The Triumph card trick, where cards are shuffled face up and face down, ending with all the cards going the same way, except a selected card, has fascinated me for a while. In the past, I’ve published a version or two in Vanish Magazine. Here’s my newest idea for it:
I really like using the old drop the deck and the top card flips over thing as a way to flip over the top card. I’ll probably write this up at some point and publish it somewhere.

Once again I was playing with the Triumph card trick, trying to come up with new sequences. This one uses five shuffles:

I think the idea of multiple shuffles has been done many times before, but I like the initial display that I do when I cut the pack into four packets. I think that visually drives home that they will be mixed face up into face down. It’s like Daryl’s Triumph Display, but used before the shuffle instead of after.
