Portable Sandwich is an effect inspired by Dan and Dave’s Seduction card sandwich effect taught in their lecture tour. It is visual, direct and completely in the hands effect, suitable for performing situation where you do not have any surface to work on for your card magic. This effect was originally published in my first set of lecture notes, mundus vult decipi.
Effect
A deck of cards is shuffled thoroughly and almost instantly 2 black Kings appear right in front of the spectator’s very own eyes. One of the Kings is set at the bottom of the deck whereas the other remains on top. The deck is spread and Mary, the spectator touches on any card she desires. The selection is out-jogged for Mary to glimpse her card and she is allowed to push the card in squared with the deck. The magician explains that he will use the Kings to find the selection. With just a riffle of the deck, the top and bottom King visually vanish from the spectator’s view. The deck is spread to find the 2 face up Kings surprisingly sandwiching a face down card, Mary’s selection
Procedure
Start with the any mates on top of the deck with the top card face down and the other card face up (face-to-face). I would use the 2 black Kings in this explanation. False shuffle the deck of cards using the method you desire, maintaining the original order of the cards. Execute Lennart Green’s Top Shot to produce the Kings instantly.
After the production, set one of the Kings below the deck, with the other remains on top of the deck. The next part of the explanation, selecting a card and controlling it to the bottom of the deck, would be entirely based on Dan & Dave’s D.M.B Spread Control explained in one of their first sets of lecture notes, Nursery Rhymes 3, page 13. At the end of the control, you will have
(a) A face up King on top of the deck
(b) The rest of the deck
(c) A face up King second from bottom
(d) The face down selection at the bottom.
To sandwich the selection between the 2 Kings, execute a classic pass. The nature of the pass causes the top and bottom Kings to visually disappear in front of the spectator’s eyes very quickly. Show the top and bottom of the deck to prove that the Kings have disappeared, before spreading the entire deck showing that the selection in between the face up Kings in the deck. You are done with the effect.
