It's A Lu lu Book
Docc Hilford
A perfect startling new way to read minds!
Imagine working high end night clubs with a deck of cards and a handkerchief. And getting paid good money for ten minutes of amazing mentalistic entertainment. That is exactly what Docc Hilford does with his blindfold act, It's a Lu Lu! And now you can do it too.
Effect:
Two spectators shuffle a full deck of cards. The performer asks a woman to help him by having three people select a card each. These are of course, free selections, as the performer doesn't even see who participates. The cards are shown to others in the crowd, but not tho the performer.
The cards are returned to the deck and the woman cuts the deck repeatedly. Now the performer is blindfolded with an ungimmicked blindfold, legitimately blinded.
Cards are held up one at a time and discarded. But when the audience sees a selected card, they all "THINK" the word "STOP" and the performer announces that the card held is one that was selected. Although he has not seen the card and the deck has been out of his hands for the selections and returns, he finds the selected cards -- apparently by thought alone!
But that's not all! While the woman holds up cards, the performer announces the final selection, then reveals the name of the spectator who chose it and finally names the chosen card!!
This is done while the cards are still in the woman's hands. Truly Unbelievable!!
This can be done in a living room for friends or on a dance floor of a night club. All of Docc's night club patter is included for you to use as well.

To test the routine, or my adaptation, I used it at a meeting of a group of Mentalists. I didn't use the blindfold and would reccommend you do as I had to turn my back to do the effect. Three cards were selected by three different people and then returned to the deck. I used half the deck to move things along. I had them mentally concentrate on their card and not to say anything except at the end. I showed each card and when I got a message from them I put that card aside. Showing the three cards at the end, I asked if they were the chosen cards. They were the chosen cards and they didn't have a clue as to how I found them since I never looked at the cards.
This effect is good and fooled guys in the know. It's easy to set up and gives you the chance to work with your audience as there are no complicated things to remember.
