Hello:
I noticed Meir Yedid has a jumbo version of the Princess Card Trick (7 x 11 inch cards). I think this could be a fun piece that involves the whole audience: Show the cards. Tell all the kids to think of a card, but tell them not to tell me or anyone else the card. One card is removed, and then cards are spread to show each child's card is gone. Then move on quickly before they have much of a chance to compare thought-of cards, etc. I know this trick has been exposed to death via the internet, but I think it has much potential for a fun, short interlude piece. Anybody care to comment? What do you think? Ron |

No problem, Ken. But how do you think this will play for a group of children? I think I will do this as a real quick routine while a child helper signs a silk for another routine. Seems like this will be perfect to use during some dead time.

I think it would play great for kids, over the age of about 7 or 8.
Not a heavy piece but, as you say, Ron, a quick interlude. |

Face cards seem to work so well because there are 2 identifiers, the value and the suit. What if we had Jumbo cards with a colored circle in the center and a number on the corner?

Thanks for the input. I just ordered the set today from Hocus Pocus. The set should be here in a few days, and I'll give a quick review, if anyone is interested.
I just love things like this: quick, angle-proof, play big-packs small. I think it's going to be a nice little addition to my show. Ron |

Hello All:
I received the Jumbo Cards today and they are beautifully made. If anyone has the Jumbo B'wave the cards are very similar in quality, but a tad nicer! They are a bit on the expensive side - $65.00. I'm looking forward to doing this; I will post my experience soon. Ron |

I have been doing a version of this since 1991. Had my own jumbo set made and it kills.

What kind of backs do they have? Are they Bicycle cards?
