Two cards are freely selected and are then replaced into a shuffled deck. The deck is ribbon spread face down across the table, and a spectator takes an advertising card and freely inserts it into the spread, wherever she desires. The spread is flipped face up and the two cards on either side of the advertising card are the selections!
In addition to being a fantastic stab effect, Ad-jacent can also be used as an easy, fool-proof way of forcing two cards on a spectator.
Easy To Do No Sleight of Hand Comes complete with specially-printed cards on Bicycle stock made by The United States Playing Card Company! |

Card magic for everyone, from the self-working, hands off Self Control Lie Speller and the two-deck Mix and Match, to the commercial (and ribald) Under Her Spell. Paragon Poker offers a three-phase card cheating demonstration (with an unexpected double climax). Bait and Switch and Four Part Harmony are memorized deck masterpieces, and in his essay Memorized Math Simon continues his trademark in-depth analysis of memorized deck principles. Mark-a-Place Mates offers a flexible utility move, while Active Aces efficiently combines a visual vanish of the Aces with the Henry Christ Fabulous Ace reproduction. The 50 page treatise on the mental blockbuster Simon-Eyes is worth its weight in gold to the performing mentalist...plus Two Minds and a Mate, and lots more. 173 pages

O'Aronson Aces - Simon's amazingly visual handling of the O'Henry Ace plot, with an engaging poker presentation. At the climax, all four Aces magically land under the spectator's hand!

Prior Commitment - Two Jokers appear in the deck and locate two cards freely cut to by the spectators. But you won't believe the surprise climax: the Jokers have predicted the exact location of both spectators' free cuts! Simon's UnDo Influence principle is self-working, but so deceptive that you'll actually fool yourself with this one.
The Calendar Card - The birthday book plot updated, streamlined and with Simon's favorite presentation that plays big enough for the stage! Simon's subtle touches combine with a unique and colorful prop producing a commercial masterpiece.
Head Over Heels - A unique new move that both controls and reverses a freely chosen card - and it's easy to do. Simon explains several applications, including the Invisible Card and an in-the-hands Triumph!
Red See Passover - Simon's classic odd-backed, thought-of card across - a diabolical combination of methods that produces an exceptionally clean miracle with four climaxes! Michael Close says, 'Red See Passover is one of the five strongest card tricks you can do for anyone.'
Quadruple Spellbound - A spellbound routine with a difference: the coin changes four times! Close up, visual and clean looking magic! The one trick Simon performs most often!
Random Sample Shuffle-bored - Simon's Shuffle-bored has become a classic around the world. Even though two spectators freely shuffle and randomize the entire deck, the performer knows the exact face-up and face-down condition of every card! Here, Simon performs and explains his favorite, and most entertaining presentation! (Comes complete with special foldout prop).
And more .. Simon is known for his intensive explorations of the birthday book theme. As a bonus, he performs and explains Anytime Birthday Shopping (you can carry it in your wallet!) and Fate (the spectator freely chooses any card in the deck before announcing his birth date.)

Sessions With Simon: The Impossible Magic Of Simon Aronson - Volume 3 (Memorized Deck) - DVD
by Simon Aronson
Simon Aronson is known throughout the world for his pioneering work and writings on memorized deck magic. For over 30 years, Simon's innovative use of this esoteric tool has inspired some of the world's top professionals to recognize its deceptive power. Juan Tamariz says, "I regard my admired friend Simon Aronson as the one magician who has contributed the most to memorized-deck work since the time of Nikola. All of his tricks are models of analysis, creativity and subtlety."
Now, Simon presents the most in-depth demonstration and exploration ever of this powerful utility. Whether you're a total novice or an experienced practitioner, Simon has incredible lessons, insights, tips and tools to offer. Simon first presents a complete routine of memorized deck effects to show how they can flow together, with unique deck switches that allow the memorized stack to be rung in at any time. But that's only the beginning! In his clear, detailed and humorous way, Simon explains the separate principles of memorized deck magic utilized in his routines.
Starting off with the basics, there's a separate primer for those who have never been exposed to this exciting, arcane tool. It covers all you need to know, from how to memorize, which stack to learn, and how to practice. Although Simon's 'Stack to Remember' (the Aronson Stack) is perhaps the most widely memorized stack in the world, Simon doesn't try to push it on you - because this video is for all practitioners, regardless of what stack you might use. (Only two of the effects demonstrated depend on the Aronson Stack, and they both illustrate principles applicable to any stack).
Simon then thoroughly explains and explores a host of basic tools for the memorized deck, including contextual deck switches, the open index, stack preservation, restoration, retained groupings, use of mathematics, restacking a dealt stack, the S.A. Combination and so much more! You'll want to watch this again and again, there's so much information - and so many blockbuster memorized deck effects, including:
Shuffle Tracking (unpublished) Two Beginnings Christ-Aronson Aces (unpublished Routine Maintenance Everybody's Lazy Bait and Switch The Invisible Card Four Stop IntersectionIt's like a complete course in the memorized deck, taught by an acknowledged master!
"Simon's use of the memorized deck is impressive, and his locations are impossible to reconstruct even by those who use a memorized deck."
- Ed Marlo

Transform a signed card into an impossible object-that your spectator gets to keep!
You display both sides of a small printed Instruction Card for "The World's Greatest Card Trick" which you just received in today's mail and offer to try it out with the spectator's help. As you read off each step, the spectator follows the instruction. The instructions guide the spectator to select a playing card from a shuffled deck, sign its face, replace it in the deck and finally wrap the deck up in rubber bands, "magician-proofing" the pack. The spectator's signed selection remains in full view the entire time until it's cleanly buried in the deck. The spectator wraps the deck herself and then drops it into your jacket pocket.
The final instruction is then read, but it simply says "magically produce the card." Undaunted, you make a magical gestured over the Instruction Card-which you've been holding in plain view since the very beginning of the trick and when you turn it around, the other side is shown to have magically changed into the spectator's selected card, complete with their signature!
The Instruction Card is immediately given to the spectator to keep as a souvenir. It's an "impossible object" which she'll keep forever, a personalized memento of the time she witnessed "The World's Greatest Card Trick."
Memorable, humorous and totally baffling,
Easy to do (only one sleight required!),
Leaves the spectator with a permanent, personalized, impossible object
Side-Swiped comes with a detailed, 29-page booklet, fully illustrated by Tony Dunn which includes Simon's professional presentation and additional comments and variations along with enough cards specially printed by the US Playing Card Co. for 12 performances.
