A brand-new effect, using two decks of cards, one of which will be chosen by the spectator to represent the prediction.
This is a card an "Any Card At Any Number" magic trick that uses two decks of cards. The magician places both decks on the table, they are identical except for their backs: one has red backs and the other has blue ones. He lets a female spectator freely choose which one to use first and explains that, while one will serve as the prediction deck, the other will be used - after being shuffled - to allow her to freely focus on a card, from which the experiment will begin.
In fact, after selecting that card - from which the value will be taken - the deck will be further cut into several sections by the spectator herself, and then haphazardly reassembled by the magician, who will then turn over the top card, which will reveal the suit of the designated card. The spectator will then turn over the next three cards, and at that very moment, the prediction deck will make its entrance.
In fact, she will place, beneath each of the three cards just turned face up, as many cards as their respective values indicate, taking them from the top of that deck. The magician will repeat the chosen card value aloud, and, incredible as it may seem, when he lets the spectator turn over the first card of the deck, she will find herself holding that very same card!
Strengths:
- The effect is practically self-working, even though it will seem inexplicable.
- There is no need to know any complex manipulation techniques, nor will you have to perform complicated calculations - all it takes is a tiny bit of mental effort.
