What self-working card tricks do you like the most?
How's the effect? and any recommendations that where can I learn it?

We should concentrate on the effect. |

Karl Fulves has a series of books of self working card tricks.

My absolute favorite is the "Upside Down Deck" by Francis Carlyle. You can find it in "Scarne on Card Tricks". It's almost like an in the hands double Triumph.

I do like "'Twixt The Devil" by John Bannon from "Impossibilia" and it is selfworking in the spectators hands!

I always get a kick (and a strong reaction) out of Larry Becker's Will the Cards Match. Talk about simple, yet powerful...

I would second John bannons play it straight triumph (almost self-working), If I recall it´s on volume 6 of Michael Ammar´s ETMCM...

Ah yes, self working card tricks. I'll be the first in this thread to say Gemini Twins! It's the first trick in Karl Fulves' More Self Working Card Tricks. I saw the Upside Down Deck trick on Penguin magic as "Do As I Do". I don't know how much it was on the site, but regardless, buying the book is a better investment.

If you get the Karl Fulves "collection", Hugard & Braue's "Encyclopedia of Card Tricks" and Scarne's "Scarne on Card Tricks", you should be set for life!

An absolute killer is "Dead Reckoning" from Dear Mr. Fantasy by John Bannon.

There's an ongoing thread on the same subject here: http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......;start=0
The strongest self-working effect I know is John Bannon's Play It Straight Triumph. I also like the methodologically similar pre-written predicitons using Shufflebored principle. I believe the idea for this revelation orginiated with Ali Bongo, but the most popular and well-known handling today is Paul Green's Jeopardy (which can be learned in his _In the Trenches_ DVD). My personal favorite self-working trick is Rainbow Deck aka Stolen Cards aka Quintiplicate Coincidence. Rainbow decks can be bought for cheap many places, and Lennart Green's presentational take can be purchased for a little more. Among the most cited self-workering effects: Lazy Man's Card Trick (although I wouldn't use the handling described in Lorayne's _Close Up Card Magic_) Untouched - Daryl Blind Luck and Pure Skill - Dan Paulus (marketed as stand alone) Out of this World - Paul Curry (umpteen sources, handlings) Gemini Twins - ? (Fulves' book) Overkill - Mark Wilson Timely Departure - John Bannon (see _Smoke and Mirrors_) Emotional Reaction - Dai Vernon (see _Inner Secrets_?) Impossible - Larry Jennings (L&L used to have a promotion, they probably still do, where you get this trick for free with any purchase over 30 dollars)

It's hard for me to decide which one I like the most because I know so many. My two favorite self-working card tricks books are "Scarne on Card Tricks" and "Magic with Cards" by Frank Garcia and George Schindler.

Ah yes!! Dead Reckoning (John Bannon)... I forgot that one, and second its nomination. I also agree (as usual) with Dynamike on "Magic With Cards" as a tome of near self-working material. Curious though...Cain, what don't you like about Lorayne's Lazy Man? I personally endorse anything associated with Mr. Lorayne. Just curious...
