The Stolen Cards: Limited Edition
The Stolen Cards: Limited Edition is a jaw-dropping coincidence built around a familiar prop with a curious twist. You introduce a pack of cards with 52 different backs, and explain that each one has been stolen from a different pack.
You hand your participant a matching pair, say the red Sixes, and have them begin dealing cards face down, stopping whenever they wish to insert one of their selections. After doing this twice, you spread the cards and remove the cards right next to the red Sixes. Amazingly, each selected card has landed beside cards with matching backs, just in a different color.
But that's just the beginning. They turn over the matching backs to reveal that the faces match as well! For a final, mind-bending kicker, you spread the entire deck to show that every other card is the Ace of Spades. They found the only matching cards in the entire pack! Don’t worry, everything is fully examinable, and you barely ever have to touch the cards.
This powerful, three-phase coincidence routine is almost completely self-working and is perfect for beginners or advanced magicians. You’ll receive everything you’ll need to perform this powerful effect, as well as video instruction from Lennart Green, Takumi Takahashi, and Hanson Chien. They’ll teach you not just the basic routine, but advanced ideas and practical handlings for everyday performance.

Customer reviews for The Stolen Cards: Limited Edition
Not good! The trick is exactly what I expected after reading the promo info. I don't remember Gemini Twins, but this is solid, fooling magic. A double force with a great kicker ending. Easy to do.
But . . .
I don't like the back designs. I was hoping for various casino backs from old or non-existent casinos.
Instead, the back designs are crazy loud, bright, kaleidoscopic looking. Like magic props. But I can live with it.
However, the kicker ending was supposed to be all Ace of Spades. Mine is 4 of Hearts. Not as good. But every 4 of Hearts is different, and NOT in a good way. Some are black, some grey, green, blue-on-black. Why? When I do a final spread, all I get are blank stares and questions. Why is one card black? How could you play with these cards? Why are hearts black or grey instead of red? I want a visual ending where it is immediately obvious that the other 48 cards are ALL the SAME! The ending is ruined in my opinion. I then "fixed" it by removing the most offending cards (10). Repeat with a 42-card deck. Better ending, but why not 48 identical Ace of Spades? The kicker is weak. Not sure I will use this.
