Magic Video - Paul Gordon - Twin Peeks
Description & Effect
Prepare to amaze your audiences with 'Twin Peeks' by Paul Gordon, a mind-bending card miracle that delivers a truly impossible double revelation. This digital download provides you with the complete method for an effect so clean, so direct, it will leave spectators utterly speechless. Imagine this: two decks are introduced, one of which the spectator places securely into their own pocket. The performer takes the other deck, shuffles it, and then invites the spectator to merely 'peek' at any single card – a completely free and unforced selection from all 52 possibilities. There are no limits, no subtle nudges, just pure, free choice.
The Unforgettable Effect
What follows is nothing short of magical. The performer, without any apparent knowledge of the peeked card, not only names the spectator's freely chosen card but also declares a specific number between one and fifty-two. The spectator then retrieves their previously pocketed, untouched deck and, with anticipation building, counts down to that very number. To their astonishment, the card at that precise position is revealed to be their exact, freely peeked card! This dual revelation – the card's identity and its precise location in a deck they've held – creates an unparalleled moment of wonder.
Effortless Mastery for Any Performer

Original Specs
Two decks are on the table. The spectator places one in his pocket while the other is taken by the performer and shuffled. The spectator is asked to "peek" at one card. (This is a free choice of all 52 cards, no force.) The performer then dramatically reveals the name of the card plus names a number from one to fifty-two. The spectator takes out the second deck from his pocket and counts down to that number. It's the same as the freely chosen card!
There is no memory or sleight of hand involved at all.
Ideal for all performing situations.
