4 Effects by Dustin Marks

4 Brand New Effects. I have not published these effects anywhere.

  • Structured Procedure and Setup: Each effect is meticulously detailed with specific setups and methods. Most setups are minimal.
  • Audience Management & Psychological Play: The magician’s actions, patter, and even the “illogical” elements are designed to manage spectator perception and prevent suspicion.
  • Apparent Fairness: Despite the deception, the goal is often to make the trick appear as if “magic was real,” minimizing suspicious movements.
  • Building Impossibility: Effects are structured to eliminate perceived solutions, such as eliminating the idea of a stacked deck by having the spectator shuffle, or ruling out marked cards (optional).

1. Spectator Names Any Card

Effect: The magician places an unknown card face down on the table. A spectator names any card (no force), and when the card is turned over, it matches the named card. This is a fast, hard-hitting effect. A great opener.

2. Single Card Prediction

Effect: Magician makes a prediction. Spectator shuffles the deck and deals cards face down, stopping anywhere. The card they stopped at matches the prediction. Spectator takes the prediction home for a souvenir.

3. The Mysterious Jack of Spades

Effect: a multi-phase effect where the Jack of Spades repeatedly disappears from a small packet of cards and reappears in the main deck. No palming. Eye candy for the spectator.

4. Face Up Face Down Revelation

Effect: The spectator shuffles face-up cards into face-down cards while the magician looks away. Without ever touching the deck, the magician instantly states how many cards are face-up and then identifies the face-down card at any named position the spectator says (no force, no equivoque). This is strong enough to be a closer and it has a 10-second reset.

  • Minimal sleight of hand is needed for these effects.
  • No electronics.
  • No complicated procedures.
