Turner Affect by PigCake

Created by: PigCake

The Turner Affect is a powerful and deceptive card control trick designed for close-up magic. From the spectator's perspective, a card is freely selected and lost back into the deck. Through a series of simple, mathematical procedures and cuts—often guided by the spectator—the chosen card is revealed in a surprising and impossible location, creating a moment of pure astonishment. This self-working effect requires no sleight of hand, making it ideal for impromptu performances in the hands without needing a table. Buyers should note that it's sold as a standalone digital download, and while the method is automatic, strong presentation and audience management are key to maximizing its impact.
