Lewis Ganson – Matching the Cards Teach-In

Discover the secrets behind one of the most captivating card effects in magic history with Lewis Ganson’s Matching the Cards Teach-In. When Lewis Ganson asked Dai Vernon to name the best card effect, Vernon declared that ‘Matching the Cards’ was unparalleled, especially when performed for lay audiences. This sentiment is echoed by leading card experts worldwide, who have incorporated variations of this effect into their performances.

What is ‘Matching the Cards’?

The effect, rooted in the classic Magician’s Tricks by Hatton and Plate, is a masterpiece of misdirection and surprise. Here’s how it works: A spectator selects a card and places it face down without revealing it. The magician then attempts to cut to three cards that match the selection, revealing each as it’s found—for example, three Eights. When the spectator’s card is turned over, it’s a King, seemingly a mistake. But wait—when the other three cards are revealed again, they’re all Kings!
