I've been into card magic and flourishing for a while, but I really want to learn some good sandwich tricks. Any recommendations for where I can find them?
Good Recommendations for Sandwich Tricks
- Thread starter Harry Potter

Tony Chang just came out with "Sandwiches" about a week ago:

or

Bill Goodwin's Refelction has a few good sandwich tricks.
Daniel Madison's Dangerous DVD has a couple which are pretty nice.

d+M's Advocate: Sandwich is the only sandwich effect I've personally seen that provides a realistic justification for using two cards to find a third (NB: "These cards are policemen" or "These cards are special cards" or "These cards will find your card" don't count). In addition, it gives you the chance to perform a miracle beyond any sandwich effect, and even if that doesn't pay off, it allows you to perform a sandwich effect without ever touching the deck, with a spectator's named card only. The spectator never pulls out their card, and they never let go of the deck from before the trick starts.
It's not as "visual", cards don't "jump around" - but if you're performing magic, not feats of skill, it doesn't matter. This one has more potential than most to be magic.
Of course, it uses the Advocate gimmick, an interesting tool that can be used for multiple applications.

Sandwiches is good but will take a LONG time to master. You said you do flourishes, so I would recommend Crunk by Daniel Madison because it incorporates flourishes.

Two cards are cleanly shown and placed onto the spectators hands. AFTER this a card is freely chosen and almost instantly vanishes from the entire deck and appears BETWEEN the two they are holding! Superb stuff.
It is from the professional opportunist vol. 1
I personally enjoyed the series especially box clever, the first trick shown.

All of the recommendations mentioned above are all very good routines! However, on the DVD set called BLUFF, there is an amazing sandwich routine that has to be seen. Myself and Eric Jones had quite a bit of fun with this one night while taking a road trip to NYC...

As one will soon discover in their quest for finding sandwich tricks, the majority of them all have 2-3 different types of loads at most. That being said, you're probably best off with a good presentation and a basic load with the top card being the selection (controlled via your method of choice).
If you feel like messing with some hard sh*t, Tony Chang would be a nice option.
Just don't waste your money. Experiment with how you'd get a selection between two other cards, then experiment with making it ENTERTAINING.
Otherwise, it really doesn't matter. You could buy them all the sandwich tricks in the world and they wouldn't help you one bit.

I agree with sabor here, sandwich routines get tricky. Magicians really like sandwich routines but they're no good for spectators. Simple is better. And if you're going to have a couple phases, make sure it's logically progressive, otherwise there's no point.
