Jennings? or Cervon?

[Philippe Billot]

Ah! Ah! It's more difficult that I think...

Maybe "Fat City" from John Bannon?

It is published in "Smoke and Mirrors" on page 35.

[Philippe Billot]

Yes Remco, you win!

Hello Phillipe, Ray Kosby has also a version of this plot on his DVD “Impossible Card Magic”
It is called “Pac Jacks”

[Philippe Billot]

Thanks Remco.

Smoke and Mirros was published in 1991
Video Impossible Card Magic was published in 2000.

Doesn't Darwin Ortiz have a similar effect ? I forget which book.

[Philippe Billot]

Yes, in Scams and Fantasies with Cards (2002), page 91 The Last Laugh

It seems like the whole deck between the sandwich cards was mostly treated as a gag or precursor - see Walton's Smiling Mule and variations thereof.

Bannon may have been the first to turn it into a core effect with the deck travelling to the sandwich cards at the denouement (and leaving the selection behind).

[Philippe Billot]

Thank you.

Let's say the gag in Walton's book That Certain Something (1976) is the premise which inspired Bannon.

Research go on !
