Beck and Card

Coming in the JAMM #3

Beck and Card

This is the best version of the ambitious card I've ever seen. I can say that because it's not my trick. 

This is definitely a more traditional performance piece and would fit perfectly into any walk-around/table-hopping situation where the normal ambitious card would work. 

Except it's not a normal ambitious card. In fact, while it's the structure of an ambitious card, the trick is not really about a card rising to the top of the deck over and over. 

Not only that, but incorporated in the trick is an almost unlimited potential for humor. With a table of four or more people you will often have to actively make sure things don't fly off the rails. 

And it leaves them with a uniquely signed card that literally every table will take and keep as a souvenir. 

Created 15 years ago by a friend of mine, and honed over 1000s of real-world performances by another, the details of this routine will be released here for the first time anywhere. 

Support this Site

The readers of this site are a little community. A little community that just happens to be widely spread out all over the globe. I spare you having to deal with an actual online community and just absorb everyone's feedback myself and filter it back out to everyone. It may seem like a one-man operation, but it's not. It's a little village. A village in our minds.

TheJerx.com is the village newspaper. Support it so the village can stay around (it's the village's only industry). You support it by subscribing to The JAMM (the village's monthly magazine). 20 pages a month of tricks and reviews.

"That's okay, Andy. I'm content just reading the village newspaper."

Uhhhhhh... yeah...you know that newspaper doesn't just spring from the ground, right? There's a dude working on it all the time. So if you like the site and you have $10/month to help keep it around, please consider supporting the village paper even if you're not someone who need's the JAMM, the Jerx Deck, and other bonuses to come.
