I saw Doug Henning do this once on a TV special . pretty cool. I
watched
that show with a friend every day after school until the tape wore
out . i
heard he took lessons in close up with Dai Vernon , any one else hear
this ?

about the trickthink about it, could possibly it not have a gimmick?

Is there a book with a method out there regarding linking cards?

I believe the trick is called Immaculate Connection. I uses three
cards
instead of two. It's a great impromptu trick. No gimmicks and no
setup.
And, everything is examinable.

The trick with two cards (done by Doug Henning on one of his

is Sixteen Beme's Complete Card Linking. I believe it's out of print
although about a year ago he released a similar effect called the
One-Card-Link. That may be off the market too- it was a video priced
at about $60 and a limited number was made.

The big advantage to the Complete Card Linking is that the cards can
be given to the spectators to keep (in their linked condition).

The original linking card routine, "Cardboard Connection," was given
to the
masses by Paul Harris in 1977, and, as you say, uses an unknown 3rd
card.
However, another version, and improvement, was released by him in
1983, titled
"Immaculate Connection." This routine uses three cards, all of which
are known
and visible to the audience at all times, and all three come away with
no
holes, aside from the large ones in the middle.

Hoping to clear things up,

Not wrong at all... You require a third card which is
unseen let alone unknown to the viewer ..the third
card is required in a certain matter to make the effect
work...so the 3rd card is a gimmick..

Nope. I stand by my original statement. The three ungimmicked cards
are
shown openly to the audience. You tear out the centers and then link
them. There is _no_ "unseen" or "unknown" card. This can be
performed
impromptu.

As I said, look me up and I'll _prove_ it.

You guys are arguing about two different routines.

The other is called "Immaculate Connection" which also uses three

but all are seen and examinable by the audience.
The first trick is a two-card link and the second is a three-card
link.
