Created by: Martin Peirce, Ace Magic Studio, Alakazam Magic

Sweet FA Plus is a humorous and versatile card trick that offers two versions: one with a cheeky adult twist and a family-friendly alternative. The trick involves a spectator choosing a card from a deck where each card represents a different prize. Through a series of choices, the spectator narrows down to one card, only to reveal a humorous or unexpected prize. The family-friendly version ends with the spectator winning an amazing magic show, making it a perfect opener for performances. The trick is adaptable for any crowd, with the ability to switch between versions in seconds. It's ideal for close-up, walk-around, or table magic, and comes with everything needed to perform, including video instructions.

Effect

Sweet FA Plus is a humorous and interactive card trick where a spectator is led through a series of choices to win a prize. The magician presents a deck where every card has a different prize on the back—ranging from luxury vacations to cash rewards. After narrowing down the selection, the spectator turns over their chosen card to reveal a comically disappointing or cheeky outcome. The trick includes two versions: a family-friendly reveal (winning an "amazing magic show") and an adult-oriented punchline, making it adaptable for different audiences.

Full Details

Sweet FA Plus is a self-working trick that requires minimal sleight of hand. The deck consists of standard playing cards, each with a prize printed on the back. The magician guides the spectator through a series of choices (red/black, odd/even, etc.) to narrow down to a single card. The reveal is the twist—instead of winning a grand prize, they get a humorous or unexpected outcome.

The trick includes:

  • A full deck of prize cards (with both adult and family-friendly versions).
  • Multi-currency options (USD, GBP, EUR) for international performers.
  • Instant reset, allowing quick repetition.
  • Video instructions for learning and performance tips.

Who Should Consider the Trick

  • Close-up magicians looking for a strong opener or icebreaker.
  • Restaurant performers who need a quick, engaging trick for tables.
  • Comedy magicians who enjoy playful audience interactions.
  • Family entertainers (using the clean version).

Difficulty

Sweet FA Plus is beginner-friendly. No advanced sleight of hand is required, and the method is straightforward. The challenge lies in presentation—timing and audience management are key to maximizing the comedic payoff.
