-we are happy to offer this jaw-dropping predition routine by our own Danish FISM-Winner Mortenn Christiansen. The principle will make you smile from ear to ear and it is easy enough for any magician or mentalist to do. No equivoque, no multiple outs and the jumbo card AWLAYS matches the selected card.
This easy-to-do stunner from our own Danish FISM-Winner Mortenn Christiansen is one of the fairest and most impossible predictions you’ll ever see.
“Mortenn’s Jumbo Card Trick” is the perfect example of why many consider Mortenn to be one of the most creative magicians in the world. You’ll be smiling from ear to ear when you see how deviously simple the method is. It gives you full freedom to focus on your presentation and enjoy the type of interactions that make it impossible for an audience to forget you.
You hand a completely normal deck of cards to the audience to be shuffled. A jumbo card is also introduced and placed somewhere that will remain in full view. Once the audience is done shuffling, the deck is retrieved and you invite someone (or several someones) to help you choose a card in the cleanest and most direct way possible.
The deck is split into two halves. Your audience selects which one you will toss away (no equivoque). This is repeated until you have just a few cards left. These cards are spread and someone chooses the exact card they want. Despite how impossibly fair this whole process was, both the selection and Jumbo cards are turned around to reveal they perfectly match!
“Mortenn’s Jumbo Card Trick” uses an ingenious gaff that is self-contained within a custom-made jumbo card. This gimmick makes the routine easy to do, allowing you to put all your energy into creating an entertaining and memorable experience for your audience. If you don’t want to use the “toss away” selection process, you don’t have to. You really are just using a normal deck of cards. So you can have the card picked in any way you want.
Each set comes with a ready-to-go, professional gimmick crafted out from high-quality Bicycle cards, as well as expert video instructions that teach you everything you need to get the most out of this routine.
“Mortenn’s Jumbo Card Trick” works in nearly any environment from parlor & stage shows, to dinner parties, backyard BBQs and even close up.
Note: You don't need a hat to perform this, although it does look pretty cool.

“Mortenn’s jumbo card trick is awful. Muddied, bloated and completely impractical. I bought it out of pity, and perform it in every one of my touring shows just so I know what it feels like to fail. Don’t buy it. No one should buy it. And vanishing inc, can you stop selling it please? (Bwahahhaha! My secret plan of telling people this trick is terrible when it’s actually a stone cold killer so that I can be the only one performing it is working out perfectly. Bwahahahaha!!!)”- Piff the Magic Dragon
