203. SPONGE BALL FROM SCREEN....................51

1.THE DIMENSIONALIZER!

Your kit comes with an incredible trick that appears to squash any item you

put inside ﬂat! Before you can use this awesome prop, you will need to put it

together. First, carefully fold the Dimensionalizer into a box shape. Now, with

the door on top and the door pull facing away from you, fold the left side in to

close the side of the box. Next, take your two rollers and push them into place

in the ﬁgure-eight-shaped hole on the side panel. Make sure that the end you

push into this side is NOT the end with the gears! Finally, fold the other side in

and over the gear end of the rollers (making sure the holes in the end go over

the knob at the end of the top roller) to hold everything in place. Your

Dimensionalizer is now ready to use!

2. LONG CARD!

This is a great trick to use in conjunction with your Miracle Deck! First, put

your long card into the Dimensionalizer with the Three-of-Hearts side slightly

in the rollers. Next, you will need to use your Miracle Deck to force a Ten of

Hearts (please read the Miracle Deck section to ﬁnd out how to do this) on a

spectator. Once you’ve forced the ten of hearts, place the entire deck into the

secret compartment at the top of the box. You are now going to turn the

handle on the side of the box until the Three-of-Hearts are cranked out of the

rollers. Ask your spectator if their card was the Three-of-Hearts. They will

naturally say that it is not, so turn the crank a little until a fourth heart is

showing. Now ask if their card is the Four-of-Hearts. Continue in this manner

until you’ve reached the very end of the card

which reveals the Ten-of-Hearts. Now, pick the

box up by the holes on the sides and ﬂip the

box open (with the lid side facing you) and

show that the deck of cards has vanished! Take

the long card and turn it over, showing all 52

cards printed on the back. Say that you’ve

always known which card your spectator

would pick since it’s the only card that is

turned over!

3. THE PHLAT PHONE!

In addition to your long card, you will also ﬁnd a long, ﬂat cellphone card.

Begin by putting this card inside the box with the bottom end slightly inside

the rollers. During your show, ask to borrow someone’s cellphone. Place the

phone in the secret compartment at the top of the Dimensionalizer. Now, turn

the crank and the long card will slowly come out of the rollers, giving the

appearance that you are squashing their phone! Flip the box open to show

that their phone is gone! Be sure to return their phone to them later!

4. THE PHLAT PHONE PREDICTION!

Another great way to use the cellphone card is to use your Miracle Deck to

force a ten of hearts on a spectator. Next, borrow their phone and put it into

the secret compartment of the Dimensionalizer. Now, crank the cellphone card

out of the rollers. Turn the card over and show the spectators the ten of hearts

symbol on the back of the phone card! Flip the box open to show that, once

again, their phone is gone!

5. THE INCREDIBLE PUZZLE CUBE!

In your set you will ﬁnd a solved puzzle cube, a shell that looks like a

scrambled puzzle cube that covers the puzzle cube and a black box with a lid.

Do not scramble the cube unless you know how to also solve it! Before your

show, put the scrambled cube shell over the solved cube and place it opening-

side-down on the table. To your spectators, it will look like a scrambled puzzle

cube! Pick up the cube and show it all around, on all sides EXCEPT for the

bottom—you don’t want don’t want your audience to see the solved side of

the puzzle cube! Now, take the box and turn it upside down, pushing it over

top of the shell and cube. Turn the box with the opening side slightly toward

yourself and cover it with the lid. Now, give the box a quick shake up and

down. Remove the lid and tip out the puzzle cube. The shell will stay stuck

inside the box, giving your audience the impression that you’ve solved a

scrambled puzzle cube by simply shaking it up and down!

6. THE PUZZLE CUBE PREDICTION!

That’s not all that you can do with your puzzle

cube and box! Your puzzle cube can do two

great tricks without the shell! Hand a spectator

the cube and the box/lid and tell them to put the

cube into the box with any side facing up. Have

them put the lid on the box, then hand the box to

you behind your back. Turn around to face them,

but keep the box in your hands behind your back.

Tell them that you will now try to read their mind.

Behind your back, move the lid from the top to the front side of the box. Now,

bring the box out making sure that the lid is uppermost and the open side is

facing you. You will now be able to just glance at the opening and see what

colour they picked. Make believe you are still trying to read their mind before

naming the correct colour!

7. THE PUZZLE CUBE PREDICTION X 3!

Once you’ve done the above trick, take the cube out

of the box and hand the cube back to the spectator.

You are going to do the trick the same way, but tell

them this time you want them to turn two of the

ends on the cube so that three colours are now

facing up on the cube! Make sure they don’t actually

scramble the cube, you just want them to turn two

ends of the cube so that there are three, coloured

stripes facing up on the cube. Perform the trick as you did above, this time

revealing all three colours the spectator chose instead of just one!

8. PUZZLE CUBE PREDICTION PROFESSIONAL ENDING

You can actually hand the box right back to your helper without them ever

knowing that you were looking through an open side! After you tell them the

name of the colour they selected, put your right thumb over the open side

covering the cube. With your left thumb and ﬁngers start to take off the lid as

you rotate your right hand forward. This brings the open side upright. Now

fully take off the lid and present the box and the lid to your helper to inspect!

9. THE SECRET GIMMICK

The secret gimmick looks like a little plastic thumb

but you can use this sneaky device to create some

absolutely astonishing magic. The tip is worn on

the end of your right thumb when you are going

to perform your effects. It should be snug on the

thumb but your thumb should not go all the way in. There needs to be a space

between the tip of your thumb and the end of the thumb tip to allow objects

to be hidden inside. When wearing the thumb tip never show it directly to your

friends but, instead, keep it hidden behind your ﬁngers. If kept in motion the

very tip of the thumb tip looks just like a real thumb!

10. THE VANISHING SILK

Stick your thumb with the thumb tip on it into the top of your left ﬁst and

quickly withdraw your thumb, leaving the thumb tip hidden in the top of your

left ﬁst. Now immediately start to push a silk (15.24cm ) into the top of your

left ﬁst, using your ﬁnger. Push the silk all the way into your ﬁst and for the last

push or two use your right thumb. On that last push you will secretly stick your

thumb silk in the thumb tip on your right thumb. Do not look at your hands

when you do this. Instead look directly at your friends! You can now open your

hands freely, to show that the silk has disappeared! *If you don’t have access

to a silk, you can use an ordinary tissue.

11. THE LAST PUSH

Poke in your right ﬁrst ﬁnger as you did before but this time move the opening

of the thumb tip backwards so that it is sticking out of the back of your left

ﬁst with the left ﬁngers keeping it against the left palm. Keep the back of your

hand to your friends so that they can’t see it. Now tap the top of your left ﬁst

with your right hand ﬁngers and, as you do so, let your right thumb enter the

thumb tip from behind and remove it from the back of your ﬁst

12. RETREIVING THE SECRET GIMMICK

After the vanishing silk trick, instead of ditching the thumb tip and silk into

your pocket, you can make the silk reappear from your left ﬁst. After you show

your hands to be empty, close your left ﬁst once again and stick your thumb

into the top of the ﬁst. With your right hand make a magical pass over your ﬁst

and then using your right ﬁngers and thumb, start to slowly pull the silk out

of your ﬁst. Under cover of the silk you are now holding with your right hand,

casually stick your right thumb back inside your ﬁst and retrieve the thumb tip.

You can then casually place your hand in your pocket and ditch the thumb tip.

13. A FUN REPRODUCTION

After you have vanished the silk say, “It must have gone somewhere! Let me

look up your sleeve!” With your left hand, hold your friend’s wrist at the end of

their sleeve. Now put your right hand against their sleeve so that your ﬁngers

are uppermost, covering your thumb. Your thumb (with the tip on it) goes into

their sleeve. With your left ﬁngers grip the thumb tip (through the sleeve) and

drag out the silk by removing your right thumb. Once the silk is free, put your

right thumb back into the tip and release their wrist.

14. THE COST OF A SILK

Have a coin in your left hand pocket. As you go into your routine put your

left hand into your pocket and hide the coin in your hand at the base of your

ﬁngers. Keep your ﬁngers curled inward so that when you remove your hand

from your pocket the coin stays hidden. Now vanish a silk. The only difference

will be that you have a hidden coin in your left hand when you put the thumb

tip there. At the end, the silk will be in your thumb tip and the left hand will just

contain the coin. Say, “Do you know how much that silk cost me at the magic

store?” Whatever they say open your hand to show that the silk has gone and

there’s just the coin!

15. VANISHING WATER

Your thumb tip can vanish lots of other things for you. It can even vanish a

small amount of liquid. If you do this effect do it over a bowl or sink and not

over an antique table! Load the thumb tip into your left hand then pour in a

tiny amount of water making sure it goes into the thumb tip. Secretly remove

the thumb tip just as you have done when vanishing the silk then open your

hand to show that the water has completely vanished!

16. FREEZO

If you can hide a small ice cube in your hand (just as you did with the coin

earlier) you can really make your friends think you are a human ice machine.

Keeping the ice cube hidden in your left hand do the vanishing water effect

above but don’t open your hand yet. Say, “I have ice cold blood and can prove

it by freezing that water into ...” Open your hand to show the ice cube and

ﬁnish by saying, “... a cube of ice!” You can also get a realistic looking piece of

plastic ice at most party supply or toy stores.

17. THE SKYLIGHTER WAND

Your Skylighter Wand has a small button on one of the white tips. If you press

it, the opposite tip will light up! This will allow you to do some amazing effects

with your deck of magic cards! You can also use it to accentuate your magic

by pointing it at your tricks and causing it to light up!

18. THE CLINGING WAND

Put the wand onto your left palm and hold onto your left wrist with your right

hand. Secretly stretch out your right ﬁrst ﬁnger so that it can hold onto the

wand. You can now hold your left hand with its back to your audience, and the

wand will appear to be sticking by magic to your hand!

19. THE PROFESSIONAL CLINGING WAND

Just in case any of your friends know the

above stunt, you can really fool them

by performing the trick in an even more

bafﬂing way! To do this trick you must set

up a few things before your show. The ﬁrst thing you will need to do is get a

couple of rubber bands and place them slightly above your wrist. Then put a

pencil or chopstick under the rubber bands, with the tip end facing your palm.

The bands will hold the pencil or chopstick in place. Don’t worry, these props

will be hidden by your sleeve! During the presentation of the effect, secretly

stick the middle of the wand underneath the tip of the pencil or chopstick as

you place it against your palm. Again, if the back of your hand is towards the

audience, the effect is totally magical. After the effect, you can push the tip of

the pencil or chopstick further up your sleeve to completely conceal it.

20. THE WOBBLY WAND

If you hold the wand at one end very lightly between

your ﬁnger and thumb and shake your hand with an

up and down motion the wand will wiggle up and

down. This wiggling will produce a very weird optical

illusion that the wand is made of rubber! Show this to

your friends, then drop the wand to your table where

it will land with a solid “clonk.” Now it will appear your

wand has become solid again!

21. THE APPEARING WAND

A great start to your show is to magically produce your

wand. To do this, you need to get a small box (a card case

is perfect) and cut a hole in the bottom of it. Now have the

wand partially up your sleeve with the other end of it going

through the hole into the box. Hold the box so that your

ﬁngers are at the front and your thumb behind with the

back of your hand towards your audience. They will only see

the box and not the wand. Say, “Do you know what I keep in

my box?” Whatever they say open the box and slowly pull

out the impossibly long wand!

22. THE AMAZING ROLLING WAND

Put your wand onto a table and claim that you have amazing magnetic ﬁngers.

Point to your wand and it will “magically” roll away from you across the table!

Of course you don’t really have the power to do this (unless you are a real

magician!) so you have to help it a little bit. You do this by secretly blowing

towards the wand as you point to it!

23. MIND LIFTER

To do this great effect you’ll need your wand, a bottle

and a thin black thread. Before your show, attach the

thread to one end of your wand and tie the other

end to one of your shirt buttons. Make sure that the

thread is long enough to allow you free movement

(about three feet is enough). During your show, put the

wand into the bottle with the end that has the thread

attached going in ﬁrst. Stand back from your table until you feel that the

thread is tight. Now by secretly pulling on the thread by leaning back a little,

the wand will rise from the bottle. By leaning forward it will drop back into the

bottle! Since the thread cannot be seen, it must be magic!

24. THE PSYCHIC RING

Using your thread set-up, but with a shorter thread, you can

make a borrowed ring do an amazing effect! Hold the wand

with the end that the thread is attached to upwards. Borrow a

ring and drop it over the wand. Now by tightening the thread

(by moving the wand away from you a little), the ring can

be made to raise up the wand in a very weird manner! By

relaxing the tension on the thread, the ring will drop down

again!

25. WAND THROUGH CUP

Hold a cup between your ﬁngers and thumb, and tap your wand inside against

the bottom of the cup. Now quickly push the wand behind the cup so the

wand looks as though it goes through the bottom of the cup! Quickly pull the

wand out and show the cup to be unharmed.

26. DEPTH ILLUSION

Put your wand into a cup, but lean it back with the tip being at the front

bottom of the cup and the rest leaning against the back rim. From the front it

looks as though the wand is just measuring the depth of the cup. Now mark

where the wand touches the rim. Stand the wand next to the cup and the

mark will be signiﬁcantly higher than the height of the cup, proving that the

cup is bigger inside than it is outside!

27. NUMBERED WAND!

You can use your wand to discover a number that has just been thought of by

a helper. To do this you will need, along with your wand, a clock or a watch.

Ask your helper to think of any number from one to twelve and to remember

it. Say, “I am now going to tap my wand against the numbers on the clock. As I

do this I want you to start with the number you are thinking of and add one to

it each time I make a tap. So if you are thinking of nine, you would count ten,

eleven, twelve and so on each time I make a tap. When you reach twenty, call

out “Stop!” Make your ﬁrst seven taps on any numbers. On your eighth tap

you must tap your wand on twelve. Now continue tapping numbers in order

backwards around the dial (eleven, ten, nine, eight and so on). When they call

out, ”Stop,” you both may be astonished to ﬁnd that the wand is right on their

number!

28. THE AMAZING MP3 PLAYER!

Don’t open the box yet, but look at the back end.

With careful examination you’ll ﬁnd that the back

end of the box slides across just a little bit. This

sliding action controls a secret inner drawer that

allows you to make magic! Slide the back panel

over, then open the box and put a pair of earbuds

(or any small item you like if you don’t own

earbuds) inside. Close the box, then slide the back

panel to its original position. Open the box and the earbuds you placed inside

have vanished! That is because they are now hidden in the secret drawer!

Close the drawer and pretend to press some buttons on the “MP3 player.” As

you do this, slide the back panel, then open the box and your earbuds appear

magically! Of course, when you slide the back panel back and forth, you

should do so in a casual manner so that audience doesn’t see you doing it!

29. THE FIRST SECRET OF YOUR MIRACLE DECK

Look at your deck carefully and you’ll ﬁnd that it

consists of twenty-four ordinary cards and twenty-

six Ten of Hearts (plus 4 bonus cards). Start by

putting any one of the ordinary cards face down on

the table, then put a Ten of Hearts (ten of hearts)

face down on top of it followed by an ordinary card

and so on throughout the setup. Make sure that

a ten of hearts is always on top of the face down

deck and an ordinary card is at the bottom of the

deck before starting an effect! The duplicate ten of

hearts are all shorter in length than the other cards!

Hold the deck and rifﬂe your thumb along the top

as shown in ﬁgure one. You’ll ﬁnd that the cards

will fall in pairs. If you rifﬂe the cards face down all

of the cards will look different, but if you rifﬂe them

face up they will all look like the ten of hearts!

30. THE SECOND SECRET OF YOUR MIRACLE DECK

After setting up your deck, you’ll ﬁnd that you have four extra cards: a card

with all 52 cards printed on one side, a Five of Hearts with a “glow” at one end,

a Ten of Hearts with white hearts and an “exploding” Ten of Hearts. These cool

cards will allow you to do some cool effects with your Skylighter wand! Put

them to one side for now.

31. THE ASTONISHING PREDICTION

On a piece of paper, write “The Ten of Hearts” and fold it up. Ask a helper to

hold it in their hand. Rifﬂe through the deck to show that the cards are all

different. Now rifﬂe through the deck again and ask them to say “Stop,” at any

time. As soon as they call out “Stop,” you should stop rifﬂing and allow them to

take the top card of the (lower) rifﬂed off pile. Have them memorize this card,

and then put it back in the same exact place, put the rest of the cards on top

of it and close up the deck. If done correctly, the deck should be in the same

order you started with. Ask them to name their card. They will say “The Ten

of Hearts!” Ask the spectator to open the paper to see that your prediction is

correct!

32. THE ASTONISHING PREDICTION FOLLOW-UP

After you do the ﬁrst trick take the top ten of hearts off of the deck and then

turn the deck over so it is now face up. You will see one of the ordinary cards.

Put the ten of hearts on this card as you say, “I can make every card match!”

Now rifﬂe through the cards holding the deck face up. Each and every card

will look like the ten of hearts! You have changed every card to match the

prediction, which will have your audience gasping!

33. THE MIND BLOWER

Just as you did in the Astonishing Prediction effect, rifﬂe through the cards and

ask them to say, “Stop.” Tell them to take the card, look at it and remember it.

Have them put it back in the same place, then put the rest of the cards on top

of it and square up the deck. You will now cut the deck by gripping the long

ends of the deck. This is very important because it keeps the long/short order

intact! Now reveal their card by saying, “Your card always jumps to the top,”

and show the top card to be the ten of hearts!

34. ANOTHER REVEAL

Here is another way to reveal their card. Start to deal through the deck. Take

one card at a time and drop them onto the table. Ask them to say, “Stop,” at

any time. Keep track of your dealing because every other card you deal is

their selection so whenever they say “Stop” their card will either be on the

table or on top of the deck. Wow! No matter where they call stop you have a

sensational revelation of their card!

35. WHAT IS YOUR NAME?

After your helper has chosen a card (ten of hearts) and returned it to the deck,

square up the cards. Ask them to think of a name. It can be any name at all!

Pick up the deck and ask them to spell the name that they have chosen. As

they spell the name you deal one card for each letter, face down, onto the

table. If the name they have chosen has an odd number of letters, then the

last card you deal will be the ten of hearts. If it has an even number of letters,

then the card on top of the deck is a ten of hearts. Either way, if you have

kept note of the number of letters dealt, you can show that they have spelled

directly to their card!

36. LUCKY NUMBERS

The working here is just the same as the above effect but with a slightly

different presentation. Rather than ask for a name you can ask them instead

if they have a lucky number that they use when picking lottery tickets or

whatever. What’s nice here is that you immediately know where your ten of

hearts will be before you start to deal! If they name an odd number, it will be

the last card dealt and if they name an even number, then it will be the card

on top of the deck, after the dealing is completed!

37. GETTING A DATE

If they don’t have a lucky number or you want to try another variation of this

effect, then ask them if they have a date that is important to them. Ask them

to add the four digits of the year of the date together and use that number.

Personalizing the number in this way makes the effect much more powerful

than just having a number randomly selected!

38. STORY TIME

Top magicians often take this idea to extreme limits! They will make up a story

involving the spectators name, favourite pet and other information they ask

them for. They would then deal cards on the names of the objects as they tell

their often, very amusing story. At the end of the story the last card is turned

and shown to be the ten of hearts, the chosen card.

39. CARD TO POCKET

Take the “exploding” ten of hearts card

and put it into your pocket. Rifﬂe through

the deck as you have done with the

previous tricks in order to force the ten

of hearts. Have your helper memorize the

card and put it back to the same place

in the deck. Now close up the deck and

make a magical gesture over the cards

and claim to have made their card vanish. Slowly rifﬂe through the cards face

down as usual and of course their card (ten of hearts) will not be seen. Now

take your Skylighter Wand and tap your pocket. As you tap your pocket, press

the button to make the tip light up. Tell the audience, “I think the wand is trying

to tell me something.” Reach into your pocket and pull out the “exploded” ten

of hearts and say, “I guess my magic wand is more powerful than I thought!”

40. CARD TO WALLET

This is just the same as above, but put the 10’s into your wallet. If you have a

compartment that can be sealed or zippered, up put it in there. After you have

vanished the chosen card reach into your pocket and pull out your wallet.

Say, “You never really know where the card will go when it has vanished but

sometimes I get lucky and it goes straight for the money!” Remove the card

from your wallet and the reaction will be incredible!

41. THE MAGIC CHOCOLATE BAR

Get a chocolate bar and put a ten of hearts from the top of your deck into

the wrapper along with the bar. Now during your show, you can bring out the

chocolate bar and hand it to your friend. As before, have a card chosen (ten

of hearts) and returned to the deck. Then have it supposedly vanish from the

deck. As before, rifﬂe through the face down deck to show it is gone. When

they open their wrapper, they will be utterly amazed to ﬁnd that their chosen

card is inside!

42. CARD IN ORANGE

Push a pencil into an orange to create a hole through the middle. Be careful

not to push the pencil through the other side! Now roll up a ten of hearts and

push it into the orange. Do this secret preparation before your show! You can

now reveal at the end of the effect that their card has been magically

transported into the orange by cutting around the outside of the orange and

pulling it apart! Younger magicians, please get an adult to cut the orange open

for you!

43. PROFESSIONAL CARD IN ORANGE

To really make this look extra special, carefully remove the stem from an

orange and make your hole there. After pushing your Ten of Hearts into the or-

ange, you can now use some rubber cement to glue the stem back into place.

Now the orange can be shown freely before opening it!

44. MAGICIAN’S CHOICE

Place an orange in a bowl with an apple and a banana. Now ask a spectator

to choose a piece of fruit. If they choose an orange, proceed as normal with

the trick. If they choose an apple or banana, put that piece of fruit aside and

say, “Okay, we won’t use this piece of fruit.” Then ask them to choose another

piece of fruit. If they choose the orange, proceed with the trick. If they choose

the other piece of fruit, put it to the side and say. Now we’ve eliminated two

pieces of the fruit and all that’s left is the orange. Then use the orange to do

your trick. This technique is called “Magician’s Choice” and is a way for the

magician to get the audience to choose exactly what he wants them to!

45. CAPPED

Carefully uncap a soda bottle and drink a small amount. Now roll up a ten

of hearts and push it into the bottle. Using the eraser end of a pencil, ﬂatten

out the card inside the bottle as much as you can so that it looks as though it

could not have gotten into the bottle. Now recap the bottle. After showing that

a chosen card (a forced ten of hearts of course) has vanished from the deck

you can bring out the soda bottle and ask somebody to uncap it for you. Pour

the soda into a glass and reveal the selected card inside!

46. BACKED UP

Before your show, stick a ten of hearts to your back with some tape. Have a

card selected and returned to the deck. Now pretend to have problems ﬁnding

it, then turn as if to leave. When they see the card stuck to your back you’ll get

a big laugh!

47. PICTURE YOUR CARD

Get a small picture frame and put a ten of hearts into it. Keep the frame in

your pocket. Have a card picked and returned to the deck and then say, “I

want you to picture the card you selected in your mind so that I can read your

thoughts!” Bring out the picture frame, but lay it face down on the table. Show

that their card has vanished from the deck. Turn over the picture frame to

reveal their card inside!

48. EYES OF AN EAGLE

This effect will convince your spectators that your eyes and memory are at

Super Hero level! Have a card selected (force the ten of hearts). Tell them not

to look at it, but to just put it into their pocket. Quickly rifﬂe through the cards

while staring intently at them. Now put the deck down and say, “There’s one

card missing from the deck and if I’m right, it’s the Ten of Hearts!” When they

check the card in their pocket, they will ﬁnd that you are right!

49. REVERSO

Before doing the trick turn over the third card

from the top of the deck (a ten of hearts) so

that it is face up in the face down deck. Rifﬂe

through the cards as usual and get them to

call “Stop” wherever they want. Be careful not

to rifﬂe too far as you don’t want to expose

the reversed card. Have them look at the

card and replace it. Give the deck a cut and

make a magical gesture over the deck. Spread

the cards either between your hands or

across your table to show that their card has

magically reversed itself in the deck!

50. THE SECRET ASSISTANT

This is a very cool effect where you seemingly hypnotize one of your helpers!

Have one helper select a card; of course it will be the ten of hearts. Ask them

to look at it and return it to the deck, but not to tell anybody else the card.

Now turn to a second helper and make believe that you are going to hypnotize

them. After going through some funny gestures, tell them that they have

been hypnotized to see only the card that you want them to see. Now rifﬂe

through the cards to them only, making sure that the other helper does not

see what you are doing. Rifﬂe the deck face up so that they see only the ten of

hearts. Now ask the second helper to name the card that they thought the ﬁrst

spectator selected. Jaws will drop when they name the chosen card!

51. EYES IN YOUR FINGERS

Have a card selected (ten of hearts) looked at, and returned to the deck. Give

the cards a couple of cuts (Remember to cut from the long ends!) and claim

that you were born with a slight mutation; you actually have tiny eyes in your

ﬁngers. Put the deck into your pocket and ask for the name of their card. They

will say, “The Ten of Hearts.” Now reach into your pocket and pretend that the

eyes in your ﬁngers are looking for it. After a few seconds bring out the top

card of the deck to show that your claim was true!

52. PSYCHIC STOP

Here is a very clever variation of the above effect. Perform as above until the

deck is in your pocket and then say, “I am going to take cards one at a time

from my pocket and I want you to stop me at any time you wish.” Take the

top card of the deck (ten of hearts) from your pocket and without showing it,

put it into your other hand. If they don’t stop you at this point, reach into your

pocket and move the next ordinary card from the bottom of the deck and at

the same time take out the new top card, which will of course be another ten

of hearts. Once more, without showing it, place it into your other hand. Repeat

this action until they stop you. Since you have only been removing the ten of

hearts cards, when they ﬁnally do stop you, it will be on their card!

53. CUT IT YOURSELF

Force the ten of hearts upon your helper and have it returned to the deck and

then give the deck a couple of cuts, completing the cut each time. Claim that

you are feeling a little lazy today and you want them to ﬁnish the trick for you!

Put the cards on the table and ask them to cut off a portion of the cards and

turn them face up. Often they will be looking at a ten of hearts. If that happens,

that’s great; the trick is ﬁnished and they will be amazed. If they cut to an

ordinary card, then have them turn over the face down card on the pile on the

table. Either way they cut to their very own card!

54. DOUBLE DILEMMA

For this next effect, you’ll want to set up your deck with all the ten of hearts

face down on top of all the face down ordinary cards. To start the trick, turn

the cards face up and fan them out to show that they are all different. You are

not actually going to fan the entire deck. You are only going to fan the ﬁrst half

of the deck. Now turn the deck face down and you ask a helper to take a card

from the top half of the face down deck so that they must take a ten of hearts.

Now ask another person to take a card, but force them to take a card from the

bottom half where the ordinary cards are located. Ask them to remember their

cards and put the cards back into the deck for them. Put the ten of hearts into

the lower section of the deck and the second card into the upper section of

the deck where all the ten of hearts are! Next look through the cards being

careful not to let the helper see them. You can easily remove a ten of hearts to

put face down on the table, then look for an ordinary card surrounded by ten

of hearts! Lay both cards face up on the table to their astonishment!

55. SUPER STOP TRICK

Once again have the deck set with all the ten of hearts on top of all the

ordinary cards. After casually fanning out the cards to show that it is a

“normal” deck turn the cards face down and have a helper select a card. Make

sure that they choose one from the top half where the ten of hearts are. Have

the card returned somewhere in the top half of the deck and square up the

cards. Hand the deck to your helper and ask them to deal the cards slowly,

face down, onto the table and to stop wherever they like. Since you’ve asked

them to deal slowly they will never go past all the ten of hearts! When they

stop you can reveal that they have stopped at their own card!

56. THE SNEAKY SHUFFLE

A great way to look as though you are really shufﬂing the cards is to split the

deck into two halves. It’s easy to cut between the ordinary cards and the ten

of hearts as there will be a little ledge where the two halves come together.

That’s because the ten of hearts are slightly shorter than the other cards!

Hand the ordinary cards to your helper to shufﬂe while you shufﬂe the ten of

hearts. When you have both ﬁnished put your half back on top of their half and

you are set to go! Now, even though the whole deck has been “shufﬂed,” you

can still perform impossible feats!

57. A VERY AMBITIOUS CARD

Once more, start with all the ten of hearts on top of the ordinary cards. After

showing the deck to be “normal” have them pick a ten of hearts and return it

to the top part of the deck. Do a couple of the sneaky shufﬂes you just learned

and then say, “I have a feeling that you chose a very ambitious card; it always

wants to be on top of the heap!” Turn over the top card of the deck to show

their card. Now push it into the deck somewhere in the top half. Say, “I’m not

kidding; it will always ﬁght its way to the top!” Turn the top card to show that it

has, once more, “returned” to the top!

58. THE GREAT DETECTIVE

Set up the deck as you did for trick number 54, with a ten of hearts on top

of an ordinary card and so on throughout the whole deck. As you learned

earlier, rifﬂe through the deck and force the ten of hearts, and then have the

card returned to the same place in the deck. Give the deck a couple of cuts

and then claim to be a great detective! Look through the cards face down,

peering intently at them as you do so. Claim that you are looking for ﬁngerprint

evidence! Pull a ten of hearts out from the deck and put it face down on the

table. Say, “To the untrained eye this card looks quite normal, but I can see

it’s covered with your ﬁngerprints!” When they turn the card over, you are of

course proved to be correct!

59. EXTRA SPECIAL DETECTIVE

Put a real ink ﬁngerprint onto one of the backs of a ten of hearts. Make sure

that you put this special card third from the top of the deck. You are now going

to force a different ten of hearts card as you rifﬂe down through the deck. Just

make sure you don’t rifﬂe to far as you don’t want to expose the ﬁngerprinted

card. After the forced ten of hearts has been looked at, memorized and

returned to the deck, cut the deck as usual. With the deck face down, pretend

to look for ﬁngerprints as you deal each card to the table. When you get to

the actual ﬁngerprinted card, you can say, “This might be a good clue, check it

out!” Have them turn over the card to see that it is their card!

60. EFFECTIVE DETECTIVE

To really make the above effect more of an entertainment piece, you might

want to add some props. The use of a magnifying glass, for example, to look

for the “ﬁngerprints” adds a whole new level of entertainment to the effect.

You could go crazy and even pop on a deerstalker hat pretending to be

Sherlock Holmes as you go through the cards. Act out the part saying things

like, “Aha! The game’s afoot Watson!” and you turn the trick into a full-blown

piece of entertainment!

61. THE PSYCHIC CELLPHONE

Before your show, have a friend who has access to a cellphone help you out

with the next trick. Tell your friend that he or she will be getting a phone call

asking for The Great Zoltar, the psychic and they are to say to the person they

will be speaking on the phone with “I get a strange feeling that you are in the

middle of a card trick. The card you have chosen is the Ten of Hearts!” During

your show, force the ten of hearts on someone. Then have them call The Great

Zoltar, the psychic (your friend) for an amazing revelation of the chosen card!

This is an incredible effect that can be done anytime, because once you have

let your friend in on the trick, then anytime someone calls them asking for The

Great Zoltar they will know what to do!

62. WEIRD PREDICTION

Have a friend call out any small number and cut your deck into that number

of piles. The top card of each pile will of course be the ten of hearts, but just

don’t let your friend know that. Write the ten of hearts on a piece of paper and

fold it up. Give this to your friend to hold in one hand and say, “I have predicted

the pile you will choose!” Now whichever pile they point to your prediction will

have been correct!

63. A VERY SUBTLE ADDITION

A delightful addition to the above is to ﬁrst write down the name of one of the

ordinary cards as your prediction. Then make believe you have changed your

mind and cross it out and write the ten of hearts underneath. This is a great

convincer that all the cards on the piles were different!

64. THE TRAVELING CARD

Get one helper to take a card (force a ten of hearts) and put it into their pocket

without looking at it. A second helper also selects a card, (force another ten

of hearts) remembers it and returns it to the deck. Ask the second helper

the name of their card and then make a magical gesture over the deck. Rifﬂe

through the cards to show that the ten of hearts has gone! Imagine the shock

when it is discovered inside the ﬁrst spectator’s pocket!

65. EGG TIMING

Along with your Miracle Deck you’ll also need a small one-minute egg timer.

You can get these at most stores if you don’t already have one in your kitchen.

Place the timer down and say, “I’m going to try to do the next trick in exactly

one-minute!” Have a card selected (ten of hearts) memorized and returned to

the deck. Now give the deck a few quick cuts. Deal out the cards slowly, one-at-

a-time onto the table until the egg timer runs out. You can show that not only

are you a speedy magician but that you are correct, as you’ve stopped on their

card! You will show either the card you’ve dealt last to the table or the very next

one in your hand depending on where the ten of hearts is! Just remember that

the ten of hearts will always be an odd number of cards down.

66. THE MEMORY MAN

Have the ten of hearts selected in one of the usual ways and then returned to

the deck. Give the deck a few cuts, then announce that you are going to show

your incredible speed memory technique. Hold the deck up and as quickly as

you can look through all of the cards while pretending to be concentrating hard

on their faces. Square up the deck and then turn it face down and then ask

them to name their card. When they tell you it was the ten of hearts, pretend

to think for a second and then announce an odd number such as thirteen or

ﬁfteen. Now with the cards face down, count one card at a time and drop them

onto the table until you’ve reached the number that you named and then turn

over that card to show them that you are absolutely correct!

67. BOTTOM’S UP

Prior to your show, on the bottom of a soda bottle or any other object write with

a marker the words “The Ten of Hearts.” During performance put an ordinary

card under the object saying that you will use it later on. Now have someone

pick the ten of hearts in your usual way and then returned to the deck. Say,

“Wouldn’t it be amazing if your card was already under here?” Have them lift

up the object only to discover it is the wrong card! You then say, “No, I meant

actually under the object! Take a look underneath!” They look at the bottom of

the object and are amazed to see the words the “Ten of Hearts!”

68. ANOTHER BOTTOM’S UP

Another way to get laughs from this cute effect is to use your 52-Cards-on-

One special card. At the conclusion of the effect you can then adjust your line

to, “I wasn’t sure which card you were going to pick, so I covered all of my

options here!” Then, you can reveal your amazing prediction!

69. DON’T TAKE IT

Since you can force the ten of hearts every time, purposely ask them not to

pick it! Say, as you rifﬂe through the cards, “Please call stop at any time, but

please try not to stop on the Ten of Hearts. That card always tries to mess

up my magic!” Of course they will have no choice but to stop on the ten of

hearts, so when they do, you will say, “We’ll try again, let me repeat that I don’t

want you to stop on the Ten of Hearts!” Repeat this three or four times with

you apparently getting more and more frustrated each time!

70. THE SPREAD TAKE

Rather than rifﬂing through the cards, you can spread the cards across your

table and ask somebody to just touch one. Split the deck at that point and

slide the card they touched forward from the spread. Get them to look at the

card they touched. Since the cards are spread in pairs, this will always be a

force card. Replace the card where they took it from and close up the deck

ready to go into your next miracle!

71. THE BLURT OUT!

Use your Magic Deck to make a spectator pick the ten of hearts. Have them

replace it where they took it from. Casually cut the deck and complete the cut

a number of times. If you do the cuts by putting your ﬁngers on the long ends

of the deck (rather than the sides), you will not disturb the “long/short” order

of the cards. Now rifﬂe through the cards to show that they are all different

and say, “Don’t forget that you chose the Ten of Hearts!”

72. ANOTHER CARD TO POCKET

Take one of your ten of hearts cards and put it in your pocket. Then, force

the ten of hearts and have them put it right back where they took it from.

Tell them you’ve caused their card to vanish from the deck and prove it by

slowly rifﬂing through the deck. Because of the long and short cards, they will

not see their card! Reach into your pocket and bring out their card to their

astonishment!

73. INFLATION

Roll up a ten of hearts and push it into an opaque balloon. During your show,

blow up the balloon and place it to one side. Because the balloon is opaque,

they won’t be able to see the card inside! Have the ten of hearts chosen and

returned to the deck. Make a magical gesture, then rifﬂe through the cards to

show their card has vanished! Give the spectator a needle and ask them to

pop the balloon: their card magically appears from inside the balloon!
