Topsy Turvy with a Chosen Card
Topsy Turvy is a great way to do the face up and down prediction move, but it's not the only way to do this that Scarne and Hummer ever created. This move uses the cards in a slightly different way, though. Instead of mixing the deck up even more, you'll be sorting it out completely... well, all ...

You Just Ran Out Of Cards
This is a seriously killer trick. One that is very worth being called a Dominatrick. A race to see who runs out of cards first, you or the spectator. As their last card is drawn, it'll become clear that you were one step ahead the entire time.

Four Deuces
What happens when John Scarne and Stanley Jaks get together to create a self-working effect? It's Four Deuces, an effect that is so self-working that it's, in Simon's words, "as self-working as a self-working effect could be." You'll perform a miracle, all while holding the cards behind your back.

Jack Catch
Simon provides a tutorial of his own sandwich, Jack Catch. This move was the first work of Simon's to be published, ever.

Instant Appearance Sandwich
A beautiful thing with sandwich effects is to make the chosen card appear instantly between the cards. You'll fake out your spectator at first, hiding their chosen card.
