It's excellent for Scotty York's "Surprise Stab."

How about matrix? You cover the four small cards, with 4 jumbo coins. Now THAT would be a reverse matrix!

There is an effect called "Fasten-ation" by J.K. Hartman published in the 1983-84 winter extra edition of "Richard's Almanac". Besides the mini cards it uses a mini stapler. Spectator shuffles a mini deck and selects any card from the deck. Without looking at the face, the card is "marked" by stapling it in the middle of the card. Magician takes a regular size deck and begins peeling cards from the top of the deck asking the spectator to drop the card on top of any card. Once done, the mini card is turned over to reveal it's face with the comment "wouldn't it be amazing if you placed your mini card on top of the regular size matching card." Spectator is asked to remove the mini card only to find it now stapled to the regular matching card!
I just purchased a mini deck yesterday to give this effect a try. It sounds good. (BTW - at the time this was published in "Richard's Almanac" J.K. Hartman was working on a book called "Famous Last Words". This effect was also to be included in the book.) |

Paul Harris has a version of his Bizarre Twist where the card the spectator holds instantly becomes mini-card while they hold it. The trick instantly resets and is perfect for walkaround. I know he put it out in one of his tapes, but I'm sure he has it in a book, too.

Harris's trick is called Bizarre Shrink and it can be found in the AOA book set. It is a very visual effect. The spectator is literally holding a full size card, and it instantly shrinks in his hand. It's great!

In David Acer's "Natural Selections", there's a cute trick called "Mini-Fusion".
A spectator selects a card from a regular deck. Upon trying to return it, the deck has shrunk to a mini-deck. Since the magician hasn't seen the card yet, he tries to find its equivalent in the mini-deck. He tries once, and fails. He tries again, and fails again. He observes that if you add the two cards together, you'd get the spectators card. Taking this as inspiration, he taps the two mini-cards together, and they fuse into a regular size duplicate of the selected card! |

I do a trick called: "A Big Card Trick"
Effect: The Magician removes the 2 jokers from the deck of cards and after showing them front and back places them off to the side. A spec selects a card remembers it and returns it to the pack. After a few wrong geusses, all of whch help build to a uniquely funy climax, the correct chosen card is revealed - in the form of a minature playing card- from in between the 2 jokers.. I found this trick in some old magic book... Cant remember which one..
I like cards.

Miniature Mysteries with Cards, compiled by Barbara Walker, Magic Limitedl 1980, is an incredible historical (18th century to last century) anthology of effects.

Check out diminishing returns by Mike Powers. at http://www.mallofmagic.com
This effect is great. The card is selected and the rest of the deck shrinks in your hands (no deck switch) The large card is returned to the mini deck. Then in your hands the mini deck returns to size and the selection shrinks to a mini card. Finally the mini card is removed from the deck and instantly and visually it returns to normal size. Very cool. I do an Alice in Wonderland themed routine with it. "Eat me!" "Drink me!"

I like the business card idea. I love the creativity here. I think the mini-cards are fun too, probably partly because you don't see them everyday. How about inviting a younger child onstage and doing a routine with two decks you have a regular size deck and they have a "Kid-sized" deck?
It would also be quite interesting create a trick using an oversized deck, a normal sized deck, and a mini-deck. You could invite a child to help, Then and adult that gets the regular deck, but then since you are the magician, you get the really big cards.

Josh Jay did a fantastic effect where he cuts the deck into 4 piles, makes the 4 kings appear face up on each pile, and then turns them into mini kings with barely a wave of his hand over each pile. It's beautiful, yet I don't recall the name, or where the lecture notes can be found.

Hey, I found the answer to my own question in the post above. NO, Cardiographic is not the same as The Impossible Miniature Card Rise (IMCR). Cardiographic does not use miniature cards. There're two totally different effects. Martin Lewis teaches you how to make the IMCR in his CLOSE-UP MIRACLES DVD.

Effect: A deck of cards is removed from the case and spread in the hands. Spectator names any card. As the deck is squared it instantly shrinks to half the original size and the selected card is the only card face up in the face down deck! Instant reset Custom made gimmick No card forcing Sold quite a few to Hank Lees, Brad Burt and a wholesaler. I have another version, my actual original idea I am putting out soon. The originally released trick was more of a good sight gag...the new one is more of a routined trick (effect above) I LOVE these little things, to bad there are not a few gimmicks available
