Mad Card Disease
The Magic Homework video series is all about pulling books off the shelf and trying out some tricks. Let's take a look at an effect from the madness of David Acer.
Magic Homework #11 Mad Card Disease
from Random Acts of Magic (2004)
"Mad Card Disease" can be found in David Acer's Random Acts of Magic (2004) Before that it was sold individually at his lectures.
Extra Credit
For a bonus effect, a random act of happenstance, I stumbled on to Phil Goldstein's "Tearable" from Focus (1990) which is a book exploring tricks using a minimum number of playing cards.
Card Quarantine Envelopes
A printable page of four envelopes which can be cut-out, folded, and taped/glued.
