Ultimate Card to Pocket

When you hear the explanation to this trick, you may think to

yourself, ÐThatÓs it?Ñ Trust me, when you go out and start performing this, I

think you will find it to be one of the most practical Card to Pocket Î or

actually Card to Anywhere Î tricks there is.

The concept is rather simple, as it should be for all magic tricks.

Basically, you donÓt let them see the face of the card until you have it in a

double lift. HereÓs how it works: take any old indifferent card and place it in

your pocket, or face down wherever you want to produce it. ThatÓs your

setup. It takes two seconds and can be done anytime, even right in front of

your spectators. In fact, one way I might take this is to go through the deck,

upjog any card and place it into my pocket, saying to the spectator, ÐI like to

get rid of any stray jokers before I do a trick.Ñ Then when I pull the card out,

I say, ÐRemember how I put that Joker away in my pocket when we started?

I forgot to mention why. Jokers are wild.Ñ Otherwise, just prepare in

advance.

Anyway, you have the indifferent card in your pocket, and you spread

through the deck. They pick any old card they want. They pick it, they sign

it. You have them return it to the deck, keep a break, and bring it to the top.

You can use any method youÓd like to do this. I typically just do a triple cut

to the break.

The deck is held in your left hand, and your right hand is shown

empty. (By the way, this Card to Pocket is so cleanÈ do everything you can

to make it look as fair as possible. Put the card in your chest pocket if

possible, because people would notice if you ever went near your chest.

Always be showing your hands empty and move slowly.) Reach your right

hand into your pocket and pull out the face down card, immediately bringing

it toward the deck. Have a break ready below the top card. Place the

indifferent card on top, and in one fluid motion, turn it over. There should

seem to be no time between when you put the card on the deck and turn it

over. You donÓt want it to look like you are deliberately putting it onto the

deck first, before turning it.

For cleanup: Hold the double card face up in your right hand, Biddle

Grip. The cards should cover the rest of the deck. Your left hand flips the

deck over, between the index finger on the bottom and the other fingers. Do

not make a move out of this. Just do it. Immediately after doing this, drop

the double card on top of the deck, and thumb off the top card. You are done

and clean as can be.

The only potential for error with this trick is going through the actions

choppily. You want it to be a smooth flow of about ten seconds from when

the card comes out of your pocket up until it is thumbed off onto the table.

Your spectators will be reacting anyway, so they will NEVER notice the

cleanup.

So that is how the Ultimate Card to Pocket works. And believe me, it

works! This is the perfect way to open or close the Ambitious Card Routine,

it has applications in card-through-window routines, such as my own, etc.

You can also build a routine out of the trick. The number of phases is

simply equal to the number of cards you have prepared in your pocket. And

the nature of the phases is limited by your imagination. Try this: have three

cards in your pocket at the start. Have a card selected, Ðlose it,Ñ and bring it

to the top. Do the standard UCTP trick, then turn the double over and slide

the indifferent card into the middle of the pack.

Immediately after sliding it in, go to your pocket and do another

double lift. Turn the double over and snap your fingers. Ask them to take the

top card off the deck and look at it. Of course, it will be indifferent. Say, ÐIt

takes only an instant.Ñ Take the third card out of your pocket and place it on

top. Do the double lift as the indifferent card is in their hand. This routine is

killerÈ I use it everywhere. I hope you do as well.

Now let me share an even more powerful application for this simple

principleÈ

Ultimate Card through Window

If youÓre like me, having seen so many methods out there all for

essentially the same thing, itÓs a tough sell to say that this version is the best.

Personally, IÓve spent a lot of money that I wish I never spent on this very

effect. IÓve learned a lot of methods, and some have been inspiring, but this

is the routine IÓve landed on that works best for me. ItÓs just so practical in

any environment, where you can borrow a deck and be ready to go. I also

want to make the suggestion that, if this routine doesnÓt thrill you, email me

before making any Î oh, letÓs just go with a random number here Î $245.00

purchases. Now, letÓs rock and roll.

This routine is based on two of my other tricks and a few other

concepts from various magicians. The trick that comes up first is the Snap

Vanish, a sleight that has been gold to me over the past few months, and

Ultimate Card to Pocket, which is one of the first tricks I published. These

two, intertwined in some classic card-through-window principles, really

make a sweet deal. This is no doubt one of the top five routines that I

perform.

This does involve setup, but the underlying preparation is a one-time

deal, and the immediate setup takes only a moment of privacy. The only

ÐextrasÑ you need are a pair of duplicates, two paperclips, double-sided

sticky tape, and ideally an indifferent card from a separate deck. As youÓre

getting used to the routine, use two windows. Once youÓve mastered that,

you can start doing both phases with the same window Î a separate variation

weÓll talk about later in the tutorial. For the sake of a clear explanation, IÓm

going to label the materials. The two dupes are ÐAÑ and ÐB,Ñ the indifferent

card is ÐC,Ñ the window of the first reveal is Ð1,Ñ and the window of the

second reveal is Ð2.Ñ Take a moment to memorize that key and get your stuff

together, and weÓll go through the one-time setup.

Face up, top to bottom: A, B, C. Leave the deck aside. Square A, B,

and C, and clip them on both ends with the paperclip. Tear the three cards as

one along the top right corner. Discard the C corner. Discard the B corner.

Keep the A corner. Leave C and A aside. Take a half-inch strip of double

sided sticky tape and stick it to the immediate left of BÓs empty corner, along

the top edge of the card. Stick the A corner onto this double-sided sticky

tape. This setup sounds obscenely complicated if your reading it without

following along. But it will take you only a couple of minutes and only

needs to be done once every fifty performances or so.

The immediate setup is as follows: B (with the attached A corner) is

placed on top of the face down deck. The face down deck is placed in its

case. A is stuck on the back of Window 1, back facing the onlooker. B is

stuck to Window 2, in the same fashion. This is the immediate setup.

If you are using this as an opener, pull the deck out face up with B on

the bottom. If you are using it somewhere in the middle of another routine

(which I discourage), leave it in the case and palm it out at the appropriate

time. There are a few ways for you to force B, limited slightly by its

handicap.

The safest way IÓve found is by the Topper Force. Hold the deck face

down in Biddle Grip, covering the missing corner of course, and riffle

through the cards until the spectator calls out stop. Stop here and outjog the

card for a quarter of its length. Close the deck and tell them youÓll give a

peak of the card. The left wrist, holding the deck, turns, as the right fingers

push the outjogged card flush into the deck. At the same time, the right

thumb pulls the top card up, and it is pulled out of the deck between the

thumb and fingers of the right hand. To all appearances, youÓve outjogged

their card and pulled it out. This move is a bit knacky, especially considering

the missing corner, but it is very safe and very efficient in this context.

While the card is in the right hand, waste no time. Get your thumb nail

under the attached corner until it detaches. Then pretend to rip this corner

off. Do this in the mirror to make sure that it looks real and natural. Hand the

corner to the spectator and place the card face up on the table. (I originally

didnÓt let myself see the card, but found it was a waste of time and energy.)

When the card is face up and the corner in the spectatorÓs hand, take a sigh

of relief. If nothing else, this is certainly the most complicated phase of the

trick.

Tell the spectator, ÐThe reason I tore a corner off this card Î because I

usually hate to destroy cards Î is because this effect is so strong, you

probably wouldnÓt believe me if I didnÓt do something to exclusify the card.Ñ

Incidentally, exclusify is not a word, but IÓve used it so many times that itÓs

ingrained in the patter, and no one ever notices. Tell them to keep the corner

and show their card front and back. When you place it back on the table,

place it face down in preparation for the Snap Vanish. I used to do the Snap

Vanish face up, but the double stick tape could interfere. DonÓt take your

chances.

Now youÓre going to perform the Snap Vanish, exactly as it would be

performed under any other circumstances. If you donÓt already know these

tricks, youÓll learn them later on. Just know for now that this card vanishes

instantly and ends up in your lap. I quickly draw attention to the deck and

place it forward for them to examine. While theyÓre seeking through the

deck, I place the lapped card into my pocket.

As theyÓre still going through the deck, I place my hand on their

shoulder and point to Window 1. Here, they freak out. They go over to the

window. They take out the card. They match the corner. All is right in magic.
