A card at any number effect for the real world!

A single red-backed prediction card is placed face-down in full view of the audience. The spectator names any number between 1 and 52 (e.g.17). The performer hands him a blue backed deck and asks him to have a look through it to confirm that it is simply a regular deck of cards - the spectator confirms that it is. He is then instructed to deal down to the seventeenth card and place it next to the prediction. Without any moves or switches, the performer turns over both the selection and the prediction - they match!

No sleight-of-hand? No equivoque? No switches? No extra props? No problem!

Mike Rose's brilliant approach to the 'card at any number' plot satisfies the need for a worker's solution to this commercial effect. This is so clean and direct that it will go straight into your act!

Comes complete with U.S.P.C.C. printed gaffs.

I like this effect. I perform primarily stand-up comedy and restaurant/bar magic. This effect fits perfectly into my adult programs. It took some work and considerable practice to get the process drummed into my head to the point that I can do the effect without thinking abou tit...but every second of that effort has been worth it. If you're willing to put forth the time to learn a killer effect, buy this. Well done!
