Giant 3 Cards Monte, Plus

This is a Three Card Monte or Find The Queen effect with a difference. In the normal routine, the magician uses one Queen or special card and two odd cards, and the spectator has to find the Queen. This makes the odds 2-to-1 in the magician's favor, which is not really fair. So for this effect you use two Queens, and one odd card. This will make the odds favorable to the spectator.

The normal effect is done with ordinary playing cards, and magicians are famous for sleights and hanky panky with cards. So you will perform the effect with Giant Cards, nearly a foot long, making any sleights impossible. In spite of this, the spectators can't find the Queen. Finally, for a climax all the three Giant Cards change to the odd card.

Giant Find The Queen is an excellent item, mechanical in working, and suitable for any performing conditions, including a large stage. Supplied complete and ready to use.

Incredible Coincidence by Eduardo Kozuch

The performer presents a jumbo poker card on a plastic frame with its back to the audience. He then asks a spectator to pick a card from an ordinary poker deck and place it face down against the jumbo card. The performer than flips the frame and cards around revealing the jumbo cards face (his prediction). He then shakes the spectator's card free of the frame and lo and behold! it matches the jumbo prediction!

Jumbo Giant Prediction

A truly novel large stage size effect for revealing a selected card in an off-beat manner. The performer displays four different jumbo cards on a stand. He states one of these will match a card selected by a spectator from a deck. The four jumbo cards are given to a spectator to hold.

Another spectator selects a card from the deck, which he is asked to show the rest of the audience. The four jumbo cards are now taken from the spectator holding them, mixed, and placed back out on the stand. The magician claims the spectator will find the duplicate of his selected card. By this time, the spectator and the audience firmly believe the magician has goofed, because the selected card is entirely different from the four jumbo cards the performer had displayed. After some by play, the performer asks the spectator to name his selected card. Pretending to be confused, the performer turns around the four jumbo cards. Each card has now transformed into a quarter of the replica of the selected card. The four quarters when replaced on the stand form a giant replica of the selected card, four times bigger than the normal jumbo card.

The bland description does not do justice to the entertainment value of this effect, which is excellent for any type of audience. Jumbo Giant Prediction comes to you complete and ready to use with all the necessary cards, display stand, other required accessories, and full working instructions. An item that packs flat at the bottom of your suitcase, and provides several minutes of entertainment for a large audience.

Jumbo Selected Card Across

The Card Across is an old effect that is known to most magicians and many versions are available in books and magazines.

In this effect, the magician counts two packets of five cards and requests a spectator to select one of the packets. The person next chooses any one card in the packet. With the wave of his magic wand, the magician causes the chosen card to fly invisibly to the other packet. The effect is not only easy to do, but it is done with Jumbo cards that make the effect most suitable for stage.

This Jumbo version also eliminates the possibilities of palming a card across or similar sleights usually done with normal sized cards. Remember that the magician need not even know the selected card and there is no force of the card! We supply you with Ten Jumbo cards and the full routine.

Jumbo Sorcerers Surprise

Same effect as Out of Order with different graphics. The magic of literature has brought us a wonderful tool to enhance our performance as magicians.

The two sets of ten Jumbo cards in Sorcerer's Surprise are colorful displays of different items and places that Harry Potter encountered.

Effect includes complete instructions, two jumbo decks of ten cards each, and convenient carrying case. Instantly resets and everything is completely examinable.

Kon-King by Aldo Colombini

You have a jumbo card inside a folder as a prediction. A deck of cards is shuffled and cut. A spectator deals the card into four packets, then FREELY chose any one. The spectator can even change his mind. No force. The spectator turns over the top card of the chosen packet and it is seen to be (say) the King of Hearts. When the prediction is revealed, it is found to be the King of Hearts. The spectator then turns over the top card of the other three piles and it is seen that these are the remaining Kings! No sleigh-of hand or skill. Only one prediction card is used.

Comes complete with jumbo card and routine. Very easy to perform. Use your own regular deck. Card Dimensions Approximately 8 inch x 5 inch (20.32 cm x 12.7 cm)

Out Of This Universe, Jumbo Cards

One of the finest card tricks of all times is Paul Curry's Out Of This World, where a spectator magically separates an ordinary deck of playing cards into heaps of red and black cards, without seeing their faces. Out Of This Universe is a larger Jumbo Card size version of the same effect, designed for a larger audience, and suitable for platform or even stage use. It uses fewer cards, and is therefore snappier and shorter in presentation, making it more suitable as an item in your professional act. The working principal is entirely different to the original, making this a mechanical effect almost self working to perform. Supplied with the dozen special Jumbo cards and routine.

Wild Card, Giant

This version of the classic card trick uses giant (A4) size cards, suitable for large stage or platform use. The giant cards imply no sleights are possible. This stage version uses seven cards, six of the cards are identical, and the last card is an odd or Wild Card. One at a time the Wild Card, when rubbed with the cards, changes them to its clones. You are left with seven AS cards at the end. Supplied with the specially printed cards and instructions.
