What's Mine is Mine by Paul Richards
Penguin Magic
What’s mine stays mine. What’s yours proves it.
WHAT’S MINE IS MINE, created by Paul Richards, is a compact, confidence-building packet trick that plays just as hard for magicians as it does for real people—and it’s always ready to go.
You display a small packet of cards and ask a spectator to touch the back of any card they like. They’re free to change their mind as often as they wish. One card is removed and placed on the table.
You smile and explain, “I’m glad you took that card—because these are all mine.”
The cards in your hand are turned over to reveal the word MINE printed boldly across every face. Then you gesture to the selection on the table. “But that one is yours.” The spectator turns it over to reveal YOURS, printed clearly in bright red.
The moment is direct, funny, and unmistakable.
For an encore, the YOURS card can be added back into the packet and the effect is immediately repeated—clean, fast, and just as strong the second time.
There’s no sleight of hand to learn, no special counts, no rough-and-smooth, and no force. There is exactly one YOURS card; every other card genuinely says MINE. The handling is simple, the reset is instant, and the reaction is reliable.
You receive specially silk-screened cards, a wallet for easy carry, and full instructions.
Small packet.
Clear message.
Big reactions.

Take one.
Claim the rest.
Prove the point.
