Small World by Patrick Redford – Video Download

An impossible card separation — performed by the audience itself!

Small World by Patrick Redford is a powerful three-phase card routine that creates the illusion of an extraordinary feat of intuition and order. The audience takes an active role in separating a small shuffled packet of black cards from red cards, all while the cards remain face down.

The routine builds toward an astonishing finale: the audience matches the numerical order of the black cards with the numerical order of a completely unseen stack of red cards!

What makes this effect so deceptive is its simplicity. The spectators feel as though they are making the decisions themselves, yet the final outcome appears impossibly organized.

Why You'll Love Small World

• Three-phase routine: A structured performance that builds to a powerful conclusion.

• Audience participation: Spectators take an active role in separating the cards.

• Easy to perform: No complicated sleight of hand is required.

• Looks impossible: The cards remain face down throughout the separation process.

• Alternative methods: Explore additional approaches to the routine.

• Bonus color separation: Includes a special full-deck color separation not originally taught in the book.

More Than Just Playing Cards

The concept behind Small World is versatile and can also be applied to ESP symbols. Instead of separating red and black playing cards, you can use two colors of ESP symbols and match their symbols or values in a similarly surprising routine.

This opens up possibilities for performers who want to explore card magic, mentalism, or experiments involving intuition and apparent order.
