Shake Change to Selected Card

Method 1
Have spectator select a card. Use the tilt move to seemingly return it to the middle of the deck. Turn over the top card to show the spectator it is not their card. During this you make a break under the card on top of the deck. Place the card you have shown to the spectator face up on top of the deck. Pick up both cards and perform the shake move.

Method 2
-Perform a triple turnover showing bottom card for the spectator to remember.
-Turn the three cards (as one) back over. Take the top card (which spectator thinks is their card) and place it in the middle of the deck.
-Take the next top card and show the spectator and during this you make a break under the card on top of the deck. Place the card you have shown to the spectator on top of the deck.
-Pick up both cards as one using your thumb and middle finger. Perform the shake move.

The Tilt

While apparently inserting a card into the center of the deck at the inner end, you actually insert it into a break beneath the top card, placing the inserted card second from the top.

French Twist

From A Million Card Tricks: Performance/Tutorial and Aldo Colombini

Step 1
-Four aces face up (spades the last one) on top of the face down deck. Get a pinky break under the fifth card, and lift off the five cards as if they were just the four face up aces, placing the deck on the table.
-Hold the five cards in biddle grip and count off the four aces hiding the face down card. Square them up then turn the packed over so they are face down. (Colombini) Peel off the bottom card (ace of spades) with your right hand and as you turn it face up, simultaneously turn the packet in your left hand over. Flick the ace of spades with your left thumb then turn it over the top of the packet. (You now have two face down cards on top of three face up aces).

Step 2 First Ace Reveal
-Do an Elmsley count revealing one ace has turned over. Use the last card to flip the ace over then put it on the bottom of the pack.
Step 3 Second Ace Reveal
-Do a normal Elmsley count to show all the cards are now face down. (Now you have three face down cards on top followed by two face up aces).
-Do another Elmsley revealing a second ace has turned over. Use the last card to flip the ace over then put it on the top of the pack.
Step 4 Third Ace Reveal
-Hold the cards in biddle grip then reverse count showing four cards. Square up the packet.
-Do an Ascanio spread showing the third ace has turned over. Hold the double in your right hand. Square up the cards in the left hand. Turn them over with the cards in the right hand faced up, then place the right hand cards on top. Turn the packet over.
Step 5 Fourth Ace Reveal
-Do a normal Elmsley count showing all the cards are face down. Then do another Elmsley count revealing the ace of spades. Leave the ace of spades upjogged, then spin it out on the index finger of your left hand.
Step 6 All Aces Face Up In Spread Deck
-Show both sides of the card in the right hand and the packet in the left. Use this action to get a break under the top card of the left hand. Place the ace of spades face up on top of the packet while maintaining the break. Pick up the ace of spades and the card beneath with your right hand, then flip over the three aces in the left hand. Place the double from the right hand on top (apparently showing just the four aces). Square up the cards and flip them over.
-Do an Elmsley count showing four face down cards. Do the shake change to turn the packet over. Place all the cards on top of the pack. Cut them into the deck. Spread to reveal all four aces are face up.

Simple prediction trick using Bill Simon's prophecy move with a prediction written on the back of a business card.

JS Magic performance

Dingle No Lap Switch

A method of switching a number of selected cards which have been outjogged from the pack with cards from the bottom.

I first learned the move from the Jay Sankey video Hemispheres where he demonstrates it in the trick Lottery. He (apparently incorrectly) refers to it as the Vernon Substitute Transfer. In actuality, it is the Derek Dingle No Lap Switch.

The move is used in the first part of the trick in this video.

The move is similar to Vernon's Strip Out Addition.

Jazz Aces

Performance and tutorial




Order of Aces top to bottom, face up: hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades.

1. Get a break under the top card of the face down spot cards. Place the face up aces on top, picking up the extra card. Thumb off and turn over each ace one at a time onto the packet. When you get to the ace of spades (double card), place face up on the packet, then thumb it off onto the table. From right to left, place three cards down onto the table as if they were the other three aces. In actuality you put down a spot card, the ace of clubs and  the ace of diamonds.

So this is kind of a cooperative experiment in impossible outcomes.

Now it's pretty amazing that the card I chose and that you selected were both Kings, but it could still be a matter of coincidence. But what can't be chalk up to coincidence is that fact that
