Dear Mr. Lorayne,
I borrowed Nick Trosts book from a friend and gave it back to him. But I remeber the title was something like "Nick Trost on the Muleshoe Gambler". So it was clear that it was his special version of that already known trick. Nick Trosts routine uses gaff cards. That surely is nor surprise to anyone. I made the cards myself, so I use different values of cards. Here is my routine: 1. I display a fan of five single cards - 10S, 5D, 10H, KS, JH. One card (5D) is put away and one card added afterwards (JS). 2. Now I should have two pairs, but can magically display a full house: 10S, JS, 10H, JC, JH. One card (10H) is put away and one card added afterwards (QS). 3. Now I should have only three of a kind left, but magically I can display four of a kind: 10S, JS, JD, JC, JH. a third card is removed (JH) and a third card added to the fan (AS). 4. Now I should have three of a kind again, but magically I can display a royal flush: 10S, JS, QS, KS, AS I act as if I did not understand poker really well when I gambled that game. So the audience tells me that the cards have transformed - I ask them if my cards are good... http://www.zauber-ei.com/zauber-ei-pages......m=jul-11 Kind regards Kai Abrell |

Thanks, Kai. Seems like the same as the original, except necessitates gaffed cards. I guess the reason is that it'd be a bit difficult to do the necessary moves with jumbo cards. Best - HL.

Nick Trost describes all his effects with standard playing cards. I looked for some effects that could be performed with jumbo cards. Several effects with gaff cards are suitable. With jumbo cards it can be hard to hide extra cards. Gaff cards work perfectly. And small packet tricks are also fine with jumbo cards because no complete pack is needed.

'ULTIMATE Cartes folles par Jean Pierre VALLARINO' - does anyone know if this is available anywhere - I'd prefer English translation as my French is poor to say the least. Thanks

In my opinion one of the most amazing packet routines is waving the aces by Guy Hollingworth. It really seems to take the twisting the aces theme to the next level and to the level after that!
Sincerely yours, Jonathan |

I think Marked Again by Jerry Somerdin is one of my favorite packet effects...4 cards turn face down, then change color, then have the name of each card printed on the back! Genius!

One person mentioned it much earlier, but Cardboard Chameleons by Daryl is a work of art. It is interesting, ever changing and leaves you clean at the end. It's also not at all difficult. It doesn't read especially well with all the false counts obvious to magicians, but done well I think it is one of the all time best packet tricks. (I'm in the middle of learning it, it's fairly easy to do, but as I get older it just takes longer to learn the routine). Maybe I should take a load off my mind and stick to say, Rising Cards. Anyway check out a beautiful rendition of Cardboard Chameleons here:

I've been performing Darwin's Jumping Gemini and variations of Doc Daley's last trick to extremely favorable reactions for over thirty years. Jumping Gemini, however, for all that time has been my go-to effect if I'm asked to do a trick.
A recent favorite is Steve Dobson's Otherworld Poker Hand in which the backs of a four-of-a-kind change twice. |

In my unbiased opinion the best are:
Ultimate Oil and Water by Anthony Owen http://tvmagic.co.uk/catalog/product_inf......s_id=124 and Miracle Monte by Andy Nyman and Anthony Owen http://tvmagic.co.uk/catalog/product_inf......ts_id=34 I'm very proud of them both. You can get them from the folks at TVMagic.co.uk or your favourite Magic Café sponsor can pick them up from Murphy's Magic Supplies.

Love how this forum is unashamedly used by some people to plug their own stuff!
Maybe, if the aforementioned tricks WERE THAT GOOD, others would be recommending/reviewing them on your behalf? Personally, I've never heard of either of them - nor, in this instance, can I even be bothered looking.

Mr. Owen's tricks are not that unknown. I think I recommended Ultimate oil and Water. Take a look at the videos. They are very clean.

Lots of great packet tricks for sure as you see here. For me of late (and I'm mostly a coin guy, so take it easy on me), I've enjoyed Re-Flipped, The Daley Last Trick and B'Wave, can't go wrong with any of them on ya. And I'll tellya, do it with style and presence and B'Wave is very hard to beat. Not hard to do for magic that is hard to beat IMHO, it's really that good a packet trick.
And this really is a miracle...I was just in Bermuda over the weekend and a guy did Miracle Monte and it blew the entire bar away at the Hamilton Princess one night. Anthony, man both those effects are really good and Miracle Monte is just wicked man, WICKED! Excellent effects and worthy of real recognition here.

There is one blindingly obvious discrepancy, coupled with some 'one card'(?) handling that looked anything other than natural. Also THREE repetitive phases of "here's a red card, here's a black card, here's a red card, here's a black card?" Jeeeeezus, wake me up when it's all over! We've clearly got a very different interpretation of the word 'clean' fella in relation to card material! Give me a version using ungaffed cards WITH A KICKER any day of the week......e.g. Paul Gordon's 'Fry them with Oil & Water'. Just my opinion obviously.

Just to add J.C. that I checked out Mr. Owen's posts for the last 30 days.
He has made just three - ALL of which concern either himself and/or his own products. As I said before, I've got no time whatsoever for people simply using this excellent forum for nothing other than their own self-promotion and financial gain. That surely ISN'T it's purpose. In fact, it's really cheap and tacky; and says more about the person than their magical creativity ever will.

This is funny, as to me there's usually way too much turning or twisting to card tricks...It all looks suspicious to me. Not sure what you're doing, might not know the name or history of the move you're using, but it's clear to see that you did something and in most cases the cards can't be examined. I appreciate the magic but to be honest a lot of it, where cards are turned around and switched and twisted, etc. I find quite monotonous and off the track as to what should be a much immediate motivation as to the magic. The guys that are really smooth at it can make it look seamless and doesn't wear the spec out trying to follow along but most I believe the specs just respectfully follow to the trick's end, subconciously in suspect of all that turning and twisting.
Regardless, I still like card magic and agree with Merc here on ungaffed cards or either quicker display gaffed tricks like NFW or Doubleback that finish in great enough amazement to kill any such suspicions from monotonous/clearly shifty movements.

Ouch, I just remember this one (how can I forget it?): Incauto Tramposo by Pepe Carrol. What a wonderful trick!
