Here is the video of Jimmy Molinari's lecture #1. Now you can see and hear Jimmy perform and explain all of the effects and sleights:

A Prediction
My signature effect at Mr. C's Magic Lounge. A spectator selects a card. The performer shows he has correctly predicted what card would be chosen. Then the spectator insert the selection into the deck and finds the other two cards of like value.

Four Ace Quickie
The four aces are lost into the deck one at a time using various shuffles and cuts. The performer riffles the deck and al four aces are back together on top.

Ace Trappers
The four aces are used to trap two selections one at a time.

The Vanishing Four
Twisting 1-2-3-4 type of effect. The twist is instead of an extra card, the last card vanishes.

The Computer Card Trick
The spectator selects a card which is lost in the deck. The deck is used like a computer to find the selection.

The Big Prediction
The spectator cuts a small packet of cards. Spectator counts how many cards were cut and uses that number to make a selection from the rest of the deck. Performer shows that he has correctly predicted what card the spectator would select.

Routined Poker
A gambling demonstration using riffle stacking and false deals. To the spectator's, this is as close to the real work as you can get.
