: I was just watching some T.V. magic shows I have on tape.
: When I seen an effect by Lance Burton that I thought was pretty
: good. He uses a mini-deck and by the end, he had changed it
: into a poker size deck. Cool huh? I was wondering if anyone
: knows what that effect is called? Any info would be greatly
: appreciated. thank Jb.

Sure, it is pretty cool. I figured it out by myself.
When the one lady is telling him when to stop in
deck, he does, but he doesn't show you the card he
was stopped on. He shows you the very bottom card
of the deck. Look at the tape again and watch closely.
Then...when he asked the other lady what the card was...
she wasn't supposed to know. When he is wispering the card
into her ear...he puts his hands under the table
and gets out a big deck. ALL YOU DO IS SPREAD
THE DECK SIDEWAYS!!! (Pretty cool) and it looks
like a little deck. But you must have just a few
"real" small cards at the end of the line. The rest
of them are already big!!! If you look closely...
you can actually see that all he is doing is turning
the deck right side up, so that you see the deck
normal. Then the couple of "real" small cards
are hidden at the end. And that's it. At least
to my knowledge. Hope that's not to confusing. It
won't be if you watch the tape. --MERLIN
