Hi All,

Just wanted to know, what is your favourite packet tricks?

I'm looking for the one which is quite funny in presentation and entertaining ^_^

You can find a variety of good funny packet tricks in volume 3 of michael close's Workers DVD. I was looking thru the list and found all of them to be just as entertaining.

I use to have a packet trick that i love very much but cannot remember what is the name. Is the routine is like this.

1) Showing 4 joker to audience.
2) One by one the joker turn face down by itself.
3) Then when the cards is turn back face up, all the 3 kings is missing from their bicycle and appear on only Joker. (Meaning the 4 kings on one bicylce.)

This packet trick is very entertaining and good for both the adult and the kids.

I am not sure if this packet trick is still available in the market.

My Favorite trick is Daryl’s Ultra Monte. It just uses three cards and it is very interesting how the Black ace is impossible to locate in the cleanest environment.

It is easy to learn and only one technique required learning, that is “how to display the cards”, rest is self working.

I keep it always in my wallet so I can use them any time.

Skysiew, I believe you are talking about Entourage?
I have that and used it pretty often. It's in my wallet all the time. It is a very strong and direct piece of magic and can be really entertaining with the right presentation.

Shufi...

That does not sound like entourage.

Entourage involves 6 cards. 1 joker at the top of pile and 1 joker on the bottom of pile. Both are faced up. The four cards in between are face down.


I perform entourage a lot, and it is one of my favourite pocket tricks I carry in my wallet all the time. I change the patter depending on who I perform for. Highly recommend it. (By the way, I just performed it three times this evening)

Good for table hopping as it is a quick reset.

One of the patter I use is as follows: I proceed to tell a cute story about a king that is going to get married. My volunteer is to pretend that he is the king. He has four wives to choose from. The queen of heart, diamond, club and spades. He can only marry one. I will then ask the volunteer to name his favourite queen. (no force) I then ask him to choose his favourite queen out of the four face down cards. But there is a catch. Earlier that day, he wakes up with sore eyes. So he cannot see his queens properly. So the only way to find his queen is ... by touch. He feels the face down cards, and slowly eliminates the cards he does not think is the named queen he chose earlier on. After he has eliminate three out of the four face down cards, I turn that face down card over to show that it is indeed the queen he wanted to marry. 1 in 4 chances. The volunteer is usually surprised. Then I ask the volunteer if he wants to see something even more amazing. I then congratulate him for knowing his queens so well that when he touches the rest he knew that there was something wrong. He knew that they were not queens at all. They are all jokers. (I slowly turn over the 3 eliminated cards one by one and reveal that they are all jokers too).

Very easy to perform (no difficult sleights) and packs a nice surprise ending. Telling them to feel the Queens body and knowing their favourite Queen by touch often gets a good laugh. I was doing this fluently 15 mins after getting it out of the packet. I have been using it regularly for the past 2 years. My packet is already so worn out that it is turning a bit brown and worn down at the edges. Worth getting. I'm looking to get a replacement set over the next month or so.

Haha! I must be really sleepy. I only skim through the post, and when I saw "4 jokers", entourage was the packet trick that came to mind. My mistake. Time to get some sleep! =)

But anyway, I like entourage!

Shufi, I think is called the " Bicycle for four" something like that.

Its Bicycle Built for Five. Alvin is selling it now at the marketplace! :D

Loyalover.. you are the man... really try to think hard for the name... you right... the name is bicycle built for five.... my favourite packet trick.

Thanks
