The Tricks

Do You Remember When
Multiple people are given small packs of cards to shuffle. The cards are then re-assembled and they even get to choose which packets are put back face-up or face-down. You’re left with what seems like a chaotic mess of cards facing different ways. That is until you look closer and see the face-up cards spell out a phone number (or whatever number you want).

Location, Location, Location
Your audience helps you shuffle the deck before launching into a multi-phase routine where each step is more impossible than the last. First, you cut to the four Aces. A card is then selected and you instantly find the three mates. For the final phase, another card is selected. This time though, they get to freely stop you three times as you run through the cards. Defying the odds, they find the other three mates.

Ace Race
A named four of a kind is removed and then lost in the deck as the audience fairly wash shuffles the cards. They then freely select four face-down cards. You can even let them change their minds if they want. These cards are turned over to reveal they are the named four of a kind.

Assembled
Andrew breathes new life into the assembly plot with this fun routine that centers around teaching yourself to cheat at card games. After dealing yourself the four Aces, you explain how this would make it easy for you to get caught cheating. So, to make it harder to spot, you’d need to convince everyone else that the Aces have been split up. As you say this, you deal them into four separate piles among indifferent cards. Your participant can choose one pile. You then make the Aces all jump to the pile in their hands.

Spell That Again
This incredible spelling trick happens mostly in their hands and eliminates much of the process that typically plagues these types of effects. One card is selected and another is peeked. Each person then spells the name of their card, one card per letter. The last card they land on is shown to be their card. This one is as fair as it is amazing.

Two Card Transpo
Two people select cards and sandwich them in-between their hands. Both cards then magically switch places. This rapid-fire stunner is very open and clean, making it more convincing than many other similar routines.

Switch Change
A set of breathtakingly visual and perfectly choreographed color changes that takes advantage of the Switch On & Switch Off sleights taught in the moves section. Both single card and four of a kind variants are taught.

Ruffle Shuffle Aces
A rapid-fire Ace location routine that happens during the process of casually and fairly mixing the cards.

Throw Away
A card visually vanishes and then reappears in the deck. Clever construction combined with beautiful visuals make this a real gem you’ll love performing.

Card to Box
The classic Card to Box with a signature Andrew Frost touch. Streamlined, direct and purely magical. Included in the moves section since the move itself is so great.
