Pick up one of the other columns, then the column he chose, and then the last column, so that the column with the chosen card is between the other two.ĭeal them out again the same as before, and have your volunteer tell you which column the card is now in. Now have someone think of any card in one of the columns, and then tell you which column the card is in. Make sure you deal out each of the rows so you can still see the cards behind it. Deal three cards across for the first row, then another card on top of each for the next row, and so on until you have seven rows of cards in three columns for a total of 21 cards. Performance: Take 21 cards and deal them out into three columns by dealing seven cards in each column.

There is also an effect which works better with jumbos and it has many names.īilly McComb with Ken De Courcy's was the first version I used (Supreme Magic), BUT this was with an ordinary sized deck. I disposed of the plastic houlette about 30 years ago substituting a home made holder & the card box, which was less like a magician's prop.

My favourite effect with Jumbo Cards is The Nemo Rising Cards.
