I'm looking to find an effect I have recently seen performed. The spectator takes a (random) stack of cards from a giant deck. He fans them out and the performer then calls out each card and the spectator is asked to hand over each card named. This is done for all the cards of course with no mistakes.
Does anyone know? |

Without knowing more details of the routine, it sounds like a rather weak presentation using a common gimmicked (Jumbo) deck. See the "Jumbo Kozar Deck" from Camirand Academy of Magic for one such product.
Otherwise, you could produce your own using ideas from the book "Marked For Life" from Kirk Charles. Richard Osterlind has a fantastic variation using an ungimmicked deck (per se) within his blindfold act published in Dynamic Mysteries. |

To KevinHall: Sounds like an effect in Larry Becker's Book Two - World of Super Mentalism, page 1, titled Psi - Stebbins, published July 1979.

Although a great deal must have been left out of KevinHall's description, it very well could be Psi-Stebbins. A fine effect.

According to legend (or the book about him), Chan Canasta used to let people get stacks of cards froma deck just to later name which cards each person held. He did miss several in the whole process aparently and only guesses have been made as to how he accomplished this feat.
It required a stacked deck of course and a good mind for estimation, memorization and perhaps a bit of luck. -Alain Bellon |

Allan Ackermanns card effect "Impromptu Paul Fox" has a similar effect but with four spectators that have a group of cards in their hands. The performer calls out all the cards. This routine its extremely amazing but very hard to do! You can find this routine in the video; The Allan Ackerman Video, Vol 1.
This is a monster killer routine |

A similar, perfectly effective, but embarassingly easy version of this effect is in Banachek's Pre-Thoughts manuscript.
For simple but devastating handlings of the multiple-participants-holding-cards variation, I'd direct you to Barrie Richardson's version in Theatre of the Mind, or Princess Plus One in Koran's Professional Presentations.
