Garden Path II: A card is selected and placed face down on table. The spectator deals three packets of three cards and discards the rest of the deck. The top card of each packet is turned face up, and the performer uses the information on each card in an attempt at divining the name of the selection. But he fails. The packets cleanly are placed together with the three reversed cards still in place. You hold...

This manuscript features six routines from Paul Voodini, all utilizing a marked deck. As well as fully explaining the routines, Paul also discusses many subtleties that allow the performer to use a marked deck with confidence and the 'tricks of the trade' that mean the spectators never suspect for a moment that there is anything 'funny' about the cards.

The routines included are:

The Keeper of Secrets. The performer is able to correctly divine a chosen card despite the spectator desperately trying to keep its identity a secret.

Thought Transfer. Performer and spectator work together...

Effect

Performer patters that Blindsight is the apparent ability to see colors and shapes which cannot be seen. You offer a simple experiment. The performer introduces four ungimmicked colored cards: Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow. These in turn are placed into four opaque manila envelopes and mixed so the spectators do not know which color is in which envelope. You ask a participant to point to any envelope. Free choice, no magician's force of any kind. You hold it up and ask him what color...

TELEPATHIC FOUR ACE REVERSE The spectator chooses any four-of-a-kind and these four cards are placed in obviously four different places in the spread deck. The spectator then uses "her magic" - with no moves - to make that four-of-a-kind, gather together in the center of the deck - REVERSED!

Now you can prove your mastery over extra sensory perception (ESP) and demonstrate to your audience that you are a mentalist by using an ESP testing deck - a scientifically approved accessory. You go through a series of experiments such as Rhine has only hoped to...

A self-working principle which determined a person's thoughts . . . Listen to this bewildering effect. A pack of cards is shuffled and a spectator merely thinks of a card. The pack is then dealt once, twice and finally a third time into two piles. Before completing the last dealing the spectator may, if he so wishes, shuffle both halves. Despite all this, when the spectator deals through the pack he finds there are only 51 cards; the thought-of card has vanished! The performer produces the card from his pocket before the spectator names his chosen card. An astounding climax which completely...

Five ESP cards are laid out on the table. Point to one and push it aside. Point to another and push it aside. Discard two more until just one is left. Do you think I could have predicted that card in advance?

A duplicate set of ESP cards has been on view throughout. They are all face down except one. It's your card. Not only that, but it has a completely different colored back from the rest!

Consumer Control is simple, easy and direct. No counts, moves or sleight of hand. A baffling demonstration of psychological persuasion.

[Note: This ebook does not come with the specially prepared cards. One set of ESP cards is regular. The other set is prepared with rough and smooth but in a very special way. If you have a roughing spray or stick you will be able to make your own cards. You will need ESP cards with two different backs. You will also need two double backers that match the two different backs and two envelopes.]
