Hello,

I have a growing interest in card tricks that don’t use physical cards ( I..e a deck or a packet). They can either use nothing, non-playing card props, or - perhaps - single cards as a revelation, such as a participant naming a card that is produced from a wallet using an index.

What comes to my mind:
- Stephen Tucker’s Deckless Wonder - Published in Mark Elsdon’s Conversation as Mentalism vol.3
- Ran Pink’s The White Room - separate ebook download
- Psychological forces of course, Docc Hillford’s or Derren Brown’s.
- Cog by Ben Seward - different process to restrict choices and fishing.
- Of course having an index of some kind allowing a revelation after them naming/choosing a card without a deck. What comes to mind are Heirloom with its variations, Kolossal Killer or an index such as the Shadow wallet.
- Simple revelation by a Swami writer on a billet.
- Using the phone as a method or location of revelation. What comes to my mind from my limited exposure to far are Inject 2 and the Stranger apps.

Any additional effects would be appreciated. I’m sure older tricks exist too but nothing comes to mind.

Thanks

- Feras

Bob Cassidy's "Chronologue" is a classic example.

Pocket Space Plus by Tony Miller
Seven by Bryn Reynolds in his book Safwan Papers
Inferno by Joshua Jay

there is loads more but these are at the top off my head. I have a lot of work on this subject, and with a little thought you can combine a lot of these principles and techniques to create your own card divination.
hope this helps

There's been some great suggestions to this exact question over at The Magician's Forum:

White Room is one I have used the most but I've also used

Mental Think Of A Card by E.E

Thank you for the mention of my "7" (or "SE7EN"...or "SEVEN"...or...I've spelled it "SEVERAL" ways over the years...)

It's a pleasure to be included in such a great list of resources for this genre!
