The Master Card Principle

[industrialchild]

So, I had some down time today and I popped in one of Eugene Burger's Chicago Tapes, I think it was The Reals Secrets of Close-Up Magic. Anyways, there was a superb Cutting the Aces routine in there, and it uses a gimmicked card that was developed in the 1930's by a magician called Will Deceive. It is referred to as The Master Card Principle. I will not expose how to make the gimmick, but I am interested in seeing how many of you have heard about it and played around with this idea. It is a fantastic way to control a card.

I'll be looking forward to hearing any thoughts and ideas that uses this principle.

Sincerely,
David
