Oh, One More Thing...A Card Trick

Super easy Card Magic prediction trick you can do. Inspired by my favorite 70's TV detective...who was always right in the end - and always knew who "dunnit".

Simple effective trick, thank you for sharing. I have written on the back of the two outer cards you turn them over if the ace is picked ' you will select the ace' as an extra kicker!

[@trapdoormagic]

I love that. Such a great idea. That is an example of how a small change to a trick can make it so much better. Thanks!

Nice, visually pleasing effect with a very cool surprise ending! Adding this to my "bag of Tricks". As always, thank you.

[@trapdoormagic]

Nice. Thanks again.

I did different version of this trick with 3 outs on my boss at work last week and he seemed impressed.

[@trapdoormagic]

Very cool.

[@RobertBallMagician]

A very cool effect 😎 😊👍👍

The effect is killed immediately if the spectator happens to flip over the card from the envelope.

[@trapdoormagic]

The spectator doesn't open the envelope - the magician does. And the spectator has no reason to do anything with the envelope but set it down with the X showing upward. Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate the feedback.

Is there a different 2nd out one can use instead of the double sided card? Because it would be awesome if the spectator can open the envelope himself.

[@trapdoormagic]

@@bruce1117 Not that I can think of off the top of my head. Maybe someone reading these comments will have an idea. One of the problems with having too many variations of outs is that it can introduce too many props into the routine. The advantage of a DF card is that it keeps the number or items on the table to a minimum. I like your brainstorming, though. Its always good to see if there is a better way. Thanks for adding to the conversation.

Really nice effect and clever. What jumbo cards do you use in the performance cause look great in trick? 👍👍

[@trapdoormagic]

Those are Bicycle Big Box cards made by USPCC. You can get less expensive (off brand) jumbo cards on Amazon that look decent.

[@Mickyd2121]

Can you give me the link to the items if you don't mind. I've looked myself and are a4 size. Surely those cards are not that size?

[@trapdoormagic]

@@Mickyd2121 You can get Bicycle Big Box cards directly from USPCC here: bicyclecards.com/shop/bicycle-big-box---large-playing-cards-red-130012031 They are 4.5" x 7" If you do a search for jumbo playing cards on Amazon, there are several cheaper alternatives for 5 x 7 playing cards.
