The Vanishing Card Trick
Wednesday, April 8th, 2009 running time 11:47
Learn how to make a card vanish and land in the most unlikely location.
Effect: A card is randomly selected, vanishes from the deck, and appears inside your shoe!
Secret: this one's a really killer effect, but takes just a little bit of work to set up properly. Start by picking out a face card (we used the jack of hearts), and put some doublestick tape over the busy part of the design. Place this card on the bottom of the deck, and a duplicate of the same card (from another pack) inside your shoe. You're ready to go.
To select the card, start running through the cards, pulling them off the top of the deck (as shown in the episode... this is the part that will take just a little bit of practice). When your mark says "stop," show him the bottom card of the deck (the one with your doublestick tape). After he's got it memorized, drop the cards back on to the pack (sticking your gimmicked face card to the next card down).
Next, spread all the cards to reveal their card to be missing... and finally, pull off your shoe, reach inside, and reveal their selected card!

Great episode, love the way you make the jack vanish from the deck. Its a very clean trick and messing with their mind just makes it that much funnier.

Great episode. Cool effect with an unconventional method. I would've never thought about double-stick tape keeping the card hidden.
Plus the participants were great sports. I love when Brian acts the drunk mark.

I must becoming an advanced student, I had this one figured out before the reveal, I saw the false shuffle that would force the card on the bottom. Other than the fact it takes a little prep this is a great card trick!!!

i love the presentation of this trick, the whole, "you never seen that card" "are you sure?". its adds a whole new spin on the trick! how ever i'm not a fan of using tap or other props on a card trick. heres how i'd due this trick, even tho it is a lot harder.
start with the selected card on the bottem, with no tape on it. do the fake shuffle same as before, when it comes time for the person to select their card, do your fake shuffle, force their card, then pull all the cards except one off the top of the deck into the pile in the other hand, this should look like the shuffle you just did, then put your hand with their card in it on top of the deck, if you don't make a big deal out of it they arn't likely to realize.
now their card is on top of the deck you need to do a fake over hand shuffle, to do this i'd stick my thumb over the top card and pull almost all of the deck out from the bottem. and then do an over hand shuffle of those cards, this will put their card near the bottem of the pile (if your really good you can get their card to be second from the bottem) now just keep taking the upper part of the deck and over hand shuffle it till the other people think the card is lost in the deck. now fan thru the cards, be careful at the start not to show the selected card at the start. then you can spread out the cards on the talbe leaving the end of the deck poorly spread out so their card doesn't show. before they start going through all the cards break their attention by telling them the location of the card! tada win some beer.
this method is alot harder to pull off than the other one, mainly due to the spread. as well when you tell people that their card is no longer there, they like to carefully go through the whole deck, try to beat them to the punch.
i'll try to upload a youtube video outlining how to do this trick with out the tape to clear things up.

At this point, you could also time delay or be sneakier so they forget their card is on top, then do the spread, but be sure to not fan out their card, keep it under the second to last card in the spread, then move on to the reveal.
