List of magic tricks

In magic literature, tricks are often called effects.

This effect, recognized as Twisting the Aces, is attributed to Dai Vernon, and it is based on a false count invented by Alex Elmsley.

Some tricks are listed merely with their marketed name (particularly those sold as stand-alone tricks by retail dealers), whereas others are listed by the name given within magic publications.

Thousands of devices are used by magicians to accomplish their effects.

While not generally tricks themselves, some of these devices are very valuable to performers of magic.
