Video Demonstrations from Natural Card Magic
Ace Cutting
There are two ace cutting sequences described in the book that make use of the principles taught. The routine in this video is a re-telling of John Scarne's ace cutting story, for which I use the second of the two sequences taught in the book. This routine is done with a borrowed and shuffled deck, and without the use of any kind of crimps. |

Lucky Poker Deal
A poker deal using a small group of cards, which also includes an impossible location of a selected card. This routine requires no setup apart from removing the group of cards from the deck, and the performance of the routine automatically facilitates setting up a borrowed deck for other tricks also taught in the book. |

Blind Location
This is a very simple and relatively easy application of the principle in the book. From a regular deck without any markings, a selected card is shuffled into the deck by a spectator, and the magician is able to deal through and stop exactly on the selected card. |
