When spectators say "this pro uses the k*ycard method, the same that uncle Harry also uses", then the pro is in trouble. However, being a pro, his effect should be so much different from uncle Harry's that spectators won't notice the k*ycard method. Moreover, uncle Harry knows three card tricks at the most, and he never lets you shuffle the deck. Whenever he asks you to pick a card, he will find it the exactly same way as before. Professional magicians can use the same methods that hobbyists do, but they have to du it much better. BTW, professional musicians performing for paying audiences use the same methods that auntie Elisabeth does - only much better. |

If we need more uncles to play the piano, is a totally different question! ;-) Sorry for the rant... back to topic: In German, the "Handbuch der Magie" by Jochen Zmeck, a standard work in magical basics, describes several card tricks which follow the k*ycard method. |

No matter how many times you say the wrong thing, it will NEVER be right.
If I'm not responding to you? It's because you're a TROLL! |

Hmmm... That would certainly be a good way for it to cheat, Wrayn. But let's stick to the topic. Mine uses 88 k*ys.

Very cool. Seems like a lot of magicians play music. You aren't, by any chance, married to a woman named Elisabeth who does magic tricks?
Well, this is fun, but I suppose we should save the airwaves for people who want to list more keycard tricks! |

Steve Beam Semi-Automatic Card Tricks Vol 9 Good Loser is a great effect. The entire chapter titled The Losers is filled with cool K C effects.

Just viewed "Lightweight" on Paul Gordon's Live at the Table. A card weighing effect.

Gotta say, I've been loving Roy Walton's "Lucky Seven" that is in Karl Fulves' The Chronicles.
The key card principle is well hidden and deceptive since the deck is constantly being shuffled. Scott. |

I've been enjoying Jack Parker's "Done Burying" since I got his book a couple years ago - a "card at a number" type effect, but with a bit of a card change, too. Nice trick I will always like doing.
A got an old Tally-Ho deck out of the drawer the other day and was surprised how well it faro's, so I went through "Expert Card Technique" and can't beleive I missed "Double Less One" all these years. In the book it's used for a single card location, but four-of-a-kind or a good poker hand works just as well. I do an in-the-hand faro and the key I use is a br*****r, but the ease of handling is great. It's set for a four handed game, but with a little more work you can obviously let someone choose which of the four gets the winning hand. It's certainly a trick I'll be doing from now on, it's lots of fun. |

Devestation by Geoff Williams/Docotor Jones by Atlas Brookings and emotional reaction get my vote
