My Best Card Magic 2008-2016 by Raphael Czaja

A collection of easy-to-perform card magic tricks, including Ace Assembly, transpositions, spelling effects, predictions, and more!

Exclusively from Penguin Magic, this compilation features 13 of my top card tricks from 2008 to 2016 at an unbeatable price. Most of these tricks were originally sold for $8 each! They are all simple to execute, with some being nearly self-working.

Included Tricks:

• EASY SIMPLE PREDICTION: A spectator selects the only card with an odd back from a five-card packet.
• FINAL COUNTDOWN: In collaboration with Cameron Francis, this routine involves eliminating cards from a prediction packet, ultimately revealing the spectator’s chosen card.
• ODD JOKERS: A spectator picks a Joker that transforms into a previously selected card while the others vanish, leaving three blank-faced cards.
• IN CASE HOF EMERGENCY: A transposition routine inspired by the Hofzinser Ace Problem with an unexpected ending.
• BIDDLE JUICE: A surprising take on the Biddle trick involving two spectators, performed impromptu.
• TRIPLE SUCCESS: Based on Jay Sankey’s Hide, Keep and Give Away, the magician predicts the identity and location of three freely chosen cards, also impromptu.
• COLORFUL JOURNEY: An unconventional Ace Assembly using two decks, requiring a red/blue double-backer.
• SCAMP: A two-deck ACAAN (Any Card At Any Number) that stands out as my best-seller!
• DO YOU STILL LIKE SCARY MOVIES?: A visual campfire story told through card magic, requiring a red/blue double-backer.
• ODDPEN PREDICTION: A unique take on Paul Curry’s Open Prediction, where a spectator’s chosen card matches the magician’s prediction.
• READ, SPELL AND KILL: An extension of Paul Harris’ Overkill plot, where the magician divines one spectator’s card and spells to find another’s.
• FATAL: The magician accurately predicts a randomly created playing card.
• SPELLBOUND: The spectator spells out a thought-of card to select a second card, which the magician then divines.

“EASY SIMPLE PREDICTION is really very good.” – Aldo Colombini

“FINAL COUNTDOWN is a really good trick. The gradual elimination – with each having a different surprise to it – is first rate.” – Peter Duffie

“I loved IN CASE HOF EMERGENCY. […] BIDDLE JUICE is fantastic. I was a bit jealous that I hadn’t thought of it first![…] SCAMP is killer and super practical. […] FATAL is very clever.” – Cameron Francis

“I tried TRIPLE SUCCESS on my wife, and she was completely baffled. […] How the aces ‘move’ in COLORFUL JOURNEY seems to confuse the spectator…and they have a weird look on their face, like ‘how is this possible!??'” – Mike (MagicCafe review)

“DO YOU STILL LIKE SCARY MOVIES? is one of my favorite packet routines.” – David Devlin

“ODDPEN PREDICTION is excellent.” – Stephen Tucker
