The End by Rick Lax (Instant Download)

Your ultimate secret weapon. When it’s crucial to astound everyone with your final performance, you’ll turn to THE END.

A “good” magic trick can deceive most spectators. A “great” magic trick can fool even seasoned magicians. But what do you call a trick that astonishes ALL magicians? You call it THE END. Rick Lax has perfected this routine over six years. Much like BINARY CODE—the trick that left Penn & Teller baffled—Rick’s latest card effect mystifies every magician who witnesses it. Here’s how it unfolds:

You present a folded piece of paper to the spectator. Next, you display a shuffled deck of cards and hand it to her. She cuts the deck at any point she chooses and looks at the card she selected. After returning the card to the deck, she opens the paper to reveal a number. She then counts down that many cards and, astonishingly, lands on her chosen card.

This is a nearly unexplainable miracle for several reasons:

• The spectator can select ANY card from the deck.
• She returns the card to the deck independently; YOU DO NOT touch the cards.
• She opens the paper by herself; YOU DON’T TOUCH OR SWITCH THE PAPER.
• After counting down the number on the paper, she arrives at her card.

THE END is not just a fleeting trick; it’s an extraordinary demonstration meant for special moments. Whether you’re captivating a challenging audience, entertaining fellow magicians, or concluding a remarkable card routine, this trick is designed to impress. It’s one of THOSE tricks. It’s that remarkable. It’s THE END.
