Lemon Party by Jack Tighe

Created by: Jack Tighe

Lemon Party is a captivating card magic trick, specifically an ace assembly routine, perfect for close-up performances. The magician displays all four aces, retains the Ace of Spades, and places the other three face down on the table. After dribbling the deck over them, the three aces vanish, only to reappear with the Ace of Spades in the magician's hand. This self-working performance piece doesn't require spectator interaction, making it ideal for polished, rehearsed shows. Buyers should note that while the trick is visually stunning, it assumes intermediate card handling skills, particularly familiarity with breaks and controls.

Effect

The Lemon Party trick is a variation of Jack Carpenter's "Blind Lemon Aces," an ace assembly routine. The magician shows all four aces, retains the Ace of Spades in hand, and places the other three face down on the table. After dribbling the deck over them, the three aces vanish and reappear with the Ace of Spades in the magician's hand. This is a performance-focused routine that does not require spectator interaction, making it ideal for stage or close-up settings.

Full Details

Lemon Party is part of the Jack Tighe Bundle #1, which includes five instructional videos. The trick is taught alongside other card techniques, such as the Soft ESP Control and Scissor Shift. The video provides both a performance demonstration and a detailed explanation of the method. The routine is designed for magicians who already have basic card handling skills, particularly in controlling and retaining cards.

Who Should Consider the Trick

This trick is best suited for intermediate-level magicians who are comfortable with card controls, breaks, and basic sleight of hand. It is not self-working and requires practice to perform smoothly. Those who enjoy ace assembly routines or want a visually strong, self-contained effect will find Lemon Party appealing.

Difficulty

Lemon Party requires moderate skill to perform convincingly. The trick involves retaining a card while executing a dribble action to make the other aces vanish. Magicians should be familiar with maintaining breaks and controlling cards. David from Magic Orthodoxy notes that while the moves are not overly complex, they do require practice to ensure a clean performance.
