Basic Technique: How to hold the deck in such a way that you can control it perfectly. This technique is complementary to the Biddle grip, which explains how to hold the deck with the other hand.  

This is the trick where the spectator does the trick himself (in appearance, of course!). He shuffles the deck, cuts it, freely chooses his card, reshuffles the deck after the card has been lost... and it is found at the number he has himself designated! Boris Wild also gives us several variations for revealing the chosen card! This trick is included in the VHS program “Les Etoiles de la Magie Moderne: Boris Wild” (Stars of Modern Magic: Boris Wild), published by Mayette Magie in 1997.

The magician claims to have psychic powers and the ability to see into the future. He places two cards face down on the table: these are his two prediction cards. A spectator chooses two cards: one is picked at random, and the other is freely thought of. The predictions are revealed: they are the twin cards of the chosen cards!

The magician holds a four of a kind in Aces in his hands. The cards magically turn face up one by one at first, then all together in a second step. Then the Ace of Spades disappears and reappears. It is then shown that the four Aces now each have a different back! Everything is handed out for examination.  

A card is chosen and lost. The magician takes out several groups of five cards. The spectator indicates which group contains their card. He clearly shows that he has five cards in his hand, then just as clearly makes one disappear... which happens to be the spectator's card! The card is found face up in the deck! Everything is handed out for examination at the end. To buy: - a regular deck of cards click here. - some single regular cards click here.  

Basically, “Hand Mucking” is a gambler's technique for secretly exchanging one or more cards during a card game. Applied to card magic, these techniques allow you to magically transform one card (or several) into another (or several others). To buy a regular deck of cards click here.  

The magician explains that when he goes to a casino, he “steals” one of the cards and gives it a casino rating from A to Z, which he has marked on the back of each card. He shows that he has a dozen cards, which are thoroughly shuffled face up and face down, both by himself and by a spectator. Five cards are randomly selected by a spectator, who is really lucky, as the cards spell out the word “Lucky”! And when these cards are turned over, they form a royal flush in spades! Success guaranteed!  

The basic effect: The spectator and the magician each think of a card and these two cards end up side by side in the deck of cards. Which is stranger: that the magician's card is next to the spectator's card or the other way around? A disturbing and beautiful effect! In this version, the spectator is free to choose any card from the 52 cards in the deck, and for the climax, the card thought of by the spectator is the only card with a different back! Devastating!

The overhand shuffle is one of the easiest and most common ways to shuffle a deck of cards. It’s an excellent shuffle for magicians, because laymen are already familiar with it and it allows you to do some excellent controls and false shuffles while shuffling the deck this way. Ariel Frailich explains the techniques used, various applications (controls, stock shuffles, false total shuffles, etc.), as well as several tricks in this video, which is divided into five episodes.
