Pluck

Noel

How did I miss this?! Any new Christian Grace trick gets my vote. I bought Level One last year and have loved playing with it. I was just scrolling through the list of downloads and came across this. I was really fooled.... so I had to pick it up. I'll be honest, I was worried that it was going to be really difficult... but it's not! I can already do it!

Good trick. Great price.

Harper

Really great trick. Clear instruction too.

Jake

This is genius, the explanation is super clear and easy to understand. The trick is so clever, you will not regret picking this up!!

Regan

This is unbelievable! Christian has done it again.

Max

I believe that Christian is the most underrated talent in the magic community.

Pluck fooled me badly when Christian first showed it to me, and, like all of Christian's original effects, the method is brilliantly thought-out. You should buy this. Really, you should buy anything that Christian releases.

chris

Really clever effect, Christian teaches some very cool, very practical principles that can be applied in other work too.

Craig

This is a great effect. The explanation is very thorough but still concise. There are several moves, but none difficult. The deck is ungimmicked, and examinable at the end (although there's no reason the spectator would care to). Bonus: Christian's instructions literally include him saying "Keep Calm and Carry On." It might become my new ringtone.

Daren

Erm right ok... buy it enough said already!!! Excellent download! Ok more than enough said!!!

This is amazing and is sure to leave a lasting impression on your spectator!

There's a known principle in magic where when it appears that even the magician is out of control of the situation, it makes magic that unfolds even more impossible.
The effect allows you to orchestrate just that. A seemingly random and unforeseen situation that allows you to twist it around the spectator's story creating an absolute miracle!

The method is very clever too and Christian gets into every detail too! This should surely be in your arsenal!

Philo

This is so amazing and not that hard to learn ... Christian is a amazing person and all he’s releases are unique!!!! Thanks my friend ... peace Philo

Paul

I'm basically going to give Christian all the money for anything he releases. His tutorial videos are so intricate and detailed; and he is such an approachable gentleman for help/future ideas of tricks.
Keep it up, Christian!

Richard

This is an amazing effect! A fantastic concept and has a super clever structure going on. Christian has done it again with this one / I have used Level One many times and this effect is definitely up there with that it my opinion. Just buy it, do it and you will blow your audiences away. Love it!

bhaskara

This download is very good, clever method, clear instruction and a lot of options could be applied here. Well done

Kristian

Absolutely perfect, its quite easy to do and while it says it involves maths, all the math is basically self working and doesn’t involve any calculations you could mess up, it is truly genius and once you learn the method you can customise it to your liking if you dont want it to be appear at 26, and even though there is a little set up it can be done in front of the audience member and takes less than 10 seconds, if you are considering buying it, dont wait just do it, you will not regret it!

Ian

Saw Christians clip and thought no way. Bought it immediately. Sneaky bugger strikes again. This is fantastic. Well worth the money. If you have any of his previous releases you what a fantastic thinker he is. Instructions are clear and cover every eventuality.

Just buy it.

Andrew

A real gem! What an amazing trick. I have been performing it and it gets such amazing reactions!

David

With some basic card control this is a miracle - I especially like magic goes wrong effects and this is a disarming and charming version.

Lots of thought has gone into this to allow all scenarios which gives confidence to perform quickly too.

Great work.

Christopher

Awesome stuff yet again Christian! It is hard to come up with a trick that is this much fun to practice!

George

Very Cheeky indeed

Anoop

Another excellent Download from Christian Grace. I cannot wait to perform this.

Stuart

Very easy to understand; good video quality. You might think it’s hard to pluck, but it’s not. If you can dribble, you can pluck. Really nice surprise ending. Good build-up and impact.

Lou

Great trick! Very easy to do. Explanation includes all the variations.

Philo

Christian Grace is so creative and clever... this effect is so great and easy to learn... have fun with Pluck!!!
Greetings Philo

Jean

Garry

A great card trick, just do a very easy part deck set up, just using severall cards, follow the method, as this is explained in the video tutorial.
Its a full proof card trick, even if the trick goes wrong, the spectator will not realise this, and you can carry on, and you still do the trick, as there are severall variations in the method.
Its Brilliant.

Stefano

Brilliant and full of ideas to create multiple variations! Very well explained and simple to make.

Frederik

This is very nice trick. There's a little bit of practice, but that's all. :)

Justin

Dennis

I love this trick and the instructions are clear and helpful!

Andreas

Loving it! It will take you a bit to get the "move" down (not sure if I would even call it a move), but definitely worth the practice. This could be your next "Show me a trick" trick or something even bigger. Chris does a great job teaching everything (as always). Definitely recommending it.

David

Ben

This is pure genius!!!!!

PETER

Christian Grace is both a genius and a thoroughly nice person at the same time - so rare in magic!

jordan

Very easy to follow plus all outcomes are covered in detail

Elliot

A great effect with a smart method

Taught extremely well, goes into detail about everything.

I use it professionally quite often, Well worth the money.

Elliott

Christopher

Very impressed with Christian's instructions. I started learning tricks at the age of 12. Only spent about 4 years at it and lost touch until a month or two ago. Love this site. I continue to get lost watching the videos and cant wait to re-learn my childhood passion for magic.

Nathan

This is such a good, entertaining video. I have learnt much from it and will continue to do so for some time. A video you can continuously go back to. Great watch. A must but for most magic people! You should buy it now!!

Patrick

It`s a wonderfull effect!

Daniel

Very detailed explanation although the routine requires additional card-handling skills. Yet with practice, this routine can generate some exceptional magic

Didier

So God so Nice so beautiful ??????

Nicholas

The teaching in this video is methodical and covers all the bases. You learn to do exactly what it says that is to pluck the cards from the deck. The set up is straightforward all you need to do as with all magic is practice. If you are willing to put the work in this is an effect achievable by most people including beginners. Personally After learning the effect I decided I was for me that isn't because the effect was bad it just doesn't suit my style, but I enjoyed the learning process.

Matthew

Jarkko

Jack

another brilliant effect from christian grace!

Jay

This trick is excellent and surprisingly easy to do. Though there is a small setup beforehand, the effect of Pluck is well worth it. The explanatory video is excellent as well, covering every possible outcome for the "plucking" card grab.

Rolf-Kenneth

A absolute wonderfull trick. Very impressive and not difficult to do. Bravo

Liam

Edward

Wish the instructional video spent a couple of minutes on the physical subtleties of the plucking process:(

John

Darren

This is a very fun trick to do! It is very easy to do and also offers a sleight free version if needed

Eugene

I watched Christian do this at MAGIC Live, was blown away, and was super-excited to get my hands on it. Very easy to do and the audience impact is incredible. The setup is very easy, as is the reset. There are no gaffs or gimmicks, so you can do this with a borrowed deck and you are left 100% clean at the end. If you do any card work whatsoever, you should definitely add PLUCK to your repertoire. Bravo Christian, this is a winner!

Brian

Lisa

Milan

Fun trick! Original

Jason

Picked this one up at the half off sale price. One of the best tricks I have purchased. And I have purchased a lot. The effect is superb and the method involved is almost as impressive as the actual effect.

Simon

Masood

Great bit of card magic well done Christian

Nigel

I was fortunate to receive a choice of a download for my birthday from VI and Pluck was at the top of my list! Christian continues to deliver quality card effects and is one of the nicest guys in magic with a brilliant magic monthly sub site too. If you get the chance to see Christian demo, ask him to show you Pluck.

Martin

A clever, entertaining, and interactive card effect. Somewhat of knack to be proficient with the pluck. It will take practice and commitment to be able to perform with confidence. There is a relatively simple setup which I believe can shrink with time as your plucking is more accurate. Video instructions are clear and to the point without a lot of wasted words and time, also covering several contingencies which all appear strong. Pluck rates high on the amazement scale!

Paul

this was a great downlaod!

Michael

The demo fooled me badly, so I decided to get this, and I'm so glad I did. There is a set up, but it's not nearly as involved as I was expecting--you could 100% do it on the fly through culling + fiddling, or through a preliminary trick that lets you create a stack. The trick also requires a bit of a knack, but I'm confident that I can get it with some practice. Christian gives you several ways to cover if you have an off moment. His thinking on this effect is unbelievably clever. Extremely happy with this purchase, and I absolutely anticipate using this in the future!

Nico

This is a great trick!! When i discovered how it worked i was actually slightly worried that i wouldnt be able to do the "pluck" but with about 5-10 minutes of practice i got it down quite well ( I am an intermediate sleight of hand person ), the effect is stunning.

Alexander

Christian did it again! Another Gem from him!
He came up with a really amazing routine for pick the card out of the dribble combined with card at a number. This is one of the magic pieces are going directly into my reportoire. Thanks Christian.

Alessandro

Amazing trick! More amazing is the fact that most of the time I take the right card haha

craig

Its a very clever effect. I'm not sure I'd agree that its easy for a beginner to master as some comments have suggested.

John

Jim Spinnato

GREAT effect. Love his thinking. Just wish he had spent more time on the actual "pluck" move.

dean

Great idea, it works a treat with half hour practise, 1 thing chris didnt mention and its happened to me twice after only half hour of practise is that i have plucked the 26th card as a single, so i reckon in this situ to miss call it wait till they say its wrong then ask them what it was as you slowly slide it under there dribbling chin, great effect after a little practise looks impossible well
done mr Grace .

Fred

Hard to follow directions for an armature like me!

Norberto

I believe that some things must be said about this effect, in case someone wants to really know a little more than what the friendly reviews have said about it.
The effect looks great. The idea behind it is great. But the explanation basically says that the success of this effect is hit and miss. I'm a skilled magician, and I must recognize that I can't make it work as it should be more than 50% of the times I practice it. The other 50% is either directly wrong, or close to right, but that's not how a professional effect should work, should it?

The creator says, in the explanations, that you can pluck two cards, or just one, or more than two, or none. Is that right for a magic effect? Luck? Chance? Hit and miss?

I say it again: I like the idea of the effect, so I will keep trying. But I'm not too happy with the idea of gambling with the outcome. And so far, for what the creator explained and I tested, it's likely to be a game of chance.
