Triumph
From Magicpedia, the free online encyclopedia for magicians by magicians.
Triumph is a reversing-card routine developed by Dai Vernon that was first published in Stars of Magic, Series 2, No. 1 (1946) in which a card is selected and returned to the pack, whereupon half the deck is turned face up and shuffled into the face-down half. The deck then magically rights itself, except for the selected card.
Dai developed the Triumph Shuffle to accomplish this effect, which is a type of Strip-out Shuffle.
