True, but in my mind this is the sort of discussion that should occur in the Secret Sessions. That's precisely why we have that section.

Two tricks using gimmicked cards that I enjoy performing are...
Amaso - as performed by Daryl in his Monte series. Can't think of the name, but it is on ETMCM, vol 6 (I believe, its been awhile since I've referred to it). You have 3 cards spread in your hand. You begin to move your hand in a circular patter and slowly, the bottom card "visually" (well, almost!) moves to the middle...and then back. (Off topic, but I just learned "Mockingbird" from Max Maven's Parlor vid - incredible. Not gimmicked cards, but my excitement was just too much to contain! ;^) ).
My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".

I like the S.S.D.J. Lie Detector by Robin Robertson in Aldo Colombini's Impromptu Card Magic. You take a packet of cards out of the deck to help you find the spectator's chosen card. You ask the spectator if the card was red or black, and you spell out one card for every letter of their answer. They can lie or tell the truth, but regardless, the card you spell to is the correct answer for the card that was chosen. The cards answer a few other questons before actually turning up the chosen card. It's a very clever trick.
One that I just learned (meaning I haven't tried it on anyone yet)is A Potent Presage by Jack Carpenter. From a shuffled deck, you pull out three prediction cards. The spectator decides where to divide the cards into several piles. You show them that they divided the cards at the mates of your three prediction cards. But wait, there's more. You show that you left a seven of spades in the card case as another prediction. Oddly enough, the three cards right next to the mates of you other prediction cards are the remaining sevens. It would be a great trick even without the kicker. Quote:

Shufflebored (Aronson) is self-working, even if you need a little preparation.

For gimmicked tricks, I perform Ricochet and Twisted Sisters.
Ricochet is a great version of Paul Harris' Reset. It is especially a mind blower if you can perform the Asher Twist. Twisted Sisters can be performed as a mentalism act and as to this date I have had amazing reactions from my audiences. For self-working tricks I perform Shuffle Bored, Overkill and Gemini Twins. |
