Overview

After a regular deck of cards is shuffled by the Magician, it is handed to your Spectator. One by one they turn over a card and stop wherever, whenever they want without any influence from you. Once they make their commitment to stop, their card is incredibly printed on the card case that was in full view the whole time. You can now continue doing more card effects as it is a normal deck.

Effect

The Magician shows a very well mixed deck of cards (a regular one) and gives it to a Spectator. They are asked to deal them face up, one by one, onto the table. The spectator stops at ANY CARD they want, no force, totally their choice, they can even change their mind at the last moment. The Magician now then tells that their prediction is in the card box. You show that the same card is amazingly printed on the card case! As their are multiple predictions possible, with little to no reset you can now repeat this effect to a different audience with a different card.

Method

This is a very fun and easy effect to learn and perform. There are no difficult sleights to learn and no angle issues to worry about. If you can do a false shuffle you are ready to go and start amazing your audiences. You can do this right out of the box but a quick shuffle adds to the overall performance.The is a little preset to do but nothing really at all.

Product Quality

You will receive a specially printed card box that looks exactly like a normal Bicycle box available in both red and blue. This box will make all the predictions of your Spectators selected come true. As it is made from cardboard as all deck boxes are, wear and tear will occur depending on how much you use it and how well you carry and store it.

Ad Copy Integrity

What the ad describes and what the video trailer shows is exactly what happens. Your will receive a link to a 14 minute downloadable video that will demonstrate everything you need. Once you receive your purchase you will see how incredibly simple and easy this one is to do. With minimal practice, you will be ready to go in no time. You will also learn a ‘special’ out to use if necessary, I personally have not had to use it.

Final Thoughts

The nice thing here is if in the scenario of a strolling performance a few of your spectators who chose a card happen to know each other and talk afterwards. Chances are they all selected different cards making this effect even more incredible and miraculous. This happened to me which I found out afterwards as I overheard heard people talking about this effect. I believe this is a must have for card/mentalist performers for an easy yet amazing effect. For the reasonable purchase price, this is a great buy and highly recommended. You will certainly add it to your repertoire, I did.

Suggestions

This effect is excellent for strolling, table-hopping and even small parlor shows. A table top is preferred but if a flat surface is not available, use one of your Spectators outstretched hands to place the dealt cards on.
