“Blue Ridge Blowout”

“Blue Ridge Blowout” 

Idea from Juan Tamariz’ contribution to Harry Lorayne’s “Apocalypse” Vol 10, No. 7 and an 

extension from “Reds and Blacks” from The Royal Road to card Magic. 

When was the last time you saw a card effect that really made you say “WOW”. The effect we saw 

at the 30 Oct 2006 meeting had all of us saying “WOW”. Then we started doing what is really the 

best part of being a Magic Ring,…we started learning magic. By the time we finished with this card 

trick it had everything a good trick should have— a good plot, ease of execution, and a terrific 

impact on those who see it. We have mentioned that the wise magician never reveals his methods 

to the curious, and in describing this trick we reiterate this counsel, for, once you have told how 

simple the trick is, you have lost the use of a superb feat of card magic. ! ! 

The Plot: A magician introduces a deck of cards. Two spectators chose a card at random. The 

cards are inserted back in the deck and the deck is cut and separated into

two piles. The magician then locates the selected cards, with a wonderful surprise at the end!
