This is one of the most timeless plots in magic—so why does NOBODY perform it?

Dear friend, 

Have you heard of any of the following tricks?

  1. Triumph 
  2. The Ambitious Card 
  3. Twisting The Aces 

Well, around the same time that Dai Vernon was popularising these effects, world-class magicians were working on a plot that we believe should be just as famous…

You Find Your Card. 

As soon as we read the effect description, we were intrigued…

The spectator picks any card which is lost in the deck. They then select another card, turn it face up, and insert it into the deck. When the deck is spread you find the face-up card next to their selected card. 

The plot is straightforward, memorable and seemingly impossible—all the ingredients required for a classic. 

And if you’re anything like us, you probably DID learn a version of this effect when you were first studying magic.

But personally, we’ve never seen a top magician perform it or even talk about it.

This intrigued us, because we saw there was SO much potential to this plot if the method were simply reworked a little. 

Our question was this:

With a plot as timeless as the Ambitious Card, could we find a way to make the method so deceptive that both beginners and top professionals would swear by it?

Here’s what we came up with…

V1: The classic

The spectator picks any card which is lost in the deck. They then select another card, turn it face up, and insert it into the deck. When the deck is spread you find the face-up card next to their selected card. 

This version teaches Lu Brent's classic method.

V2: Annemann’s touches

While studying, we found a very similar effect that was published by Theodore Annemann. This effect is even more simple than the original, requiring just ONE move. 

(It can also be done completely impromptu!)

V3: Gaffed

The spectator selects a card and it is lost in the deck. Next you openly turn the top card face up and let the spectator place it in the deck. Without doing any extra moves or sleights, you spread the cards face up and the reversed card is found next to the chosen card!

We wanted to find a way to perform this effect while keeping the cards in full view the entire time. We realised that we could do so using some classic gaffs.

But is there a way to perform this effect in the open without gaffs?

That’s the next variation… 

V4: Same effect but not gaffed

The spectator selects a card and it is lost in the deck. You show them the top card and ask them to place it anywhere in the deck. 

When you spread the cards, both cards are found together!

V5: The ULTIMATE

The spectator simply names a card. Next, they take a face up card and place it into the deck. You spread the cards and show that their face up card has found the named card!

(This version may look different each time you do it but the above is 100% achievable and demonstrated in the product.)

Here's an extremely casual demo of this version that we filmed as part of the tutorial video, watch below...

Please, don’t overlook how powerful this effect can be, it’s a classic that’s survived this long for a reason. 

And with the right method, it can be incredibly deceptive. 

Just think about it for a second without your magician's eyes…this is how powerful this effect can be for a spectator: 

You name any card. You take out a card and turn it face up. You insert the card into the deck and discover your named card directly adjacent. 

We should say, this particular description is using our ‘ultimate’ method. But this type of effect is 100% accomplishable with the right amount of practice and uses ZERO gaffs and ZERO sleight of hand. 

Admittedly, the other methods are not this clean, but they’re equally as fooling for your spectator and so easy to perform you'll be ready to go in minutes.

So - how much does the project cost? 

Well, if somebody asked you how much you value triumph, the ambitious card or any of the other classic plots the number would be high right? 

Personally, these plots have become an invaluable part of our lifelong performing repertoire.
