Eleven magic-packed card routines that range from nearly self working to knuckle busting monsters. There is something for everyone, along with full credit to all of the sources that went into developing these routines. You're bound to discover some new tricks you'll love.

Flash Cyclic Location

A number of cards are randomly chosen from the deck and their values fed into a calculator, and that number is then multiplied by a number taken from a die mentally rolled by your spectator. The sum total is then located by the magician. This effect subtly applies a fascinating mathematical principle to make a semi-automatic trick seem like a staggering display of card control.

Nice Tri Sweetie Pie

Two spectators sign two different cards, and a third spectator writes the date on yet another card. In one magical moment all three cards fuse into a single card which can be given away. This is a great alternative to the anniversary waltz for when you have no gaffs but still want to leave the audience with a real miracle.

Redivivus Revisited

A novel take on a classic packet effect- Twisting the Aces. Using any four of a kind and a genuinely surprising ending where the fourth card vanishes from the packet and reappears in the middle of the deck.

Direct Ace Cutting

Three different spectators cut three different packets, and everyone has cut to an ace. It's fast, powerful, and easy to do. A great effect as an opener whenever approaching a table of three people to get everyone involved in the magic.

Rise-Rise-Rise Coda

The classic Marlo effect of Rise rise rise is a beautiful and methodically ambitious card effect. Nancy has experimented with it for years. In this lecture she shares with you her thoughts on this effect and how she turned it into a multiphase face up ambitious card that is as rewarding to learn as it is to perform.

21st Nervous Breakdown (w/ Dan Feltey) and 2112 (w/ Ben Huizenga)

The Twenty-One Card Trick is Nancy’s favorite card trick. What other magicians view as a children's trick for lay people to perform, she views as one of the most beautiful effects in all of magic. In this lecture she teaches two variations of this trick that not only deconstruct and shuffle up this classic effect, but will get you as excited about it as she is.

The first, 21st Nervous Breakdown, deconstructs the essential characteristics—both methodological and aesthetic—of the Twenty-One Card Trick; inspired by Marlo’s work in Twenty-One Card Trick Streamlined and the corresponding introductory essay. Developed with Chicago magician Dan Feltey, this method is abstracted and remixed beyond recognition.

In the second, 2112, the mental selection matches with its mate in the remainder of the deck. Developed with Chicago magician Ben Huizenga, this method uses negative information and Lennart Green’s fractal processes in an unintuitive way to accomplish the effect.

Hofzinser's Suit Selection

The spectator cuts off a small packet of cards and selects a card from that packet. They memorize the suit of that card. Magically the packet of cards the spectator cut off transforms from random cards into all thirteen of the suit they chose.

Henweigh

A selected card appears between to jacks. As the magician puts away the selected card it reappears between the two jacks. A second and then third card appears between the jacks and are placed on the table. The jacks are placed back in the deck and when the tabled cards are turned over the cards removed from between the jacks were the jacks themselves. This trick catches you audience completely off guard with it's surprising finale.

Snowflake Assembly

Four kings gradually travel from packet to packet and assemble into a final packet. This challenging effect will teach you some new and exciting moves that you'll add to many of your own packet effects. This one takes some work, but you will have a lot of fun learning it.

Untitled 3 of Clubs Trick Variation

The magician openly places a card on the table and has a spectator name their favorite card, the card is turned over matches the card they named. A second prediction is placed on the table and the second spectator names their favorite card. The prediction transforms into the first spectator's selection, and the first selection is revealed to have transformed into the second spectator's selection. A third card, chosen by the spectators then magically appears between the original two selections. Based on the 3 of Clubs Trick by R.W. Hull, this is an opener Nancy has used for years to establish herself at a table and also get huge reactions.

Earth, Sky, Stars

Out Of This World is arguably one of the most popular card plots in magic. Nancy will be sharing with you her approach to out of this world which starts with just a couple of cards, then a small packet, and then the entire deck. The audience is able to correctly divine the color of every single card in the deck, making no mistakes, building to an astonishing climax. This routine mixes multiple methods with psychology that gives the audience no way to back track to the secret.
