Welcome to Theory11! It's hard to judge how many card tricks really exist. There are probably thousands of card tricks invented, including many variations.

There are two card tricks in the world. In the first trick the magician finds a spectator's selection in either a direct or roundabout away. In the second trick, there is no selection, just magic with cards.

Many effects and plots, but from an objective point of view. Only two tricks

that also makes total sense in saying there are only two

I think maybe he means categories, such as: Sandwich, Transposition, Color Change, etc.

Okay, a card trick is an effect.

card trick = card effect.

But i'm pretty sure u mean something else. Describe your question to us and give us an example

...must belong to different categories of effects. Therefore, it's important that we clarify what these categories are.

Appearance, disappearance, transformation, transposition, penetration, location, destruction and restoration, telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, telekinesis ----virtually all effects are variations of these.

Was just reading this over yesterday, it's a good answer I think. If you need examples of each king just ask someone, we can probably provide videos of each.
