The Blurb
Incredible. Impossible. Impromptu. A mind melting miracle with a borrowed shuffled deck!
THREESUM is a super direct and powerful routine with a regular shuffled deck. Best of all, as unbelievable as this may sound, it requires no setup, every selection is a genuinely free choice and it is 100% impromptu. This is all thanks to the ancient principle that has been unearthed and entirely reworked from the ground up to create this deceptive miracle.
Here’s What Happens:
The performer tells the audience that THEY will perform an effect. From a shuffled deck, any card is selected, remembered, then returned in the pack, which is shuffled further. The participant now removes ANY three cards from the deck and the values of each are summed. They count down to this number in the deck and miraculously find their chosen card at that EXACT position!
Key Points:
- No Forces
- No Gimmicks
- No Setup
- No Memorization
- No Difficult Sleights
- No Crimps (or any alterations to the cards)
- Different Outcomes Each Performance
- No Table Needed
So fire up the download, grab your cards and uncover the devious secrets of this impromptu gem!

JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
This is based on a very old card trick that you might be familiar with, but David Jonathan has taken this effect and completely updated it so that you would hardly recognize it. It is not as self-working or as sleight-free, but still easy to do with a bit of practice to get it down smoothly. If you don’t mind performing strong mentalism with playing cards, then this is indeed a gem to discover and use.
