DOUBLE CHAMELEON – You show four blue-backed jokers. A card is selected from a red-backed deck (say the King of Clubs). The jokers all become four red-backed King of Clubs and then go back to being all jokers again!
Stunning
AD LIBITUM – One card is selected and lost in the deck. Nine cards are shuffled "ad libitum" and a spectator picks three of these cards. The sum of the three cards is used to the selection.
This trick features a clever number force. But the effect can easily be done without a number force. I'll just say it is an OK trick.
PRETTY CLOSE TO A MIRACLE – A selected card is located mathematically.
For me, the only new ground covered here is the control, which I am not interested in using. It's a good trick.
SUM TRICK – A coincidence trick involving a very fair procedure. I do not want to give too much away with a detailed effect description.
Clever thinking. Nice twist on “Make the Cards Match” (Howard Adams/Larry Becker).
TELL-TALE DECK – A card is selected. You remove seven cards and with these cards you reveal the selection (say it is the KH) with three questions asked of the spectator. Then, you produce the four Kings!
This spelling trick has a very good finish.
SPELL ALL – A very interesting idea to produce a selected card by spelling the values of all cards.
If spectators copy the actions of the performer, they will get the same results. I think this trick needs a couple of false cuts and/or shuffle. I recommend a false cut or shuffle after the fifth and tenth words are spelled.
According to the ad copy, this trick can be done in any language. I suppose you would have to adjust the number of cards in the deck.
INSTANT SEDAPS – Five cards are placed on the table in this order: Five to Ace. They reverse order.
mildly amusing
TALK TO ME – 'Lie Detector' effect
Good effect. The only negative is you have to count on the spectator to tell you the truth in the beginning.
NEVER SAY DIE – A card is selected and replaced. Six cards are dealt on the table and one is selected by throwing an imaginary die. That card finds the selection!
Pretty solid trick
VIDA PACK, PLUS – The spectator cuts some cards off the deck. He convincingly loses a selection in the portion cut off. The card pro looks through the cards and finds the selection and reveals one other fact.
A strong and truly baffling no-clue discovery
Recommended
