In 1942, magician Paul Curry invented a card trick that would take the world of pasteboard sorcery by storm. Dubbed Out of This World, this effect, where a spectator separates the red cards from the black ones without looking at them, featured a very rare combination of an extremely powerful effect with an almost self-working methodology and quickly became the most talked-about card trick of its time.
Curry later recalled that the concept of the trick came to him in about 15 minutes and he didn’t understand why it would fool magicians. But, fool them it did! Curry’s brainchild has become one of the most famous card tricks of all time and in fact, in the famous Genii-Orben poll, was voted as one of the greatest tricks in magic history. What’s more, it can now be a part of your own repertoire as an anytime, anywhere, any deck miracle.

Of the many varied plots in coin magic, the ones that seem to most intrigue creators and performers the most involve coins that travel invisibly from one hand to the other. In some tricks, the coins gather and in others they completely transpose, but the basic effect involves coins traveling invisibly through the air. Two of the most popular variations of the plot are the fabled Tenkai Pennies, the creation of Japanese magician Ishida Tenkai, and Millken’s Transposition, named after its inventor, Harry Milliken.
As a magician, you’ll be asked constantly to “do something,” and mastering either the Tenkai Pennies or Millken’s Transposition (or both!) offers an opportunity for you to always be ready to perform an impromptu miracle.

In 1962, British magician Peter Kane invented a trick that he named Watch the Ace! The effect was reworked and subsequently renamed Wild Card by Frank Garcia and very quickly became a sensation in the magic world. In fact, the Magic Dealers Association named it as the best-selling card trick for 1963, and with good reason. Very few effects in card magic are as visual as Wild Card, where several different cards successively change to match one odd card.
Wild Card belongs on the very short list of tricks that look like real magic to laypeople and on this DVD, you’ll find seven of the very best versions of this effect ever created.
- Signature Wild Card – Steve Dacri
- The Tamed Card – Tommy Wonder
- Blanco – Harry Allen
- Jokers are Wild – Eric De Camps
- Wild Wild Card – Boris Wild
- Darwin’s Wild Card – Darwin Ortiz
- Curse of the Gypsies – Scotty York
