What is 4 Switch ?

Method :

Pierre Acourt has revisited a little-known, and yet ingenious, method that uses the transformation of 3 objects (or 3 people). This process is totally different from Bob Hummer's famous principle based on transformations and updated with the Green Neck system.

The advantage of 4 SWITCH is that the magician does not need to know the order of the objects before turning around.


Of course there are hidden constraints, but they are so subtle that your spectator will swear that he himself had shuffled as much as he wanted, and as many times as he wanted. There is an entire chapter in this book, "Verbal Subtleties", that will allow you to achieve this result.

What you get:

  • A book with numerous mentalism effects : Chair test, which hand, Free Will, divinations, coincidences, impromptu effects with everyday objects (coins, business cards, etc.), magic square, stage trick, etc.
  • A specially, artistically, designed deck of 51 cards that will allow you to perform the tricks described in the book, but can be used for more. The deck includes a complete set of ESP cards (25 cards), 2 sets of numbers from 0 to 9, and 6 chifumi cards.
  • All cards have a secret marking on the backs.


Example "CHIRO POCKET" Effect :

A spectator chooses 3 small objects and puts them on a table. The magician's back is turned, and the objects are shuffled. Then the spectator take the objects: one in his pocket, one in his left hand and one in his right hand. The magician turns around again (or not) and correctly announces which object the spectator has in his pocket, then in his left hand and in his right hand.

  • The spectator doesn't have to answer questions during the revelations.
  • The result is 100% guaranteed
  • If you do the trick again, the objects can end up in other positions.
  • The magician does not peek before, after, or during.
  • No accomplices.
  • No electronics or gimmicks.

"An excellent find, straight out of Pierre Acourt's creative brain. The basic principle of 4-Switch is an indispensable tool for the close-up mentalist, offering him a whole range of effects that can be realized in an impromptu and very convincing way. For the mentalist, not to be interested in 4-Switch is, in my humble opinion, professional misconduct..."
- Eric Bertrand, co-author of Douceurs Mentales 1 and 2

"What a joy to see an old principle brought up to date ! A variation that makes the method safe and a presentation that makes it invisible: this is a formidable tool to master absolutely. Bravo !"
- Gabriel Werlen, author of the Green Neck System
