In Jon Armstrong’s Cut Cards, you remove a prediction from the deck and sandwich it between two blank cards. You then invite several spectators to freely name any playing card—no forcing, no equivoque. When the blanks are lifted, the isolated prediction matches their choice perfectly. While it does require solid intermediate card-handling, the jaw-dropping payoff makes every moment of practice more than worth it.
In John Guastaferro’s All in Your Hands, two spectators freely mix and cut two packets of cards into four piles—without you ever touching the cards—and the top cards are revealed, one by one, to be the four Aces. Deceptively simple, entirely hands-off, and lightning-quick to learn, this spectator-cut-to-Aces routine is guaranteed to become your go-to astonisher.
Our members take to the virtual stage to share what they’ve been working on: Joe McNamara’s “Runes of the Goddess Freyja,” Michael Sprowl’s “Cassandra Monday Mystery,” Gary Sager performing a Jamie Doyle mentalism piece, Ed Cardinal’s classic Linking Rings routine, Curt Harpold’s Mastermind debut with Geoff Latta’s “Twist Till It Hurts,” Larry Mota’s Invisible Deal, and Bill Krupinsky’s Elite Cup–winning “Psychic Service.”
A fully shuffled deck is locked inside a wine glass and draped with a handkerchief—and when the cloth drops, the four Aces, one by one, have magically jumped to the front of the pack. Shared by Jim Steinmeyer and Robert Ramirez at CC, this stand-up card miracle delivers massive impact in an easy-to-learn routine your audience will never forget.
