Card to Card Case

Card to Card Case is a Card to Impossible Location type trick in which the magician causes a selected card to transport to the card case. Edward Marlo pioneered many of the methods for doing the trick with sleight-of-hand and regular cards, and the trick was popularized by Chicago bartender Matt Schulien in the fifties.
