The effect

Here's how the effect is presented:

The magician stands with their back to the audience. The spectator takes the deck of cards out of its case and places both the deck and the case on the table. The spectator lifts a portion of the deck and counts the number of cards lifted. A few cards are removed from the lifted portion and placed back on the deck. The remaining cards are returned to the case. The magician cannot know the number of cards on the table, nor the number of cards in the case.

However, you can reveal both these numbers exactly!

Expert opinion

  • The Little Magician team in Sanary

    "Just the first round is like an atomic bomb."

  • Father Alex

    "Some people are undoubtedly more inventive than others - and Gérard is one of them - but curiosity and hard work are a significant part of the creative process. This book, "Estimations," is a shining example. You'll discover tricks, of course, but above all, you'll see how Gérard thinks and how he gets the most out of an idea known to everyone. By reading this book, you will learn how to push a principle to the point of making something new and surprising emerge from it."
