Card Magic: What is your favorite sandwich effect?
Hey I'm a sandwich fanatic and was wondering what everybody else's favorite sandwich effect is. Mine would have to be Mike Gallo's "Direct Jack Sandwich" or LJ's,"The Visitor".

Re: Card Magic: What is your favorite sandwich effect?
Well, I've been told that my One-Eyed Jack Sandwich, which I published in the early 1960s, started the sandwich craze. Don't know whether I want to accept the credit or the blame! HL

I've got to second that. Done properly, that looks like real magic. Great trick.

Simon Aronson's "Among the Discards". Not the usual Sandwich but can be presented as one!

Is "the collectors" a sandwich effect?
- if so - the one using the pass to do the swap is my favorite.
not sure how to think about the visitor plot - without getting into fantasy sequences left out of an episode of the L word.

For pure visual magic, it's hard to beat "Monkey in the Middle".

Coincidentally, One-Eyed-Jack Sandwich is the one I've been using lately.
Re: Card Magic: What is your favorite sandwich effect?
Good for you, Kevin. I don't know the other sandwich routines mentioned here so I can't comment about them, but I do know that my One-Eyed Jack Sandwich is just about as direct as you can get. I also never considered a "collector's" routine to be a "sandwich" effect, but I guess you can look at it that way. If you do, check out Ose's (Collector's) Addition in the Close-Up Card Magic section of THE CLASSIC COLLECTION, Vol. 1 - as I mention there, that may have been the start of the "collector's" concept. Best - HARRY LORAYNE.

That's one of the reasons I started doing it. It is direct and could be considered a "Mystery Card" routine. An unknown card placed face down between the jacks to start the trick, turns out to be the card freely selected later. The selection could even be signed. One of my Favorites from Classic Collection.

This is a very strong effect, New Jack City by John Bannon [SMOKE & MIRRORS] - (I think its a sandwich effect)
"Two cards are selected and lost in different parts of the deck. The four Jacks then find the selections in an impossible way."

Re: Card Magic: What is your favorite sandwich effect?
All of the versions mentioned are worth doing. That being said, I still think that one should routine several effects into a synergistic presentation. This was the rationale behind SYNERGISTIC SANDWICHES.

Good call Jon.
Reinhard Mullers visible sandwich catch is a beauty that I use often. Convincing control works very nicely for the selection and control procedure in this.
Fishers search and destroy is another extremely strong approach based on a Larry Jennings routine from Richards Almanac, a collection of material I consider some of the strongest of the modern era. Hows Larrys book coming on Richard?
John Bannons fat city is a great way to end a series of sandwich effects. The whole deck appears in between the two jokers except for the selection. This was published in Smoke and mirrors.
An overlooked sandwich that is just lovely is Alex Elmsleys fiddle with the biddle in the middle from one of his complete works. This plays very strong with the layman.

One of the best and most direct sandwich routines is in Heirophnt: Jon knows which one I'm talking about since he saw me do it 25 years ago!

Direct Ace X Ace by Ed Marlo (5 methods)in Hierophant N 6, 1971 ?
I have a question :
In Genii, Vol. 6, N 4, dec. 1941, page 126, Julian J. Proskauer writes about a sandwich trick created by Hugard named Slippery Sleuths but I don't find it in the Potter's Index.
Who know where and when this trick was published ?

Re: Card Magic: What is your favorite sandwich effect?
Pleased to see that someone else also rates Elmsley's Biddle with a Fiddle.
I think Ortiz's Beyond Sleight of Hand is also worth a mention.
And Armando Lucero has a very intereresting approach which can be seen on his Japanese TV appearance

Re: Card Magic: What is your favorite sandwich effect?
With Jon Racherbaumer's suggestion in mind, I have been doing a two-phase routine for a few years now. Muller's 3-card Catch, lose the selection again and follow with Roy Walton's Mission Accompliced.
Michael Skinner had a 7 phase sandwich routine where the same selection is found over and over that first got me thinking along those lines.

Re: Card Magic: What is your favorite sandwich effect?
Ryan, do you know whether that 7 phase routine of Skinner's ever saw print or video? I'm especially keen on this, since I've been doing a six-phase routine for many years, and even included it as the only card item in the "Palms of Steel" Video series. ("Sandwich Marathon" from "Palms of Steel 3: Silverado" in case anyone's interested)

Curtis,
Skinner never published the sandwich routine to my knowledge but I learned it from a video made by a close friend of Skinner.

Just a note If you use Mr Lorayne's One Eyed Jack Sandwich out of Classic Collections as I do be sure to use the Halo Cut it makes it a even better routine.
