Ultimate Card To Pocket
By: Chauncey Mattei
Effect: The Magician Removes 2 aces or two Kings
from the deck and sets them down onto a table. The
magician has the spectator select a card, and the
magician takes their card that they selected and
places it between the 2 aces. He closes up the packet
and tells the audience that the aces have a special
button and if you push it causes their card to vanish.
You open the packet back up and their card is
Gone!!!! It really is gone! BUT, you tell the audience
that you felt something when the card vanished……
you reach into your pocket and pull out their card!!!!
After the trick you are completely clean!
What you’ll need: Ok you will need a Duplicate card
and double sided tape to create this miracle
Preparation: ok find two aces or kings (it doesn’t
matter) and place a 1 inch piece on the center of the
back of one of the aces. Next take one of the duplicate
cards and place it in your pocket, Now take the two
aces and place them on top of the deck (make sure the
one with the tape on the back of it is on the very top of
the deck). Now You are going to have to force the
duplicate card on your spectator so place it
somewhere in the middle if you are going to use the
riffle force, or place it right below if you are going to
use the slip force. Now you have the deck setup and
you are ready to go!
Performance: Ok start off by telling the spectators
that you have pre-selected two cards and they are two
aces. Next, force the duplicate card on the spectator (I
recommend the riffle force for this one) if you don’t
know the riffle force it is taught at the bottom of this
document. Now that you have forced the card on the
spectator take the deck and put it away. Take the two
aces and make sure the one with the double sided tape
is on the top of the two aces, now take the spectators
card and place it between the two aces but make sure
the tape isn’t touching their card yet.
Now close up the packet and tell the spectators that
there’s a special button and if you press it, it makes
their card vanish (this is a excuse to make sure that
the tape sticks to their card). Now show that their
card has completely vanished and left the packet you
can click the two cards to together and everything its
gone! Now slowly reach into your pocket and pull out
their card, they will completely flip out! Now if you
want to you can switch out the gaffed ace and pass
them out for inspection, but I have never had a
spectator to see the cards but they do ask to see their
card sometimes but you can gladly hand that out for
inspection and be completely clean! Well that
concludes the ultimate card to pocket, I hope you will
enjoy this trick as much as I have and have fun with
it!
Riffle Force: ok this for anybody who doesn’t know
any forces, this is an Ideal one for this trick so I
suggest you use it. Ok the setup is a bit different than
the usual one, ok you have the dupe in your pocket
already and the two aces on top but this time you have
the other duplicate in the middle of the deck with a
picky break above it like this:
next tell the spectator that you are going to riffle
through the pack and you want them to tell you to
stop somewhere in the deck. So when you start to
riffle through the pack and they tell you to stop you
stop where they tell you to but you cut the cards at the
break and BOOM there you have it you have forced
the card. Use this force it is VERY effective and goes
well with this trick, I hope you have enjoyed this and
will use this trick and love it well that’s it I hope you
will enjoy it and use it, Peace Out!
