I'm looking to find a resource that collects and / or documents the variants of Steinmeyer's "nine card problem." In particular those that use 7,8,10... cards say, instead of 9. Just looking for a list of trick titles and a notation on number of cards employed.

A search for "nine card problem" on conjuring archive gives some results, but I'm sure there must be more.

Phil,

Please check the "Count and Drop" category for some more results: https://www.conjuringarchive.com/list/category/2123

And, for a very unusual approach, check this out: https://www.conjuringarchive.com/list/bo......ht=86297

Thanks Mike! That's a big help. I'll see if I can compile a list of effects tabulated by the number of cards employed.

I've just posted a thread in Secret Sessions listing ten variations that I've developed over the years:

No problem, Wravyn. I'm also writing an article for my blog that discusses some of the changes to the routine when performing it in person to disguise the method better. I'm hoping to publish it sometime this month.
