The Stained Glass Effect by Simon Caine (Instant Download)
Discover the magic of The Stained Glass Effect, a revolutionary card trick by Simon Caine that will leave your audience in awe. This instant download offers a seamless and engaging experience, perfect for both amateur and professional magicians.
Here’s how it works: A spectator borrows and shuffles a deck of cards. They select a card and commit it to memory—no forces, no mentions. A second spectator thinks of any number between 1 and 52. The card is replaced, and the deck is further mixed. Only after both spectators are satisfied with the randomness of the deck are the chosen card and number revealed (if they choose to share).
The performer never touches the deck. Instead, the second spectator counts down to their chosen number, and the first spectator reveals the card at that position. It’s The Stained Glass Effect—pure magic, no gimmicks.
- Spectator Shuffled Deck
- Deck can be Borrowed or Incomplete
- Impromptu
- Almost Entirely Hands Off
- No Stacks, Gimmicks, Memorisation, Forces, Peeks or Indexes
- Self Working
Note: This effect requires you to crimp one card in advance (if it’s your deck) or during a prior effect (if it’s a borrowed deck). You’ll also need to be able to cut to the crimped card.

The Stained Glass Effect by Simon Caine ( Instant Download )
A deck is borrowed from a spectator. The deck is shuffled by the spectator. They select a card and commit it to memory. Nothing is forced, no card is mentioned out loud.
A second spectator is thinking of any number between 1 and 52, the card is replaced and the deck is further mixed. Nothing is forced, no number is mentioned out loud.
Only after both spectators are satisfied with the random state of the deck are the freely chosen card and number named out loud (only if they want! This information can stay unknown to the performer the whole time.)
The performer does not touch the deck, and invites the second spectator to count down through the deck to the number she is thinking of. The first spectator turns over the card at that number to reveal the card she is thinking of. This is The Stained Glass Effect.
