Hoorah for an idea :D

I've tested this, numerous times, even the way it's not supposed to be done, and it's worked flawlessly.


This is my own effect.

The spectator takes the deck at the beginning of the trick, the magician never touches it again throughout the entire trick. The spectator thinks of any card, pulls it out [without showing the magician] to verify its existence and then proceeds to cut, shuffle, etc. to lose the card in the deck. The magician instructs the spectator to place his/her hand on top of the deck, and start to imagine squeezing the card out of existence, squeezing the deck, imagining the card disintegrating into nothing.

The spectator is then free to look through the deck, to find that their card has vanished, the magician never touching the deck.

Um....That can be easily done with doublesided tape....

[Ian]

I've realized this -.-

For anyone who hasn't done this yet, I highly recommend doing it. Properly placed double side sticky tape is all that's needed =D.

I got a better idea:

Let them pick a card.. Memorize it, and freely looses it in the deck and shuffles it. You grab the deck and give it a shuffle, or whatever.. Tell them to look through for their card. But they wont find it.. its in ur pocket.. can be signed..

That's been done before, on national television actually, but oh well.
There's quite a few possibilities of building upon the basic idea of the effect.
