Does anyone know some good marathon card tricks? The only one I know is A Three Card Routine by Derren Brown. Any one know any others?

John
Is this not more of a card set rather than a marathon card trick? Are you looking for things with callbacks? While quite short by comparison, cocktail dazzler by David Williamson springs to mind. Charlie |

Thanks Charlie I'll check that effect out.

I put together a marathon Ace routine, loosely based on a series of Norse legends. The routine has 366 phases, one for each day in a leap year. It takes about 15 hours to perform, and it's synchronized to the music from Wagner's Ring Cycle.
Mercifully, I've never actually performed it.

I briefly considered adding Barry's trick to my performances. Then I remembered I hate Wagner.
So, instead I whipped up this beast of a card trick. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLCQAyPDh......ure=plcp To give it even more gravitas I perform it with over-sized cards. KG |

I thought that was absolutely BRILLIANT Kent! It didn't seem that long as I enjoyed it so much - please make a longer one next time!

Also by Stewart James - "The Robot Deck" I think I counted over 30 phases - some of them really stunning. Its fun if you throw in a lot of false shuffling. I am currently having a lot of fun with this (considering memorizing the stack as my mem deck)

Allan Slaight's "The Eclectic Deck", Ibidem Volume III, page 765.
Effect: With an ordinary deck which is continually shuffled by both magician and spectators, seventeen effects are presented, ranging from sleight-of-hand demonstrations to mental discoveries to a gambling display. The only essential sleights are DL, Hindu Shuffle and false cuts. When reading through it I remember thinking there's no way I'd ever remember the whole routine. I'd be curious to find out if anyone on this forum has actually ever performed it.

Michael Vincent has a couple, all good. One is an ace-focused series that begins with a spectator cuts the aces, proceeds to an ambitious routine, a collectors plot, and ends with his version of Cy Enfield's Aces for Connoisseurs.
The other is a great fasdiu sequence, easily 15-20 minutes of solid card magic; each phase sets up for the next, it's a thing of beauty. Cheers, Luigi |

The Card the Forehead and the Saltshaker is a very nice nine phase routine. It's also a post-graduate course in misdirection. It's by Michael Close. It's in his Worker's books and videos, I suggest both the books and the video to learn the trick as proper timing is essential and it's hard to figure out timing in a book.

He starts talking about the importance of being able to work with a borrowed deck, and then proceeds to demonstrate and teach a long sequence that starts with the selection of a card with a peek, and goes on to include a "numero uno" type approach, then Vernon's matching the cards, etc. Brilliant stuff.

If I feel the need to fill time ie "marathon" I always fall back on an ambitious card routine that can be slammed over and over and over and over with the thousands of revelations avialible to keep it jumping.you can even intermingle the effect with a myriad of tricks that the ambitious card can be a part of making it fall even more into play.
