If you can hold a deck of cards, you can perform a miracle!
I can't rave about this effect enough. It fooled me.....really!
Introduce a deck of red back Bicycle cards. Spread them all face up on your table so your audience can see the entire deck. All the cards are different. Pick the deck back up and you can shuffle the deck if you like. You take out a blue back Bicycle card from your pocket or it can already be on your table face down. You tell your volunteer that this is your prediction of the card you think he or she will pick in just a moment. You spread the cards face down on your table ( or you can just hold the card and fan them out). Your spectator takes out ABSOLUTELY any card from the deck....no force...no funny business... just a completely fair choice on the volunteer's part. Tell the spectator to keep the card face down for the moment. You turn over your prediction card (let's say it's the 3 of hearts). You now turn over the card that your volunteer has FREELY chosen... and it's also the 3 of Hearts! WOW! A miracle!
ANYONE CAN DO THIS EFFECT! You will learn this in less than a minute. The deck does it all!
Though it sounds IMPOSSIBLE, this deck practically works itself. If you think you know how it works- you don't!
- No forcing! No fancy sleights, no funny counting, no "magician's choice"!
- No roughed cards!
- No switching of cards! No envelope or special wallet needed!
- No trimmed or tapered cards!
- No marked cards!
- No false counts or fancy sleights! If you can hold a card in your hand, you can do this trick!
The effects you can do with this deck are only limited to your imagination. The routines are endless. This is a real reputation maker, whether you are doing mind reading or just want to perform one of the most startling and amazing card effects ever.
Other suggestions:
Use the deck as a force deck.
Unlike other force decks where you can't spread the cards and show them all different, this one can be shuffled completely and shown that ALL CARDS are different.
Make a prediction of a card that will be selected during an upcoming performance.
I place the prediction or an actual playing card that is my prediction in a small envelope and mail this inside your regular size envelope to the person or committee that has booked my show. I do this a week before my performance. Sometime during my performance, I have the person that received the envelope and my prediction, bring it up on stage. I have them pick a card, then I have them open the envelope for the first time. My prediction, of course, matches exactly!
Remember, there is absolute NO SKILL required to perform this great effect. It's all in the deck. This new, improved version of the classic Monte Cristo deck should be in every magician's act. Get yours now- don't wait!
