Super Cards Across - The Classic Plot Perfected for Modern Performers
Some magic tricks are complicated. This one is pure genius in its simplicity.
Super Cards Across takes one of card magic's most beloved effects and strips it down to what really matters: a crystal-clear, impossible moment that spectators can see, feel, and verify themselves.
The Effect That Sells Itself
Two spectators each get a packet of 10 cards. Count them out, spread them, verify them. One spectator simply thinks of a card from their packet. No forces, no funny business.
Then the magic happens.
Three cards invisibly travel from the second spectator's packet into the first. When they count again, the second spectator now holds only 7 cards. The first spectator has 13 cards in their hands, including the exact card the second spectator was merely thinking of.
No suspicious moves. No difficult sleights. Just clean, direct, impossible magic.
Why Magicians Love Super Cards Across
This isn't just another card trick. It's a working professional's dream come true.
The method is brilliantly practical. Setup takes seconds, and the handling is so easy that you can focus entirely on your presentation and connecting with your audience. If you can deal cards, you can perform this effect confidently.
After you deal out the packets, you can openly spread and count the cards to prove each spectator has exactly 10. No sneaky displays or awkward procedures. Everything looks exactly as it should.
Here's where it gets even better: after the cards travel, your spectators can do the counting themselves. They deal out their own packets and discover the impossible has happened in their own hands. When spectators verify the magic themselves, the impact multiplies tenfold.
Plays Big Anywhere You Perform
Super Cards Across adapts beautifully to any performing environment. It plays huge in parlor settings where everyone can see the action clearly. Yet it's equally devastating in intimate close-up situations. The effect scales perfectly to your venue.
Whether you're a professional entertainer building your show repertoire or an enthusiast who loves amazing friends and family, this trick delivers consistent, powerful reactions every single time.
A Classic Plot Made Better
Cards Across has been a cornerstone of card magic for generations, and for good reason. The plot is inherently strong, the magic is easy to follow, and audiences instantly understand the impossibility.
Super Cards Across honors that legacy while making everything cleaner, easier, and more reliable. This is the version you'll actually perform, not the one that sits in your drawer because it's too complicated or angle-sensitive.
