No big deal, but just for the record, I do know the ethics of Magic. There are countless of ways to cull one card, as per Harv's inquiry, I happen to know a number of ways from books and videos but, I still do it my way. I chose to share this as I have all the right. This is a 10 year old cull that I have never seen before up until a year ago from another magician whom I have never met before. If it was not mine, I would not have shared it just like that.
Just wanted to be clear on this.

^ Thank you, Rannie... by the way, I can't get any of the videos on your site (www.raytrix.irio.net) to work?

Also depending on the cull as with all magic you have to have a use for it in order to use it.
The spread culls work well in magic when you spread the deck face up between your hands and you cull cards by looking for a selected card or looking for a four of a kind to do a magic effect with and using the spread cull to bring them under control. In other words you have a use for the spread so in magic it works. The pick up stack or cull from discarded cards works in a card game and perhaps in a card routine where you are demonstrating a poker deal. Again there must be a use. One of the better culls was the Zingone cull in Expert Card Technique and he used it as a way to control 3 selected cards. This was a first in magic giving a cull a magical use. Jimmy Cards Molinari's cull is also a jog shuffle cull and can be used to cull cards to the top of the deck when shuffling a selected and forced card into the deck to lose the card. That is while doing the shuffling to lose the card you can bring four aces to the top for the next effect. A great use for a cull in magic.

Assuming you know the selection (via a force, peek, etc.) then simply spread the cards under some pretext (showing how well mixed they are or... ) and as you spot the card begin to raise the faces towards yourself so the audience can't see them any more.
At exactly this moment split the pack into two spreads so that the selection is on top of one half (or a known number of cards below the top) and gesture with both hands moving outward as you say something to the person who took the card. As they answer, bring your hands together reassembling the pack and cutting the selection to the top as you square the cards and turn them face down. Since the spectator doesn't know that you know the card this action will be just as "invisible" as a spread cull. If the spectator thinks you know what card he took it doesn't matter how well you do a real cull. |
