Collectors - three audience members each select a card and return them to a shuffled deck. Magician introduces 4-of-Kind (e.g. Kings). Cuts them face up into the deck and they trap the three selections interlaced between them.
Ricardo - you will probably need to gather all the plots together and list them every so often in this thread since it will become cumbersome to wade through all the posts to see if a particular plot was already discussed. |

Seems to me that this list could be reduced quite a bit by eliminating "plots" such as card-to- wallet that are really just special cases of the "magical relocation" plot. Otherwise you would have to list every possible sort of object (e.g. can of soup, Kleenex box, pint of ice cream, blueberry muffin, etc. etc.) as a different "plot". If the card-to-impossible location effect is one item on the list, would a group-of-cards-to-an-impossible location be a new plot in the master list? Without any clear criteria for defining what counts as a different plot, the list will become extremely long with lots of essentially minor variations on a theme. For example, the "Appointment in Samara" effect by Darwin Ortiz seems to me to have some distinctive characteristics that would qualify it as a unique plot, but others may disagree. Darwin says its related to Guy Hollingworth's "The Cassandra Quandary" in "Drawing Room Deceptions." Yet these seem like very different plots to me.
Magically yours,

Wow, thanks guys, I never thought I would get that many responses in such a short time.
Compilation of the effects posted up to now in (almost) alphabetical order: ACAAN (Any Card At Any Number) - A spectator names a card, another spectator names a number between 1 and 52. The selected card appears at the chosen number, as the cards are being dealt. Ace Assembly - the magician easily locates and produces the aces from a shuffled deck (without looking) ACR (Ambitious Card Routine) - A chosen card is inserted in the middle of the deck and reappears on the top of the deck multiple times. Cards across- a number of cards vanish from one location to appear in another location card fusion - two cards fusion into one. Card stunt - the magician performs a stunt with a playing card, like throwing it in an arc or doing a pretty flourish (hey, this one is not really magic… maybe XCM? But this is not what I’m interested in…) Card under glass- Classic bar trick where a selected card appears repeatedly under someone's drink. Card to Impossible Location - card is lost in the deck and reappears somewhere impossible, like inside a lemon or under a cup. ***Note: as wisely pointed, lots of effects fall into this definition. However, I think each variation of this wider definition should be on this list. But, please, don’t make up effects like “Card to noodle cup” or “Card to car tire” just to make a funny post. I think only existent effects of this kind should be in this list. And I think each one should be described separated, because for me, “Card to Wallet” is different from “Card to lemon” or even from “Card to sealed envelope”. Card to Wallet - A chosen card is lost in the deck and reappears in the magician's wallet. card to pocket- a selected card is found in the magicians pocket card to ceiling- a selected card sticks to the ceiling Crad Warp -- Card turns inside out Chaos to order - such as triumph / shuffled deck back to new deck order Collectors - three audience members each select a card and return them to a shuffled deck. Magician introduces 4-of-Kind (e.g. Kings). Cuts them face up into the deck and they trap the three selections interlaced between them. color changing deck - the color of cards/the whole deck changes. do as I do - amazing coincidence (e.g. finding matching cards) while the spectator and the magician follow the same procedure. Factory Misprint - transformation theme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTil8OomC_4 Fortune Telling - the cards are used as a reading tool to divine personal details or make future predications Gambling demo - the magician demonstrates a range of sleight of hand techniques for cheating and gambling The Haunted Pack - One or more chosen cards are found as the deck becomes animated and cuts itself. Hofzinser ace problem. A selected card is returned to the deck, four aces are shown and the ace of the sane suit as the selection turns face down, giving a cult to the identity of the selected card. Finally, the ace transposes with the selection, leaving the selected card gave down among the other 3 aces, and the ace being face up in the deck. Lie detector - the spectator read cards from a deck and the magician can tell when he lies. Linking Cards -- "Rings" torn from one or two cards link Magical appearance (Cards from thin air) - the magicians hands are empty, yet he seems to pull card after card, even whole fans of cards, from thin air Memory feat - the magician remember the order of a shuffled deck with amazing speed. Monte- 3 or more cards are mixed, and spectator is told to follow one specific card. The spectator, when asked where the specific card is, will always tell it is the wrong card. Multiple selection- Several people select cards, they are found each in a fancy, flashy manner. Pick a card, find a card - a card is selected in one of a hundred ways, is lost in the pack, and is found by the magician in one of a hundred ways Prediction - a card is named, or written down, then a card is selected and the selection matches the prediction. (I don’t think prediction per se is a plot, but is part of a plot) Off Balance transposition - selection transpose with such as the four aces Oil and Water - Red cards and black cards are put together in alternating order, and after a magical gesture, the colors are separated. OOTW (Out Of This World) - The spectator is able to separate the cards in reds and blacks, by dealing them, face down, from a shuffled deck. Locating 4 of a kind, or all of one suit Open Prediction - The magician shows a card which is the prediction of the future selection of the spectator. The spectator then is asked to go trough the face down deck, turning every card face up, until he "feels something" and choses to let the next card face down. Then the spectator keep dealing the cards face up, until the end of the deck. The face down card is proven to match the prediction made by the magician, which was known to everyone before the dealing. Open Travellers - variation of the cards across plot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1I6TlPjYIpE Reset- 2 Packets, each of a 4 of a kind transpose. 4s change to Jacks, and then back. The Rising Card - One or more chosen cards rise from the deck. Sandwich routine - The chosen card appears between two or more 'helping'/sandwich cards. Shuffle Bored style effects. Cards arev mixed face-up into facedown and the magi correctly pridicts the number of face-up cards, the number of a certain color, suit, etc. Spectator cuts to the aces - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zwoj3S92uPo Thought of card - a card is though of by a spectator, the magician reveals that card someway Torn and Restored - a card is torn up, then magically restored Transformation - a card is selected, lost then an indifferent card is produced. The indifferent card then turns into the selected card, often in a visual manner. Transposition - Two (or more) cards change places. Trapdoor Card -- Topological effect where card turns over while spectator holds it Triumph - A chose card is lost on the deck. The deck is shuffled, half of the cards face up and half face down. The chosen card is found to be the only face up card in a face down deck. Twenty-one card trick -- after interminable counting of the same cards, entire audience disappears! (I’ve seen a good variation of this plot fooling some magicians. So, it could be a trick better than you think…) Twisting type of effect- Cards held in hand, usually a 4 of a kind turn face up or down. Sometimes a kicker with one or more of them changing to different cards, or different backs. "Sam the bellhop" type card trick - the magician construct a story using all the card in the deck. signature transposition - a signature move from one card to another. Spelling card - a card is found by spelling it, counting one card per letter. weighting of the cards - the magician determine the number of cards in a pack by weighting it. Wild Card - transformation theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TMYyDuz_zA X -through Card - an object is impossibly pushed through the card, which is then restored |

Signed card to sealed card box is an important variation on card to impossible location.
