In an effort to stop magicians showing us the same boring card tricks over, and over, and over yet again, we the Association of International Magical Spectators proudly present the following:
NOW you too can produce an endless variety of state-of-the-art card tricks with our UNIVERSAL, ULTIMATE, MULTI-PURPOSE
CARD TRICK GENERATOR. The method is simplicity itself. Merely read this page and each time you come to a multiple-choice box select a single item from those offered. The result will be...
a unique card
(Note: U.K. to U.S. translations and alternate dealers' descriptions are given after "/".)
To start A/an
deck/pack of
size
cards/pasteboards, or a
forcing deck/pack, or marked
readers, or a stacked
cold prearranged/set-up, or just a
novelty deck/pack.
Then switch/ring in/ring out/hand muck/exchange them for an ordinary deck/pack of
cards/pasteboards. Ask a
to
a card/pasteboard. Tell him/her/it to
and replace the card into the deck/pack. Do a
shuffle and execute a
cut, followed with a/an
sleight/move/ manoeuvre,
all the while controlling the selected/chosen/lost
card by means of
or using a key/locator/control/master/pilot/tell tale card such as a card/pasteboard. Bring the chosen card to the top by means of a
move/sleight/action/technique/manipulation/ruse. Adequate misdirection can be provided by doing a false/switch
count, or by
cards from
the deck/pack (an alternative handling would be to take out a
device/prop/apparatus/paraphernalia). For the finale/pay-off/ climax conclude by discovering/locating/revealing/divining the lost/selected/chosen card/pasteboard. This is easily done by or doing something from
Hofzinser/Erdnase/Andrews(?)/Leipzig/ Marlo/Vernon/or our latest book available
from your favourite dealer.
