Discover the magic of Self Guided Tour, a unique and engaging card trick that goes beyond the cards themselves. This isn’t just a trick—it’s a journey into the personality and desires of your spectator. Whether you use postcards, tarot cards, photographs, or playing cards, this trick adapts to your style and personality.
Imagine this: You guide your spectator through a series of paintings, mixing them up and letting them choose one that resonates with them. Through a series of shuffles, they end up with the very painting they connected with—as if by fate. It’s a moment of magic that leaves a lasting impression.
Why Choose Self Guided Tour?
- Versatile: Use any type of cards or images to fit your performance style.
- Engaging: Connects deeply with your audience, making the experience personal and memorable.
- Challenging: While it requires some sleight-of-hand and memory work, the payoff is worth it.
- Educational: Includes easier versions for those just starting out.
As Rick Lax himself says, “I believe that if you were to go to a museum and walk around, from room to room, randomly, you’d end up at the painting you’re SUPPOSED to see. As if by fate.” This trick is your chance to prove that fate is real.
Mastering Self Guided Tour isn’t just about fooling people—it’s about creating a connection that they’ll never forget. With credits to legends like David Copperfield, Chris Kenner, and Max Maven, this trick is a must-have for any magician looking to elevate their performance.

It’s a card trick that’s not about the cards. It’s about the person—your spectator. It’s about her personality, her desires. So maybe it’s more than a card trick…
You can perform Self-Guided Tour with postcards, tarot cards, photographs, or playing cards. Whatever fits your personality and style. I use postcards from the Louvre, and my presentation goes like this:
“I believe that if you were to go to a museum and walk around, from room to room, randomly, you’d end up at the painting you’re SUPPOSED to see. As if by fate. And I’m going to prove it to you right now.”
I show the eight paintings one at a time, and then I mix them up. I hand the stack to the spectator and ask her this:
“When I showed you those eight paintings, did you click with any of them?”
The spectator names one and I ask her to remove seven of the postcards using the down/under shuffle described at the start of the trick. She does this…and she ends up with one postcard (and one postcard alone). She turns it over. It’s the painting she wanted. As if by fate.
Self-Guided Tour is a piece of strong magic. It’s not easy, but it’s worth the work. Because once you’ve got the trick mastered, you won’t just fool people, you’ll connect with them.
TIP: Self-Guided Tour uses sleight-of-hand and memory work. As I perform it, it’s not an easy trick. Though, easier versions are taught on the download.
