Non "Pick a Card Effects" with a regular shuffled deck

Postby neil_the_newbie » Apr 15th, '16, 06:18



I feel I have a respectable selection of Pick a Card Find a Card effects but I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction for effects that aren't "Pick a card - Find a card" type of effects with a regular shuffled or borrowed deck. So far I have:
Cards Across, Out of This World, and 3 Card Monte. Any recommendations or resources would be welcome. :D

Thanks in advance!

There's a whole chapter on this kind of effect in Henry Hay's "Amateur Magician's Handbook" (the title of the chapter is "give them a rest"!). It includes two classic routines that aren't in your list - Four Ace effects and Ambitious Card.

Royal Road is chock full of effects that fit the bill.

Thank you both! I think I need to revisit The Royal Road.
