This document describes Jay Sankey's Magnet Card Effect magic trick. The trick involves a card chosen by a spectator that is mysteriously drawn to the magnet card at the top of the deck through several demonstrations. The preparation involves learning skills like the double lift and Vernon's Depth Illusion. The method explains how to secretly mark the top card as the magnet card and use card manipulation techniques like the Topper Tact to make it appear the chosen card is jumping to the magnet card through the deck.
