Card Magic Plots?

[MagicShadow9]

Hey all, i'm looking for new card plots. I usually have my own version of each plot i like in my repetiore. So i'm trying to see if there are any i dont know yet. I currently know of these card plots:

Ambitious Card
Triumph
Color Changing Deck
Twisting the Aces
Hofziner's Aces
Oil and Water
Card to (pocket, wallet, mouth, etc.)
Card through (table, window, etc.)
Card under (glass, box, etc.)
Ace Cutting
Spectator cuts to the Aces
Torn and Restored Card
Card Stab
Coincidence
Mystery Card

Are there any more plots that i dont know of?

Cannibal Cards is a fun one

Macdonalds aces is a fun one.

Macdonalds aces is a fun one.

Thats a specific effect not a plot - Ace assembly is what you were looking for i believe.

Any card at any number

Would invisible palm be a separate plot?

 

[sourboarder]

gambling demos
sandwich effects not sure if this is actually a plot... sorry its it not.
robbery idea
torn and restored

 

[calledcrazy]

ace production?
transpositions

 

[Jupiter]

Paradox effects

I'm sure there are lots. Collectors is one. A poker deal is a type of gambling demonstration but a legitimate plot in and of itself. I'm not really sure what this plot would be called, but the plot of Vernon's Trick that Cannot be Explained has developed many variations over the years also. Then you have stuff like spelling tricks. Reset. Monte routines. Prediction plots. Cards across plots.

My apologies if something here has been aforementioned already.

This is a very vast subject. This thread is great.

What would you call the plot for the Queens? Vanishing?

This is a really interesting thread. I was going to start on one of my own on magic plots, but I did a search and found this one.

Lately, I've been trying to come up with a routine surrounding the plots of magic. There aren't that many plot in magic, but it's the job of the magician to create and story for the spectator... I guess as a teacher, I'm trying to give an overview of card magic using all of the fundamental plots.

I've really been wondering about the plot of the sandwich effect. How do you explain it? Every time I do it, I just say something like "I'm going to use these two Jokers to find your card", but I've wanting to expand on it a bit... I gues the same would go for collectors effects.

Nobody mentioned Out of This World. That is a general plot and multiple methods have been devised for it.
