Howard Hamburg – Mystical 13

Ideal for beginners yet powerful enough to impress seasoned magicians!

In this captivating effect, the spectator selects two spot cards and one picture card from a deck, placing them face-up on the table. The performer highlights the significance of the numbers: 7 is a lucky number in American culture, 8 in Chinese tradition, but for the performer, 13 holds special meaning for certain cards.

Using a separate deck, the performer randomly integrates the spectator’s three chosen cards into his face-down deck. When the deck is spread out, the three face-up cards are extracted along with the adjacent face-down cards. Upon revealing the three face-down cards, they astonishingly turn out to be Aces. The fourth Ace is discovered by summing the values of the original three cards, leading the spectator to count down to that number in the deck, where the missing Ace awaits.

As a stunning finale, the entire deck transforms into blank cards!

• The deck is fully examinable at the conclusion!
• No sleight of hand required!
