A diabolical switch that allows for the seamless and constant change of cards dealt onto the table.

Switch one card or many cards, cause cards to visually change, force cards, and more. The Flux Deal is great for mathematical tricks, gambling demonstrations, and transpositions. The possibilities are endless!

The deal is not only imperceptible, but indistinguishable. With practice, the switch will even fool you.

Leap of Faith is a beautifully constructed piece of visual card magic by David Regal. It has all the elements that make for a good card trick including presentation, misdirection, and sleight of hand. The effect is straightforward; a card magically travels from one place to another. If you didn't get that, David makes it even more clear in the video. We love how both the effect and method take use of the kings. Check out Kevin Ho's Fourgasm for a great way to start the trick off.

In this trick, the performer introduces two decks of cards, one red and one blue. After shuffling his deck, a spectator is asked to name any card. The performer takes the two red kings from his pack and drops them on top of the spectators deck. Instantly and without the performer even touching the spectator’s cards the freely named selection appears in between the kings! The performer offers to do it again, only this time the spectator removes their red kings and drops them on top of the performer’s deck. Miraculously a card appears in between them! For a kicker finale, the spectator’s selection disappears from the performer’s deck and appears in the middle of the deck they have been in control of the entire time!

The T Change from Jeff Prace is a stunning color change that's surprisingly easy to do. Additionally, unlike similar color changes, the T Change doesn't leave a reversed card in the center, so you're left completely clean. From an ordinary deck, a card is turned face up and inserted into the center. Without any cover, the card visually morphs into another. It's simplicity is magical and the T Change is a great way to reveal a selected card regardless of your skill level.

Culling cards is an essential technique for the serious card expert and there are many methods available. Of these, David's Cull is one of the very best.

A visual color change performed under impossible conditions. A face-up card is secured to the top of the deck under a rubber band wrapped tightly around the cards. With a snap of the band down onto the card, it instantly changes. Not only can you see it, you can hear it change too! Click is extremely visual with nothing to suspect. Use it as a color change, revelation or ending to an ambitious card routine. The possibilities are up to you.

With no hands, threads or magnets, a deck mysteriously cuts itself to the exact location of a spectator’s card. If that isn't enough, the magician may then command the card to be pulled from the center by an invisible force. With all eyes on the deck, this moment will leave your audience screaming. The secret is a versatile new gimmick you won't want to be without. It's undetectable and allows for everything to be handed out with literally nothing to find. Although the gimmick may be purchased at your local drugstore, you are welcome to purchase a supply from us.

Visually change a playing card into something else of value, like a spectators selection. Flow Change is Valdemar Gestur's unique version of a classic color change in card magic. The difference? This method ends completely clean. The best part, it's extremely easy to do!

Several years ago we introduced you to Pixel, the visual masterpiece from David Jade that has since become one of our best selling tricks. Then came Trigger and now Valdemar Gestur is back at it with Trixel. In hindsight, Trixel is the reverse effect to Pixel. Instead of causing a selected card to leap to the top, free from the rubber band, you trap the selection with the rubber band after wrapping it around the entire deck moments before. The effect must be seen to believe!

In honor of the 10 year anniversary of The Penumbra magazine, we're privileged to present this effect published in the first issue. For a decade now, King Brand has been a favorite trick of ours. Visually dynamic, the effect couldn't be simpler: The deck is removed and only four cards are presented, the two red Kings and and the two black fours. With one pair sandwiched between the other, they visually trade places under impossible conditions. The plot builds in three phases with the final trasposition happening in a spectators own hand.

The Anti-Faro is a groundbreaking discovery and a singular leap forward into the design and construction of effects utilizing the faro.

Four Jacks are counted between your hands as they seem to visually change into the four Aces. PCP was inspired by our very own Sixty Nine and is another great four-card revelation by Kevin Ho to add to your repertoire.

A metamorphosis of a single playing card without any sleight of hand whatsoever. The Mysterious Hofzinser Card is a 19th century miracle developed by the great Austrian magician, Johann Nepomuk Hofzinser.

Instantly produce four face-up cards as a display of skill or a dynamic introduction to an effect with this insanely awesome revelation from Kevin Ho.

Instead of single cards switching places, like TiVo 2.0 for example, Chris has come up with a diabolical way to make a pair of cards change places with a single card! Even better, right? It looks like trick photography so don't blink or you'll miss the magic.

Within the explanation Chris teaches two variations, one of which is 100% angle-proof so you can use it in any situation! You’ll also learn two extremely useful sleights that can be applied to countless other routines.

A collection of two effects beautifully condensed into one routine. Think Stop is a powerful cold-reading effect that requires very little skill.

From a shuffled deck, instantly know what card your spectator is thinking of. Then, without looking at the card, cause it to rise from the deck.

A unique twist on an old Harvey Rosenthal idea where two jokers appear around a thought of card. In this method Paul Wilson not only predicts the thought of card but causes it to vanish.

In hindsight you achieve two effects in one, both a prediction and vanish of a thought of card.

Similar in concept to Autocatch, this effect will fool your friends into thinking that you can actually "scoop" a chosen card off the table with superhuman pinpoint accuracy between two face-up cards.

Michael's modern take on the old school Rising Card trick is great for both the beginner looking to dabble and the lazy professional. Although the method is easy, the effect stands strong.

After accidentally causing the wrong card to rise from the pack the magician magically changes it into the selection. Almost no sleight of hand is required and you end clean with the selection protruding from the middle of the deck.

Trigger is a stunning and surprising effect that looks like trick photography. The solution is impossible to reconstruct, yet seems fair and is easily achieved.

After a card is shuffled into the center, the deck is wrapped tightly with a rubber band, sealing the card within. At your command, the band passes through the entire deck with the exception of a single card, which shoots out from the center for a dynamic and visual effect.
