Hello,
I have an effect which winds up with the deck being divided into reds and blacks (as all the blacks followed by all the reds). What suggestions would you make on the strongest trick possible using this arrangement? Cheers, Trent |

Starting from a divided RED/BLACK deck, Simon Aronson explains how to get into his Point Spread stacked deck routine, using one faro shuffle. The Point Spread uses a combination of Simon's Shuffled Bored and the Gilbreath principle to creat a seemingly impossible prediction routine. Point Spread is the first trick in Simply Simon, a book filled with great magic tricks.

As a matter of fact, if you faro shuffle your red/black deck, there are quite a few Gilbreath principle routines you can do!

I like the OOTW idea. My preference would be to do Galaxy, which would mean going from red/black to 13 red/13 black/13 red/13 black. Now I just gotta figure that out!

Thanks edh

Trent, out of curiousity is this your effect or a marketed effect that allows you to end up w/a red black separation? If it's marketed what is the name of the effect?
thanks edh

I'm also curious what trick he's doing. I have one that I use to FRY laymen and even most magicians. It's not mine, but I discovered it in a set of notes about 8 years ago and have worked my butt off to keep it hidden.

If you Faro reds and blacks, the best three tricks in my knowledge are :
Black & Red by John Kennedy. Neithe Blind Nor Stupid by Juan Tamariz. Call to the Colors by Bill Simon. Gibreath trick with reds/black stack : 'Deck Memorization' by Mike Boden in "Cunning Card Miracles". 'Magnetic Color' by Norman Gilbreath in July 1958 issue of "Linking Ring" 'Vernon on Gilbreath' by Dai Vernon in "The Vernon Chronicles Vol.2". 'Second Thoughts on Gilbreath Again' by Roy Walton in "Complete Walton vol.2". 'The Lone Stranger' by Nick Trost in May 1970 issue of "New Tops". 'Color Prophecy' by Gene Finnel in July 1968 issue of "Pallbearer's Review". 'Riffle Shuffle Mystery' by Gene Finnel in March 1969 issue of "Epilog". 'World Apart' by Peter Duffie in "Inspirations".

Edh & pepka, it is an effect of Jerry Sadowitz's which I have modified to come out in red/black order at its conclusion.

Thanks for the reply Trent.
I really think that if you have convinced the spectators that the deck is fully shuffled/mixed. Then do a OOTW effect it would really go over great. I think that's a powerful tool you have their Trent.

Do Intuition.
I follow T.N.T with Intuition for the same reason. This combo kills.

I perform Out of This World and it just floors laymen. It's not a tick I start with, but I throw it in in the middle or towards the end. They love it!

Another effect that ends up that way unknown to spectators is a well known Tamariz effect.

Whenever I manage to separate the reds and blacks secretly, I would perform Pit Hartling's Chaos followed by Juan Tamariz's Neither Blind Nor Stupid (as a more hands-off continuation of Chaos). At this point, the spectators still would be unaware of the divided deck, so I'd close with Larry Barnowsky's Alignment Of Colors. That's just my preference, but you could just as well end with a version of Out Of This World, or even a simple Oil & Water with a few cards and then reveal in the end that the whole deck has also separated. The most important thing is to begin with Chaos and Neither Blind Nor Stupid, because IMO, they work brilliantly together.
