If you see me and ask to see a trick, THIS is what I'll be performing from now on. I love it that much.

No one can figure it out, I don't care how smart they are. They merely THINK of a card.. like, with their EYES ONLY, then they shuffle the cards! And NO, you don't have to ask "is it in this pile? No? How about this one?".... That would be a terrible trick. There is absolutely no fishing!

But that's not enough to make a trick my go-to. The thing that puts "Little Vernon" over the top is that you can use literally any old deck -- even if it's incomplete. This may seem like a small thing, but I'll tell you from years of experience (of not being prepared), it means EVERYTHING to me.

Here's a wonderful bonus:

Turns out, John Carey is one of the best teachers of magic I've ever had the pleasure of watching. He has the best words. He explains the mechanics and psychology of every move so well, you really feel ready to rock after one viewing.

Check it out here, and learn this one. It's gorgeous.

Probably one of the best inpromptu tricks you can do! Report this review

I see this being in the top sellers list for a while, at this price you pretty much can't NOT have this in your repertoire as a card magician. It is an impromptu miracle that is an absolute fooler to laypeople and most likely a majority of magicians. It can literally be done within minutes after learning the method. Well done John! I love when downloads like this come out pf nowhere and instantly make me want to perform it. New fan for life.

Also on his At the Table lecture Report this review

This is a nice little effect - but word to the wise - for the same price you can buy his At the Table Lecture (also available on Penguin) which includes an explanation of this effect, plus about 9 or 10 others - so it's a much better deal! Giving this a 4 considering the price of this one effect here compared to the price of the ATT lecture.

Simple and powerful Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 8th, 2018
A very simple and powerful trick, which can be done with any deck, for sure (even if I prefer to do it with a marked deck).

I give it only 4 stars because this trick cannot really be repeated to the same spectator, or you might give some serious clues.

I showed this to a friend of mine after one viewing. I nailed it and my friend was fooled. This is such an excellent IMPROMPTU effect!

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 10th, 2018
very good i like to collect as many tricks as possible with no set up and this is great. not too keen on the glancing but does it really matter if they see u looking at the cards as they are thoroughly mixed supposedly and its the performance.u are watching for a signal from their brain and act as if ur getting a message. all performance. more from john carey please. thanks alan.

Fooled Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 6th, 2018
I need to think twice before buying anymore downloads from Penguin.

This trick DOES require a special move, even though it is promoted as move-free.

It's a great effect, but I was mislead. This is NOT going into my repertoire.

10 Stars !!! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 18th, 2022
This routine is one of those download purchases where I think-- Wow I wish I had found this a year ago-- so good. Can perform it literally right after watching the tutorial-- and this hits very HARD-- specs go crazy . I do not understand some reviews complaining about one of the moves or saying this doesn't always work??-- It always works!! and one of the moves can easily be substituted for a simple move I picked up 4 weeks into card sleight of hand that everybody knows how to do. . Very simple to do, yet so strong. This is my opener now. I only got into card magic 12 mos ago and if I can do this with ease then I think anybody can do this. One of my best Download purchases ever from Penguin and I have bought over 100 downloads.
