Lee here! I just came back from Washington DC SAM Convention 2013 with this idea in my head.
What if you could do a matrix routine with cards. By that I mean taking four cards a putting them in a square formation (maybe folded). Then each of them magically one by one transport to one corner. How could this work? The only idea I have is (if they were folded in quarters) is to have an extra card. But do you have any other (hopefully better than that) ideas? Magically yours, MagicLee |

Take a card and tear it into four pieces (quarters). Put each piece under a whole card, the pieces vanish one by one and show up under one card, but restored (first half a card, then three quarters). For the ending, instead of the card that was being used as the master card (let's say it was a joker), it is turned over and it is now the fully restored card that had been ripped up, and beneath it are four case quarters (coins).

Michael Ammar has a card matrix routine in his L&L book which involves an extra card and some coins. The coins are only there for misdirection, while the cards themselves travel. very clever. Lynn

The Dingle version first mentioned above was used on TV by David Copperfield in one of his early specials. I think Paul Harris also had a version with torn card pieces.
Not sure, but Vernon's Queen's Soiree may also have been a card matrix with the cards assembling under cover. Another matrix idea with cards is to have the pips move and assemble on one card (an idea first published by Ken de Courcy in Magigram). Ken used a handkerchief for this also. I had a version of this (different method)in one of my early books "The Cheap Close Up Book" in 1984.. Aldo Colombini also later marketed a version. When you think about it, if you're just using apparently for cards to assemble in one spot on the table then you may as well look at an "Invisible Palm" type routine which accomplishes the same thing. When I got back from the Washington S.A.M. convention the only idea I had was to get some sleep. lol. Paul. |

Hi Paul,
I seem to recall that there is a matrix with cards and coins are printed on the faces of the cards. It's a beautiful routine but for the life of me I can't remember its name or who created it! Perhaps you might know? Best, Vlad |

No,Vlad, seen an advert for it but I don't remember who put it out, not too long ago. Though Daryl might have published something with coin pictures on cards in an early Kaufman's Almanack.

Jack Carpenter has a card Matrix on his "All In" DVD. No torn corners. Full sized cards. It's not super hard. Not super easy, either.

That's a great routine in the Derek Dingle book, and what makes it better is Derek's suggestion to start with Card Warp and use the already torn card from that effect to get your starting pieces to segue into the card matrix, reassembling the card by the end. I think I would put folds in the restored card just to give the spectator something to inspect and wonder about. It's a strong enough mystery ending that I would not bother adding the case quarters to it.

This is the Matrix with coins printed on the cards. Hope this helps. There is also a demo video to watch. |

Here's what I do--produce a wrong card, apparently tear it up (you've just top changed it for the right card) and then do Dean Dill's No Extras with the torn pieces, and when you are done, show it to now magically be the correct card, but in four pieces.

Dani DaOrtiz does this as well with complete cards and he also has version where the card is torn up and when doing matrix with the pieces the card also restores at the same time if I remember right. Its pretty much what it sounds to be...

Wouldn't David Roth's Chinese Coin Assembly using folded cards basically do what you need here?
