Boy Meets Girl Trick

A Card Trick for People Who Do Not Like Card Tricks!

Several effects using specially printed cards. Spurred by an idea from cartoonist-magician Kirk Stiles, several magic legends contributed methods using these unique gender symbol cards. 

Basic Effect, (Six are taught) - A bunch of cards are shown to have symbols printed on them, half the cards bear the Female symbol, and the others bear the Male symbol. The cards are shuffled by the spectator  and dealt out into what would seem to be random pairs. Yet when the pairs are disclosed, each has a male and female symbol-Boy Meets Girl. This idea by cartoonist Kirk Stiles uses the Gilbreath Principle, but Six other tricks are included in the printed instruction booklet. Patter suggestions and all cards are included.

Contributors include Ted Annemann, Martin Gardner, Norman Gilbreath, Max Holden, Bob Hummer, Stewart James, Peter Kane, Millard Licter, Ed Marlo, Jay & Frances Marshall, Gus Southall, and Oscar Weigle, Jr.

Skill Level: Intermediate. Suitable for ages 14 to adult.
