Excellent list - 8 of 10 in my repertoire. Others to include - Card on Ceiling, Bannon's Triumph, Sankey's Back-in-Time, Paul Vigil's Sympathy for the Devil, Card Warp and Anniversary Waltz. With a gimmicked deck, highly recommend Josh Jay's Prism
I was "this close" to mentioning card warp
More if these lists please, it shows off your wide knowledge of magic. I can only go by Spectators reaction, but Triumph hits every time for me.
Triumph is a great one !!
Any tick where the whole deck changes are great a deck righting it self as in Triumph is great. Along with color changing deck. One of the first tricks in Royal Road is a triuph like effect but thier is no chosen card. you just mix them up face down to face up and then you get them to right themselves. It is one of my go to effects when I see a deck of cards at a party.
I've been in the card universe for 51 years. In my opinion(based on raw entertainment value), here are my top 10:
1) Impromptu Out of this World by Harry Lorayne.
2) Chicago Opener(et al.) Al Leech/Frank Garcia
3) Super Interchange-Darwin Ortiz, lecture notes #2
4) Christmas Aces - Lou Gallo
5) Rainbow Miracle - Nick Trost
6) Father and Son Aces - Arturo de Ascanio
7) Devious Dates - Peter Duffie
8) Oil and Queens - Roy Walton
9) The Collectors - Roy Walton
10) Time Out - Phil Goldstein
__________________________________________
If I had an 11th, it would be a tie between
Devilish Miracle - Ed Marlo/Carmen D'amico
and
The Whistle Trick - Theodore Annemann
Couple of Notes: Daley's Last Ace Trick wasn't his last trick. It was Cavorting Aces. Also, there is really no proof whatsoever that Dai Vernon ever did a trick for Harry Houdini. Bess would later argue that they never actually met at all.
great list
I woulda added the classic erdnase change.. very simple,very visual.. and most people I show love it.
that seems more like a "sleight" than a fleshed out trick?
@magicorthodoxy tbf your video says "best card tricks".. I mean you're right, but still a trick 😁.
Thank you for all of your hard work on a daily basis. I look forward to your videos every day!
I appreciate that!
Fantastic list! Please more videos like this. If I had to pick one that you left out, the anniversary waltz is just such a powerful trick
Great suggestion!
Really enjoyed this presentation!Nice work.Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you. Love you're show💯
Thanks for listening
Great list! I love David Regal’s Modern Transportation and the Slop Shuffle!
I love David Regal ... period !!!
Great list!
Glad you enjoyed it
Great rundown and probably the most essential! There are some other plots that are worth an honorable mention: 1) A version of ACAAN; 2) The faux memorized deck--see More Memory Man by Joel Givens for a great example of this (in Session--The Magic of Joel Givens, by Joshua Jay or as a single download on Vanishing Inc); 3) Some version of 'weighing' cards; 4) as mentioned by a previous posters a sandwich or travelers card trick and spectator cuts to the aces type trick; 5) as an honorable honorable mention--and certainly not essential--a Sam-the-Bellhop type story with cards trick might make some people's lists
ACAN, Ace Assembly and Oil and Water should be there
@@magicorthodoxy Oil and Water.... I also forgot about Oil and Water (Then again, it probably would have separated itself from the rest of the card tricks anyway ;)
Now this is the post to get the opinions and ideas going :) Thanks for doing this one :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
I was so happy to see Twisting the Aces. It is the effect that forced me to learn the elmsley and jordan when i was very young, the one that I think was missing was Bizarre Twist by Paul Harris. These are the 2 I always did when some one asked me to do a trick when I was a kid.
hi David !!!
Very good list. I love also card predictions and mental card tricks.
me 2 !!!
Card tricks are my favorite 🎉 I would learn a ACAAN. Great video David!
👍👍👍
Card on Ceiling :-)
This is such a great channel! Thank you Magicorthodoxy!
Hi Peter
Dr. Daley's last Trick sounds very similar to the 2 Card Monty which I think would make the top 10. As always excellent video. Until next time.
Interesting!
Wow there are a lot of tricks this list was great I love it and plus I learn a bit of their history
Glad you enjoyed!
Best magic channel on YT
woo hoo !!!
Maybe B Wave and love the Member section!!!
THANKS !!!
Nice video ! I remember when David Burglas showed me his any card to any number effect it blew my freaking mind ! One of my favourite memories in the magic world, as it was just me and my friend and David with his friend and we chatted for ages he was cool !
I love it when our heroes take time to talk to us
@@magicorthodoxy so true ! some of them can be a bit funny 🥴 your becoming a bit of a hero yourself David ! 😉😁 keep up the good work !
i'll always be just a fan - like all of you
I think that ACAAN, is one of the moust fundamental and incredible card trick, it would be in my top 3
so true !!!
Excellent list David. Glad to see OOTW, and Gemini twins is on the list.👍👍
Good choices!
Great video! Really helps beginners magicians to know what to spend their time on!
Glad it was helpful!
@@magicorthodoxy After looking at your video, I searched one of the trick that looked really familiar to one that fooled me about a week ago and I was finally able to find out the method! Felling so excited right now even though it's 2am!
Awesome video!
Thanks for the visit
that is such a nice topic!
oh good !!!
Thanks for the guidance. You're right its like taking a drink from a fire hose when it comes to sorting out card tricks.
Great resource 👍
Thanks 👍
Excellent selections! 8 of 10 are effects in your list, I use on a regular basis. 1 I would add if I were making the list is "Card to Ceiling", which I guess could fall under card to impossible location. Thanks for this great offering, keep up the great work!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing 👍 great content 👏 👌♠️
Thanks for visiting
I do all on your list except Gemini twins and card monti. Great list!
Thanks for sharing!!
Hi David, I would love to see your all time favorite magic tricks. Top 7 would be a great video to watch. And this includes tenyo tricks s as well. Top 7 all time! I figured top 7 as top 10 is a long video...lol Thanks David I love your channel. Best reviews on youtube.
Wow I think I can now actuality perform a decent bottom with your phenomenal instructions! Thanks
??? you must be commenting on a different video
Excellent list David 👍🏻👍🏻
I’ve got some work to do 🤪
me 2
I would just add anniversary waltz to the list as well, as it is one of the best souvenirs. I will definitely have to find out more about the plot of that John Gaustaferro trick. Love his thinking.
Good call!
Great list. 9 out of 10 are effects I do all the time! I’m not a big 3 card monte guy!
:D
Thanks!

@@magicorthodoxy ❤️
My go-to trick with a borrowed deck is "Designed for Laughter" from the Royal road. I also like to carry a few cards from an old deck for "Card Warp".
thank you for sharing
Great video, thank you. On the note of turn and Restored card there is an awesome one from John Lovick (Handsome Jack) called The Reparation
yes - that is a great one
I pretty much agree with this list....I would remove anything from it. However, if I had the opportunity to add any card tricks....it would be card to pocket/52 to 1. Any version of it....as long as it has it contains the basic idea of a named out card appears inside the pocket....multiple times. Followed with the kicker ending or the entire deck vanishing and the selection remains in the hand....the other trick I thought I would possibly see it on your list, but again. If I had the opportunity to add another trick....I might add some sort of sandwich effect. Possibly something similar to club sandwich. Or Daryl's snow shoe sandwich? Anyway, those tricks are what initially pop in my head...thanks for the video! Have a wonderful day.
great comment Nathan
Love this -- I've been performing Dr. Daly's last trick for years without knowing what it was called 😅! The only one I'd add to my top 10 is a version of ACAAN. Thanks, David! ♥️
Thanks for sharing!!
Great list, sir. I certainly enjoyed Triumph the most - Vernon's Triumph and Jay Sankey's Back in Time among others - and currently perusing through John Bannon videos and loving the Play it Straight/Bannon Triumph trick.
Out of the list, the only one I haven't learn or perform is 'Twisting the Aces'...I don't know, I felt intimidated by it somehow. Well, I suppose that will be a goal for this year then.
Thanks for sharing!
One classic and always in my routine is Matching the Cards, a Dai Vernon classic with many variations, but always the same basic effect!
Thanks for sharing!
The only one I would include is T Anneman’s $1000 card miracle.
It uses a pre arranged deck so it’s not quite perfect but it’s a magician fooler
i'll check it out
Great list. I would add "2 Card Transpo" and " Spectator Cuts the Aces".
nice !!!
Impossible to choose a definitive top ten, I love performing McDonald's aces and Omni Deck. Interesting video 👍
Yes, an ACE ASSEMBLY should have been mentioned
Yet another awesome MO video.
For those looking to find Gemini Twins, the Gemini Twins footage shown of Michael Ammar in the video is actually a completely different trick. That was Brother John Hamman’s effect in the clip.
It’s an entirely different plot than the Fulves effect. They just happen to have the same name. Both are great tricks to know.
The Hamman effect is one of my all time favorite packet tricks. You get a TON of mileage out of only 4 cards.
JEFF STONE EVERYONE! I'm not worthy !!!! The OG magic reviewer !!!!
@@magicorthodoxy - hilarious! Your channel is nearly 10 times the size of my channel. It is I who am not worthy. 🤘
none of us would be here - without you - you bravely forged the path and show'd us all what to do
@@magicorthodoxy - Thank you brother. I’m truly humbled. It makes me want to start reviewing again.
Fantastic list! One I tell people imho that they should learn is Cannibal Kings. It’s such a fun trick to do and I’m surprised more magicians don’t do it
that's a great one
Great 10 cards tricks totally 💯 oil n’ water tricks is cool 👏👏 books are important too old tricks but useful going new ideas in your routine of card tricks
Thanks a ton
@@magicorthodoxy welcome 👌👏
I loved it.
awesome !!!
I also love Twisitng the aces.
:D
Great list, I’ve done most of these or still do some of them.
One nit: the video of Gemini Twins is not actually demonstrating Gemini Twins (spectator saying stop and it matches the card they were given), but is Michael Ammar’s “Twins” routine which tells the story of two sets of twins going out on a date.
yep, but it was the only video I could find
It’s a Brother John Hamman routine that Ammar teaches.
The 10 poker deal is very strong effect
for the audience. I false count 8 $100
as 10 bills and hands them to the spectator. A lot of interesting things happens in the routine…
Cards Across.
Cards to Pocket.
Any card to any number
Repeat the Force.
Stack deck like Chan Canasta routines
The selfie card trick.
The 3.5 of clubs get stronger reactions than twisting the Aces or
Gemini twins (Hamman and Fulves)
6 cards repeat.
nice !!!
Don't forget Las Vegas Leaper by Paul Harris.
cards across - yep
Awesome list. I think that wild card, Do as I do/Triple Coincidence, a magician in trouble- ala Design for Laughter, Colour Changing Deck and a mentalism or stack trick deserves a mention. Great video plot, by the way.
this list was strictly no gaffs cards
How was Magifest David? Totally agree with everything said in this video as well. Looking forward to hopefully a review of Christian Graces new trick Inevitable Choice as well!!
it looks good
Great video. I would’ve included 2 card monte and when the spectator finds their card before choosing it. Although that trick uses a couple gimmick cards.
yea, I was trying to list non-gimmicked tricks
Nice shirt David.
THANKS H.L. !!!
From the comments seems like there needs to be a top 100 list. :) One that I love, but haven't seen mentioned upon a quick scan of the top comments, is the biddle trick. I actually do a version that happens in the spectator's hands (which I haven't been able to find a source for - I made it up after learning the table version, but presume there must be a source for an in the hands version - if you know one, please let me know). It gets GREAT reactions!
yes, several people have mentioned the biddle trick
Shuffle bored by Simon Aronson.
:D
Yup
Stay stack...26 matching mates; ACAAN
I don't know if gimmicked card tricks count. I guess they do, since you mentioned Skinner's ultimate monte! (Great trick, btw).
The one card trick ... in fact the one trick period ... that baffled me the most ever, was a Svengali deck trick with blanks. I don't know the name of the trick or who invented it, but it goes like this:
The magician browses through a deck showing that the backs and faces are normal. Then he shows the top card to everyone.and asks a spectator - preferably a child between 8 and 12 - what card it is. The kid names the card - say, 8 of clubs. The magician places the card face down on top of the deck and asks the same person what the top card is. And the person naturally says 8 of clubs. But the magician shows the face of the card, and it's blank. He puts the card back in the deck and browses through the deck again, and now all the card are blank on both sides!
When I first saw that, I was so mind-blown that I was was surprised my jaw didn't hit the floor and my eyes didn't roll out of their sockets!
The Biddle Trick is in my top 3. No Gimmicks. Regular borrowed deck. 2 Card Monte is good too, although similar to Dr. Daleys
yea, Dr Daley is a 2 card monte of sorts
2 card monte is great
Great list! I agree with a lot of the commentators that ACAAN, Oil and Water, Sandwich effect, Ace assembly, etc. should be included. But I didn’t see anyone mention a “stacked deck” effect, like “Sam the Bellhop.” Probably should get an Honorable Mention.
“Sam the Bellhop.” is great
Color Monte is the best for me!
I used it have it years ago
Honorable mentions, Ace cutting or an Ace assembly (a 4 of a kind type trick). Don't think I saw a sandwich effect in there. Jonah and the Whale is another one that's good for any/every card magician, or some type of poker hand trick (helps to satisfy the gambling theme that is most associated with cards).
Great list, David!
great suggestions !!!
Michael Vincent does a routine on the theme of The Sting
he's so awesome
Ace Assemblies, Oil and Water and gambling effects
Ace assembly is a good one that nobody has mentioned
Highly enjoyable David!! I'll just mention some that didnt get a mention...
1. ID or Brainwave
2. A signed card transposition in the spectators hands - this gets screams! (& all you need is a DL)
3. Rainbow Deck using the Gemini Twins principle - I think its better than GT
4. For gaffe decks, Cardtoon stands out
5. Ditto Mental Photography
6. The Stickman by Richard Sanders (no gimmicks or gaffes).
7. In a flash (Sankey)
8. Bwave type effects, rather than Max Mavens, I prefer Colourful Kings by Vinny Sagoo
all great suggestions !!! maybe i'll include some of those in a best trick/gaff deck video
@@magicorthodoxy Your comments & videos are always excellent. Btw, one I forgot to list which is a knockout effect Im sure you'll agree is 2 card monte, as popularised by Blaine. During walkaround gigs its my encore piece if I'm called back by anyone to do more.
Great, great list! I don’t disagree with any of your choices!!! (And for those that like Triumph like me, check out Bushfire Triumph, probably my favorite version besides the Vernon original. Also have to recommend the “Out of This World” version in Paul Harris’ books.
Thanks for sharing!
Biddle trick !!
Richard Bruce Ferguson !!!
@@magicorthodoxy the best 😉
Great list, David! I have a pathological aversion to Triumph, so I'd probably switch that out for an ACAAN or CAAN. Love McDonald's Aces and Wild Card routines too. Man, this is hard...there are just so many...
Good choice!
MPB, I have a friendly suggestion. I almost always open with “The Bannon Triumph” by John Bannon. Many of us consider it the best Triumph in existence. It’s easy, has a terrific, totally unexpected kicker, and never fails to get a great reaction.
@@davidfields155 hi David. I'll check it out. Love Bannon - which of his books/DVDs is it in? I'm just not generally a fan of the Triumph plot. It leaves me cold, but I can see why so many love it.
Btw you don't happen to work in recruitment do you? A David Fields once got me a job!
@@jacksonbollock No, I don’t. I’m a retired airline pilot.
Give me a few minutes and I will research it and get back to you.
The Bannon triumph is on two DVDs: bullets after dark and move zero, volume two. It is also in John’s book, high caliber, page 285.
Could you make a video with the best gimmick card tricks please?
that'd be tough - there are so many opinions
Excellent list, very comprehensive but would have to wave a flag for "Angle Z" and Simon Lovell's "Namer" effect (A card is chosen, signed and then the back changes colour) two constant staples of many years of performing.
:D
Cards across is a great plot. I do a version of Las Vegas leaper almost Everytime I use cards
Very cool!
Great list! I would say the invisible deck . A beginner can perform this with min practice and is very strong! Mind blowing really. Also a good ACAAN
maybe more than minimal practice, it takes time to figure out how to do the calculations and to separate the selection
@@magicorthodoxy Your right David. To make the trick smooth definitely decent practice and can't ignore the presentation skills. Amazing card trick worth the work!
@@magicorthodoxy btw David did you see my request for your all time favorite tricks? Not just cards anything. I would love to see that as you have been around the magic block many times.
To answer your question, as opposed to giving you my entire list, I would have included MacDonald's Aces. This trick can be performed at the most basic level, and it fools and amazes the audience. It can also be performed at a much higher level. I am referring, of course, to Rick Jay's version, performed with Queens. He took a simple principle and elevated it to Royalty. Literally.
It's a great trick
This is a great video and appreciate the comments as well! I have some gaps to fill in!
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic top 10 list! What about ace assemblies?
totally should have had one
Id place the Biddle trick on this list aswell 😎
others agree with you
@@magicorthodoxy i must have done that trick thousands of times haha. It's my go to, anytime anywhere effect to perform
Lennart Green's FISM act is the reason I'm into magic. It can be tough to categorize some of it haha
man, wouldn't it be amazing to go to FISM
@@magicorthodoxy It sure would!
Howard Hamburgs Rising Card. That thing is INGENIOUS - a Fkin Beast of a trick
great suggestion
Card Warp, Cards Across, and Rising Card are 3 distinctive card effects/themes that should be on the list.
cards across for sure
Nobody ever picks one of my favourites, Magicians Insurance Policy. Always gets a good reaction! Cheers!
classic
"SLOP SHUFFLE" and all its variations.
love it
Ultimately card to wallet I Love to do. But best card trick in the world has to be.... Invisible Deck without a shadow of doulbt 😁Loving the Chanel as always 👍
yea, i'd put that in a "top 10 gimmicked decks" list
I don't see anybody mentioning 'Cards Across.' I think that deserves a top 10 spot. And if you need further convincing, checkout David Blaine's performance of Cards Across on Jimmy Fallon (the show with The Roots). He absolutely floored everybody! Plus, it's easy to do.
agreed
Was waiting for someone to say cards across. Absolute classic. For my money Las Vegas Leaper by P.H.
Otherwise pretty comprehensive list. Kudos.
Invisible Deck? Great list David but is it just for regular decks? As no matter how many card tricks I learn - the Invisible Deck still gets the best reaction..! 🙏😃
yea, just for regular decks
I think Card Warp due to its uniqueness
Card Warp is awesome
Paul Harris Las Vegas Leaper
card across is a great plot
i would personally put sandwich card effect in that list. but its a pretty solid list, a lot of tricks from the past decades are just variations of those ten basic effects.
sandwich is great
BWave should definitely have had a mention!
maybe, but that needs a gimmick
@@magicorthodoxy Did wonder but the inclusion of Chicago opener threw me, as it could be argued that does too! it can't be done with a borrowed deck without adding 'something'…
Hi David!
I almost agree with you list, also because I started learning some of those effect.
Let me ask a "noob" question: who is the magician performing the "on the hand 3cardMonte" in the recorded sample you included in your video?
not a noob question at all - that is the GREAT Patrick Page
@@magicorthodoxy Thanks! Now I see him
Nice
!!!!
I agree but yeah I think the ACCAN should have been added
me 2
" I know a card trick. I can show it to you. I Put 21 cards to 3 line..." 😉
.... tell me more
@@magicorthodoxy I think one line on the pattern after few times doing the rows goes: "No wait. I'll do it again...." And also: "Was this it? No, ok, one more time..."
Nick Trost for me is the GOAT for card tricks (his books)
I have his entire set !!!
The Gemini twins trick you described is different to the Gemini twins effect shown being performed by Michael Ammar ???
yes
Billon Dollar Brain a full mem deck reveal. A heavy mental lift, but so rewarding.
:D
