Peter Duffie – Card Secrets Unlocked

Format: PDF

CRYSTAL CLEAR TRANSPO: Experience a classic transposition of two cards placed at the top and bottom of a glass, utilizing no duplicate cards.

A ROYAL ENIGMA: Inspired by “The Vernon Card Puzzle” from Early Vernon (1962) and influenced by Peter Kane’s “Royal Families” and Roy Walton’s “Split Up,” this effect offers a clever twist.

MORE ROYAL ENIGMATICS: This can serve as a follow-up to the previous effect or stand alone. Based on Roy Walton’s “Happy Families,” it adds depth to your performance.

MEXICAN EXPANSION: Lay three face-down cards as a prediction. A spectator freely chooses a card from the deck, and when revealed, it matches the prediction—a stunning revelation!

LEAD-IN: ‘The Spectator Cuts The Aces’ is a classic. This version serves as an engaging lead-in for any four Ace trick that typically requires 12 cards, based on a Marlo method without lapping.

ON A ROLL: After a card selection, a spectator cuts the deck into three piles, revealing three Jacks on top. The missing Jack? It’s the spectator’s chosen card!

A SHADE INEXPLICABLE: Display eight business cards numbered 1 through 8. A spectator selects five cards freely, and you accurately predict the outcome—an impressive feat!

AS EASY AS A, B, C: A spectator shuffles and cuts the deck into three piles. After shuffling each pile, they hold one while you and another spectator reveal the number of red and black cards in the original pile.

SHORT SHARP SHOCK SHARPENED: This concise and effective color-changing pack improves upon a method published in Contemporary Card Magic (1984), resolving previous discrepancies for a smoother performance.

A ‘LESSEN’ IN DISHONESTY: A spectator selects a portion of the deck, places a card in their pocket, and eliminates all but two cards. These reveal the suit and value of the hidden card—an astonishing revelation!

U. D. ASSOCIATES: Witness a spectator find two matching mates without any prior knowledge—an intriguing effect!

ONLY A GAME: While the Down Under deal often lacks excitement, this version engages two spectators in a game of chance, transforming a mundane procedure into an entertaining experience.
