

"Totally amazing! We are fortunate that John tinkers with our minds purely for non-evil purposes"
David Acer Magic - Author

Five blank cards & one 8 - Ball card are shown on both sides. The spectator chooses a face down card from the six. The choice is the only odd card the 8 - Ball! The spectator chooses again from the six cards. The magician triumphantly shows the face of the chosen card without looking and states "Again, you have chosen the one odd card!" However, the card is blank. When the 'error' is called to the magician's attention, he shows that the blank card is, in fact, the odd card by revealing that the five remaining cards have magically changed to 8 - ball cards! Includes full instructions and everything you need to perform the trick! Something different in card magic!

Running Time Approximately 1hr 20min

A very strong and amazing mental effect.
Performer displays a small envelope with four cards in it. He states that this contains the four queens from a deck of cards, but one queen is different from the other three. A spectator is asked to call out any one of the four queens, i.e. hearts, clubs, diamonds or spades. Let us suppose he calls out the queen of hearts. The four cards are removed from the envelope and fanned. Amazingly the selected card is found to be face up among 3 other face down cards. That is not all, for a climax the selected card is turned over and the back is seen to be a different color from the other 3 face down card, i.e. if the 3 face down cards have blue backs then the back of the selected card is seen to be red.
An excellent trick totally mechanical in working. No force. A first class magic effect you can perform anytime any where and for any audience.
Comes beautifully packaged with full colored instructions, at an amazingly low affordable price.

Repeat Instantly with a Different Card!

A spectator chooses a card which is then lost in the deck. The magician places the deck aside and brings forth a wine glass. As the magician exhales onto the glass, the name of the chosen card magically appears in the condensation on the side of the glass!

The effect can then be instantly repeated with the same glass and with a different card showing ON THE GLASS!

Ideal for Restaurant Work!

Ultra-direct mind reading. So clean, spectators will swear you're able to reach into their heads and discern their innermost thoughts! The magician asks a spectator to think of any of the 52 cards. There is no force of ANY kind. The choice is completely free. Next, the magician shows four cards to the spectator. Each card is a factory misprint of sorts, with random numbers on their backs and random pips on their faces. Without any pumping or fishing, the magician asks the spectator to look at the face of each card, and then the back of each one. Instantly, the magician knows the name of the spectator's thought-of card! There is no pumping or fishing and no guesswork involved. The magician knows - with complete certainty - which card the spectator merely thought of!

Michael Boden's Misprinted Thought comes complete with plastic wallet containing 4 gimmicked Bicycle cards, instruction sheet and is ready to work.

It's so easy to do, even YOU might believe in mind reading once you've tried it!

Alien Invasion by Danny Archer. You get Bike Poker cards specially printed with really neat little green Martian type guys on them. You also get a VERY good little routine and the patter. Here you go: Four alien cards are shown. One is replaced with a blue-backed selected card, and instantly, all four cards have become blue-backed duplicates! The process is reversed with all the cards again changing to Martians! You will like this. A fun theme that plays off all the ‘alien’ stuff in the movies and on TV. Highly Recommended.

You the entertainer has any audience member select a playing card from the deck, that seems simple and so magical. Explain its time to carry out some 'good ol' magic with your drawing pad, you chuckle.

Now with your trusty drawing pad facing yourself, they believe you're drafting an illustration of their selected card. Turn the drawing pad around, showing a marvelous fantastic piece of art! This is a picture of a single card.

But you're told loudly it is not their card at all! Naturally you exclaim you weren't finished drawing yet. You continue drawing so the single card is now a deck of cards inside a wine glass.

Surprise surprise you say, their card is inside the deck that’s held by the wine glass drawing!

Not very funny is it? But you're a magician and magic occurs at the strangest times. The audience notices the selected card rising from the card deck that's drawn within the wine glass!

Now for the grand finale’ so they'll remember you. Tear the drawing of the rising card and wine glass from the pad and give it to the audience member to keep.

Everything included even a plastic drawing template and markers.

Here's just one of the many effects possible with Arthur Tivoli's Simplex Card to Box:

The magician displays a small, empty cardboard box to the audience (which may be examined) and places it aside on the table. A card is freely selected and signed by a spectator, then replaced in the deck. After a magical gesture, the magician spreads the cards face-up, revealing that the card has disappeared!

The spectator may then open the box which has been resting on the table, removes their signed, folded card and may examine everything!

No flaps or duplicate cards
Normal-looking box which may be examined before and after the effect
Instantly resets
No shuttle pass-the spectator may remove their own card from the box!
Master the simple moves in only a few minutes
Includes box and detailed, photo-illustrated instructions.

Imagine taking a deck of cards and having someone select one. Then imagine borrowing a banknote of any denomination. Finally, imagine the look of disbelief on the spectator's faces when you take the freely selected card and push it straight through the middle of the borrowed bill. That's right, the audience clearly sees the card go straight throught the bill!!

At the end of the routine, the card and bill can be handed back to the spectator to be examined!

Card Through Bill is one of the easieist tricks you will ever perform, yet is one of the most visual!

The selected card is not a Joker, but that's not all! The entire deck is spread out only to reveal that it is all Jokers. Fantastic effect and very easy to do.
Bicycle Poker deck.

The magician has a card selected and signed. He then places the signed card into the center of the deck. He picks up two blank playing cards of a different color to the color of the deck, and places one blank on top and the other on the bottom of the deck.

He gives the deck a quick jerk allowing all of the playing cards in the deck to jump out from between the two blanks and into his other hand. When the spectator looks through the deck he cannot find his signed selection. It has become TRAPPED between the two blank cards!

The magician then gives the spectator his signed card.

Comes complete with special gimmick and detailed instructions explaining how to perform this excellent magical effect!

How do P-PIK Prediction Cards Work?


The cards are laid out side by side in no particular order.
The spectator freely chooses any one of the cards.
The remaining cards are used to force a number
on the spectator in a very deceptive way.
Their number is matched up to one of many
symbols on the front of their chosen card.
Each card is different.
Show the back of their card and their chosen
symbol will gradually materialize into view,
right in front of their eyes.

Some cards keep the static-charge from the factory?

A card is turned face up on back of deck of cards and is displayed towards the audience.
Suddenly the card starts floating out towards the audience away from the deck.
It just looks like it is FLOATING in space, but its just the static-charge!
The card then slowly floats back onto the deck. Very Strong Magic!

NO Threads!

Matrix Poker is a strange game.

The rules are very simple. So simple, that they're printed on a coin purse, which the magician displays. Along with the purse, the magician lays out 16 cards on the table. Each card has a monetary value printed on it.

A spectator - completely freely, without any undue influence from the magician - selects four of the number cards. The values on the cards are added, to arrive at a value. Surprisingly, despite the completely free selection, the magician has predicted the total exactly! The very same amount the spectator selected is found inside the coin purse.

But, there's more. When the number cards are flipped over, four playing cards are on the reverse. The magician predicted these cards, too! Their values were permanently printed on the coin purse all along!

The trick requires no sleight of hand. It works every time, all the time.

Matrix Poker comes complete with specially printed cards (from the US Playing Card Company), custom-manufactured coin purse, illustrated, detailed instructions and specially printed bills (you can of course use real money, in ANY currency!)

Mike Danata comments:

This is really easy to do & VERY effective, I reccomend it!

TWO DECK COINCIDENCE (BY ARRANGEMENT WITH REPRO MAGIC)

Two packs of cards are shown, a BLUE backed deck & a RED backed deck. Cards are shown, faces & backs.

The BLUE BACKED deck of cards is handed to a spectator.

The spectator FREELY selects a card from the RED BACKED deck. The chosen card is placed FACE UP on the table. The spectator is then asked to open up the Blue backed deck, that has been in his posession from the start, to count the cards out loud as he deals the cards FACE UP onto the table, stopping when he comes to the duplicate of his FREELY chosen card. The spectator deals the cards, but is amazed to discover only 51 cards!! the card he freely selected is actually MISSING from the blue backed deck!!! When the spectator turns his chosen card over, he is STUNNED to find that it has a blue back! it IS (read that again!!) the card that is MISSING from the BLUE backed deck!!!! Somehow from a RED pack pack of cards the spectator ends up choosing a blue backed card which is the ONLY card missing from the other BLUE BACKED pack!!!

WEIRD!!!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!

VERY EASY TO DO

Comes Complete with full instructions plus TWO very special packs of Bicycle Cards

I demonstrate this all the time in the studio, it's a really GREAT TRICK!

Poker Size
Bicycle playing cards are the worldwide standard for magicians. These poker size cards offer the best quality finish for durability and are available in red or blue.

A spectator’s freely selected card is signed and returned to the deck. The magician says that he will use fire to find the spectator’s card.
As he says this, he removes one match from a matchbook and lights it.
The spectator is asked to hold the match. The magician tries to find the spectator’s card before the match burns out, but he fails to do so. With the matchbook at his fingertips, the magician waves his hand over the deck. The matchbook is opened slowly, and one card appears folded up inside. Cleanly and fairly the folded card is removed from the matchbook, folded open, only to reveal the spectator’s signed selection!
A truly devastating routine, which uses a very clever method that even fools professional magicians!
What People Are Saying:
"Very, very clever, indeed!" - Ben Harris
"Matchbook Odyssey is very cool and well thought out. I thought there would be a switch as the card was removed but it was REALLY there! And everything is examinable. It’s squeaky clean and very practical. Great thinking!" - Mike Powers
"This looks excellent. Best card in matchbook I’ve seen" - Peter Duffie
This DVD includes a special card gimmick on Bicycle stock, and instructions for the easy construction of the necessary gimmick. (Use your own Matchbook).

(Zander Magic)
The performer displays a wallet, which contains two identical sets of five cards, Ace through Five. The performer looks through the first set of cards and removes a prediction and places it back into the wallet. The spectator is then asked to look through the second set of cards and mentally select one of them. The second set of cards is then placed into the wallet along with the performers prediction.

At this point, the spectator is told that they may change their mind and choose a new selection. When the spectator is satisfied with their choice, the performer begins to remove the cards from the wallet one at a time. The spectator is instructed to name their selection when it is removed from the wallet. After all five of the second set of cards are removed from the wallet there is only one card left, the performers prediction, which is a match to the spectators mental selection!

by Sean Taylor
Effect
The magician relates a story about how his Grandfather, a retired riverboat gambler, would always beat him at cards. He goes on to explain that he finally found out the old man was able to win by using a unique marking system for the cards. Removing a red deck, the magician shows that his Grandfather actually marked the cards on the front instead of the back. Peering down at the face card of the deck the magician pretends to be looking at the mark and then confidently announces the card. Shuffling the deck and looking at another face, he announces another card. Naturally, the spectators are unimpressed. They too can easily see which card is which. The magician suggests that one of them try to name a card and is amazed to find the spectator is right on her first try.

At this point, sensing the spectators are unimpressed, the magician explains that he has made what he considers to be an improvement to the system by adding a few extra marks to certain cards, and that these marks can only be sensed by certain "gifted" people. Believing the spectator who correctly named the card to have this instinct, he hands them the deck with the request that they look through the deck and just remember any card they see. Taking back the deck, the spectator names their thought-of card and the magician retrieves it from the deck. Turning the card over it is seen to have a bold black mark depicting the number and suit of the card!

Explaining that since some people have trouble seeing the mark he has taken this one card from another deck and the rest of the cards are turned over, revealing all blue backs!

This is repeated with the second card...then the third...the fourth...and finally the fifth!
With the turn of each card, it seems more incredible!

NO Moves or Sleight of Hand!
NO Forcing or Multiple Counts!

The magician's card is ALWAYS tabled before the spectator's

CardToon 1

This is quite possibly the most charming card trick ever invented!

A spectator names any card (no force). You then reveal that the entire deck has little stick-figure magicians drawn on it.
Then, to the general delight of all onlookers, the end of the deck is flicked, the cards rush by one at a time, and the drawings become an animated cartoon!

The stick-figure magician pulls a card from his top hat and turns it over to reveal that it is the same card that the spectator named!
This can be repeated immediately with any card as many times as you like. It’s one of those rare tricks that’seven more amazing the second time you see it, yet there are no difficult sleights required. This one is destined to become a classic!

(With revised (simplified) instructions by Mike Danata!)

It's the perfect marriage! A stunning card trick and beautiful illustrations in the specially printed book. It makes a magical, & charming story. And it's from the mind of Bill Goldman, creator of the wildly popular trick, Monkey in the Middle.

The spectator shuffles some cards. The magician shuffles some cards. The cards are shuffled together in a haphazard manner, some face up & some face down. NO ONE could influence the haphazard manner in which the cards are mixed by the performer & the spectator.

Then the story of Little Bunny's Card Trick is read by the spectator. Little Bunny knows exactly how many cards are face down in the packet! And he knows how many of them are black & how many are red. Little Bunny however makes just ONE mistake! spectators are led to believe that perhaps little bunny wasn't so clever after all!! However when the page of the book is turned over, it is seen that little bunny knew of the apparent mistake all along!! for even the mistake was predicted in the book!!!
There is no sleight of hand involved in Little Bunny's Card Trick. The spectator handles the cards, reads the story and amazes everyone in the room without prompting or management from the magician.

Supplied complete with detailed instructions and a gorgeous full color book that looks like it came off the rack at Barnes & Noble.

The "Bunny Book" is now conveniently pocket-sized at 4.25" x 5.5", making it a perfect walk-around effect!

Comes complete with book, plus our own revised instructions, by Mike Danata, (making it so simple to follow, even a child would understand) use ANY pack of cards! The trick is so easy to do & VERY VERY baffling!

Every time we demonstrate the effect in the studio, it results in a sale!

An enchanting effect for both young & old alike!

A deck of cards is shown blank on both sides.
The magician talks about how cards are printed - not by printing presses, but by magic.

At the magicians command, a card appears - but it only has a face but no back!
Then the magician "prints" a back but no face!.
Finally the magician shows what a deck looks like that a magician has completely printed by making all the cards have both faces and backs!

But a magician can always control the printing on the cards and with the snap of a finger they all turn blank again!

The magician takes "two" decks from his pocket and sets them on the table - one deck is REAL and one deck is INVISIBLE!
Ask a spectator to pick any card from the imaginary invisible deck, a completely free choice.
Ask the spectator to name outloud the card they chose.
The visible deck is then removed from the box and spread out face up to reveal one face down card in the face up deck.
This card is turned over, it is the freely selected card.
Easy to perform miracle deck effect!
Bicycle Poker deck.

A U.F. Grant Invention!

A pack of cards is shown and separated into two piles.
The cards are fanned and shuffled face to face so half the cards are face up, and the other half are face down.
The spectator then takes any card that is face up and places it anywhere in the deck face down.
The cards are shuffled again and when the deck is spread out on the table, all cards are back face down - with the exception of the face up selected card!

No skill REQUIRED!
Bicycle Poker deck

The magician tosses a deck of cards to any volunteer in the audience and relates that earlier in the day he had a premonition. He asks the volunteer to simply name any card in the deck-he has a completely free choice. The magician continues to explain that after his premonition he removed one card from the pack and placed it in his pocket.

The spectator himself then removes the cards from the case and counts them out, looking at each card's face. He gets all the way through the deck and finds there are only 51 cards, none of which were his named selection! The performer reaches into his pocket and removes one card...the spectator's selection!
No pocket indexes, roughing fluid, adhesives, short cards, deck switches or sleight-of-hand, the ingenious deck does it all for you
The deck is in the spectator's hands before the effect begins and the magician never touches the cards
Any of the 52 cards may be named
Comes complete with the very special deck of cards and fully-illustrated instructions.

NFW! by Gary Freed If you have to ask what the name stands for, you haven`t seen it done! Effect: You display a packet of four face up Jokers. As you count through them, one Joker turns face down. As you count through again, another turns face down. The effect is repeated with the next two cards, until all four are clearly seen face down. But...when the cards are turned over, they have somehow become the four Aces!NFW is a devastating and revolutionary twist on twisting, it just doesn`t get any cleaner than this!Comes complete with the necessary cards and detailed instructions.
