The last effect with the Ace spades would adapt nicely to Tarot cards..you bring out the magician card from the major arcana as the 'finder' and use the minor arcana cards for the effect as Craig has taught..gives a bit of drama & doesn't feel like a 'card trick'..thanks for these effects Craig..keep the magic alive regards Phil
Love that last one. Thought of a nice presentational idea: start the routine off by placing a single card on the table. Ask the spectator to think of any card. Ask them 'would you be impressed if that was your card?' When the say yes, flip it over to show it is a blank card with 'your card' written on it. No one laughs.. then point out that the card can actually tell you their card. Ask them to go through the pack and find the card they thought of. You now make the two piles of fifteen and continue as Craig teaches, saying the 'your card' will tell you which pile their card is in each time. When you get to the last two it will be the your card on/under the card they were thinking of. I think that adds a nice bit of theatre to a nice selfworker.
Thank you very Craig this is great for raining Days to do some special Card tricks without breaking the fingers to have fun...I'm happy to have now more easy to do tricks for impromptu 😊 THANKS!!!
For the second trick when choosing the card: have them pick up the 'card pile', shuffle it, cut anywhere, look at the bottom card of the cut portion, put that portion onto the 'number pile', shuffle what's left in their hand and throw on top of all. Tonne more shuffling from the spectator and gets the card twenty sixth from top in a totally hands-off and selfworking way.😊
Best ACAAN I've seen. Instead of the odd shuffle try this : one perfect in faro, then transfer 1 card from bottom to top. Turn deck face up and deal. The card will be at the number.
I've fooled more people, magicians and laymen, with self-working effects than I have with other effects. In fact, pretty much my entire setlist is self-workers now, and thanks to watching Craig's content, I've figured out clever ways of making them all flow together into a decent routine.
Fantastic Craig, thank you!

Thanks for your giving nature. Really class.
