Magic Trick is a voucher that allows the player to purchase Playing cards directly from the shop for $1 each. Without Illusion ({{hl|orange|Playing cards}} in shop may have an [[Card Modifiers#Enhancements|{{hl|sblue|Enhancement}}]], [[Card Modifiers#Edition|{{hl|edition|Edition}}]], and/or a [[Card Modifiers#Seal|{{hl|orange|Seal}}]] Buy a total of 20 Playing cards from the shop Upgraded Illusion.png), these Playing cards cannot have enhancements or editions.

• The Fragile ( ) challenge bans Magic Trick.
• The Bram Poker ( ) challenge starts with a copy of Magic Trick and Illusion ({{hl|orange|Playing cards}} in shop may have an [[Card Modifiers#Enhancements|{{hl|sblue|Enhancement}}]], [[Card Modifiers#Edition|{{hl|edition|Edition}}]], and/or a [[Card Modifiers#Seal|{{hl|orange|Seal}}]] Buy a total of 20 Playing cards from the shop Upgraded Illusion.png).
• Hone ({{hl|edition|Foil}}, {{hl|edition|Holographic}}, and {{hl|edition|Polychrome}} cards appear {{hl|orange|2X}} more often Base Hone.png) and Glow Up ({{hl|edition|Foil}}, {{hl|edition|Holographic}}, and {{hl|edition|Polychrome}} cards appear {{hl|orange|4X}} more often Have at least 5 Joker cards with Foil, Holographic, or Polychrome (or Negative) effect Upgraded Glow Up.png) do not affect the playing cards in the shop from Magic Trick.

• Abandoned Deck ( Start run with no {{F|}}[[Card Ranks#Face cards|{{hl|orange|Face Cards}}]] in your deck Win a run with the {{D|Green}} on [[Stakes|any difficulty]] Abandoned Deck.png) and Mad World ( ): Fewer starting cards allows those added with Magic Trick to appear more frequently.

• Hologram (This Joker gains {{xmult|0.25}} every time a {{hl|orange|playing card}} is added to your deck <br> {{Currently|{{xmult|1}}}} Uncommon Multiplicative Mult Independent Hologram.gif): Each purchased playing card gives X0.25 Mult.
• Trading Card (If {{hl|orange|first discard}} of round has only {{hl|orange|1}} card, destroy it and earn {{Money|3}} Uncommon Economy On Discard Trading Card.png): Allows you to trim your deck, and avoid bloating it after buying the extra Playing cards from the shop.
• Blue Joker ({{Chips|+2}} for each remaining card in {{hl|orange|deck}} <br> {{currently|{{chips|+104}}}} Common Chips Independent Blue Joker.png): Gains more chips for each remaining card in the deck, which Magic Trick can quickly increase.
• Chaos the Clown ({{hl|orange|1}} free {{hl|green|Reroll}} per shop Common Effect N/A (Passive) Chaos_the_Clown.png): Gives 1 free reroll per shop to find more playing cards.

Jokers that require specific ranks, such as Cloud 9 (Earn {{Money|1}} for each {{hl|orange|9}} in your {{hl|orange|full deck}} at end of round <br> {{Currently|{{Money|4}}}} Uncommon Economy N/A (Passive) Cloud 9.png), Wee Joker (This Joker gains {{Chips|+8}} when each played {{hl|orange|2}} is scored <br> {{Currently|{{chips|+0}}}} Win a run in {{hl|orange|18}} or fewer rounds Rare Chips Mixed Wee Joker.png), and Shoot the Moon (Each {{hl|orange|Queen}} held in hand gives {{mult|+13}} Play every Heart card in your deck in one round. Common Additive Mult On Held Shoot the Moon.png) can have their respective cards chosen selectively. Sixth Sense (If {{hl|orange|first hand}} of round is a single {{hl|orange|6}}, destroy it and create a [[Spectral Cards|{{hl|sblue|Spectral}}]] card <br> {{room}} Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Sixth_Sense.png) is particularly effective due to destroying any gained sixes which avoids bloating the deck.

• The Hanged Man (Destroys up to {{hl|orange|2}} selected cards Available from start. Tarot The Hanged Man.png) and Immolate (Destroys {{hl|orange|5}} random cards in hand, gain {{Money|20}} Available from start. Spectral Immolate.png): Allows trimming of unwanted cards to make those added by Magic Trick more frequent.

• Overstock ({{hl|orange|+1}} card slot available in shop Base Overstock.png) and Overstock Plus ({{hl|orange|+1}} card slot available in shop Spend a total of {{Money|2500}} at the shop Upgraded Overstock Plus.png): Increases the amount of playing cards seen per reroll.
• Reroll Surplus (Rerolls cost {{Money|2}} less Base Reroll Surplus.png) and Reroll Glut (Rerolls cost an additional {{Money|2}} less Reroll the shop a total of 100 times Upgraded Reroll Glut.png): Makes rerolls cheaper, decreasing the cost to find more playing cards.

Ghost Deck ( [[Spectral Cards|{{hl|sblue|Spectral}}]] cards may appear in the shop, start with a {{spectral|Hex}} card Win a run with the {{D|Yellow}} on [[Stakes|any difficulty]] Ghost Deck.png) decreases the chance of finding cards from Magic Trick, relative to other decks.

• Erosion ({{Mult|+4}} for each card below {{hl|orange|[the deck's starting size]}} in your full deck <br> {{Currently|{{Mult|+0}}}} Uncommon Additive Mult Independent Erosion.png): Adding playing cards with magic trick decreases Erosion by +4 Mult.

As Magic Trick decreases the chance of finding Jokers and Consumables in the shop, any Jokers that gain value from them are weakened. This includes:

• Campfire (This Joker gains {{xmult|0.25}} for each card {{hl|orange|sold}}, resets when [[Blinds|{{hl|orange|Boss Blind}}]] is defeated <br> {{currently|{{xmult|1}}}} Rare Multiplicative Mult Independent Campfire.png): Gaining X0.25 Mult per Joker or Consumable sold.
• Astronomer (All {{hl|cyan|Planet}} cards and {{hl|cyan|Celestial Packs}} in the shop are {{hl|orange|free}} Discover every {{Planet|}} card Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Astronomer.png): Making Planet Cards free.
• Fortune Teller ({{mult|+1}} per [[Tarot Cards|{{hl|purple|Tarot}}]] card used this run <br> {{currently|{{hl|red|+0}}}} Common Additive Mult Independent Fortune Teller.png): Gains +1 Mult per tarot card used.
• Constellation (This Joker gains {{xmult|0.1}} every time a [[Planet_Cards|{{hl|cyan|Planet}}]] card is used <br> {{currently|{{xmult|1}}}} Uncommon Multiplicative Mult Independent Constellation.png): Gains X0.1 Mult per planet card used.

• Hone ({{hl|edition|Foil}}, {{hl|edition|Holographic}}, and {{hl|edition|Polychrome}} cards appear {{hl|orange|2X}} more often Base Hone.png) and Glow Up ({{hl|edition|Foil}}, {{hl|edition|Holographic}}, and {{hl|edition|Polychrome}} cards appear {{hl|orange|4X}} more often Have at least 5 Joker cards with Foil, Holographic, or Polychrome (or Negative) effect Upgraded Glow Up.png): With fewer Jokers seen per shop there are fewer chances for Hone to give them an Edition.
• Planet Merchant ({{Planet|}} cards appear {{hl|orange|2X}} more frequently in the shop Base Planet Merchant.png), Planet Tycoon ([[Planet Cards|{{hl|cyan|Planet}}]] cards appear {{hl|orange|4X}} more frequently in the shop Buy a total of 50 Planet cards from the shop Upgraded Planet Tycoon.png), Tarot Merchant ({{Tarot|}} cards appear {{hl|orange|2X}} more frequently in the shop Base Tarot Merchant.png), and Tarot Tycoon ({{Tarot|}} cards appear {{hl|orange|4X}} more frequently in the shop Buy a total of 50 Tarot cards from the shop Upgraded Tarot Tycoon.png) all conflict with the chance to find playing cards by increasing the probabilities of Planet Cards and Tarot Cards respectively.

It is generally not recommended to take Magic Trick without a specific synergy in mind, as the added playing cards will dilute the shop while providing less value than the Jokers and Consumables they replace.
