Monkey in the Middle

Goldman, Bill

(Based on 2 reviews)
A spectator freely selects a card from a completely normal (even borrowed) pack and signs their name across the face to eliminate the possibility of duplicates. The spectator's selection is then returned to the pack. The magician sets the deck down and displays two cards from a different deck, which are freely shown then placed on top of the deck face-up.
He snaps his fingers and with absolutely no moves or funny business whatsoever, spreads the face-up cards. Sandwiched in between is one face-down card! When the spread is turned over, the sandwiched card is seen to be the spectator's signed selection !

This is GOOD, wrong, GREAT. I presently use this as my first card trick in my close up set. The problem is, what do you follow it with???? Put the indifferent cards on the table and let the spectator place them on the deck. This does two things. It misdirects so you can do the necessary. The spectator KNOWS the indifferent cards are clean! !

Only $10? How good can it be? The answer: Really good!! Yes, it can be a borrowed deck. Yes, it's a freely chosen card. It can even be learned in a few minutes! This is one effect that I will always keep on me, along with my Bare Minimum Kit. And, as I said before, you can't go wrong for $10!!
