1. The audience chooses a suit from the deck. Each card in that suit is taken out and given to the spectator who SHUFFLES IT.
2. Then, they start dealing cards from their pile. Each time they deal a card, you’re able to cut the remainder of the deck AND INSTANTLY FIND THE MATE OF THEIR CARD.
3. This goes on, building to an impossible climax where you cause a chosen card to appear face up in the deck.
A torn card visually restores in an instant.

Justin Miller has taken a classic of card magic and tweaked every aspect of it to arrive at an absolutely beautiful, flawless routine. A card is selected and signed, before being cleanly and unmistakably torn, piece by piece, into a packet of four torn pieces.
“Armando never does tricks, he washes away from people’s soul the dust of everyday life, with real magic, decades of passion and emotional pieces of art.”
– Yif

– Dani DaOrtiz
“Armando Lucero is putting something out. That sentence is reason enough to get this. I met Armando years ago and with some coins, a deck of cards, and a close-up mat at a breakfast table- he changed the way I look at magic. Every breath, every sound, every micro movement that he does is so tediously thought out and deliberate. His hands and mind were built for miracles.”
– Dan White
“Armando Lucero, in addition to personally being my favorite magician, is beyond question the foremost sleight of hand performer and magical thinker in our profession. In 80 years, he is the only magician I have ever seen whose effects look like real magic.”
– Johnny Thompson
“A true master, my first teacher, and now you have the opportunity to let him guide you, too… don’t miss out on that opportunity.”
– Paul Vigil

A torn corner is shown inside a plastic bag, its identity unknown. A card is chosen by the spectator and lost in the deck. The magician takes the bag, shows the corner inside it to be blank. The spectator names their card and with a flick, the corner transforms into a corner of their selected card inside the bag.
Introducing THE best way to build a card magic foundation. Twenty years ago, Roberto Giobbi, card magic’s most distinguished author, wrote Card College, a series of books now considered THE Bibles on card magic. This video series is the next step.
In five volumes covering five major areas of card magic (Controls, Switches, Palms, Forces, False Shuffles), Giobbi teaches his favorite entries from Card College as well as new techniques not described in those volumes. If you have Card College and are studying it, this is the PERFECT video companion. If you’ve never read Card College, this series is like having Mr. Giobbi in your living room giving you private instruction.
