Dave Forrest – The Forrest Triumph

Effect: Prepare to be amazed as you showcase an extraordinary shuffle tracking demonstration. In this mind-bending routine, you will track cards from a deck that is mixed both face up and face down. After thoroughly mixing the deck, you invite a spectator to remember one card from the chaotic arrangement. You then fan the deck towards the audience, revealing a genuine mix of face-up and face-down cards. To heighten the suspense, you give the deck one final weave. Without any corrective moves, you miraculously produce the four Aces, having successfully ‘shuffle tracked’ the most powerful cards in the deck! As a grand finale, you spread the cards to reveal that every card is facing the same direction, except for the spectator’s chosen card and its three companions.

For years, Dave has kept The Forrest Triumph a secret, performing it only for laypeople and a select few magician friends, all of whom have praised its method—especially the impressively fair fan display of mixed cards. This remarkable card effect has been refined into a captivating performance piece that can now be yours. Every detail, sleight, and presentation nuance is thoroughly taught, ensuring your performance is engaging and seemingly impossible. Prepare to leave your audience in awe and astonish your fellow magicians. The Forrest Triumph is guaranteed to impress.
