This count has one of the highest hide-to-show ratios of any false count. You are using four different cards, yet you can show each one three times in a row to credibly demonstrate you have a packet of three identical cards. Doing this four times with four different cards looks incredible on its own. Nevertheless, you would use this as part of a larger routine.

A participant's finger count when combined with a bit of Si Stebbins principle gives out a cool propless method to divine the sun sign in a clean, elegant, effective and most importantly, quick manner. There is no long drawn process here.

The presentation here is not the typical astrology based one but goes on the lines of brain functions, human mind and general psychology. The sun sign reveal comes most unexpectedly as a surprising finale.

This method is completely different from that in Propless Polaris or Propless Signtist or [lp=921867 Mind Spark 1: Propless...

A number, generated by the sum of the values of 5 randomly selected cards, will magically reveal the exact card predicted by the magician from the beginning!

The title refers to a semi-automatic card effect, in which the magician shuffles the deck and gives it to a spectator to cut and complete. He then hands him a pair of dice (he can also just ask him to imagine them) and, before throwing them, places a card face down on the table, announcing that it is his Pre-Vision of what will happen shortly. Once they verified the score obtained from the two dice, he stacks that exact number of cards...

Un Numero, generato dalla somma dei valori di 5 carte scelte dal caso, farà si che venga magicamente trovata esattamente la Carta prevista, sin dall’inizio, dal mago.

II titolo, traducibile in italiano con “Pre-visione di una Carta ad un Numero”, indica un effetto SEMI-AUTOMATICO con le carte, nel quale il mago mescola il mazzo e lo dà a tagliare ad uno spettatore. Gli consegna poi una coppia di dadi (può anche solo chiedere di immaginarli) e, prima che li lanci, depone sul tavolo una carta di dorso che annuncia essere la sua Pre-Visione di quello che accadrà tra poco.

Forcing a card is one of the strongest moves you can do. When the spectator handles the cards and the magician seemingly never touches the cards, you have a miracle waiting to happen. The reveal can be as extravagant as you want. All of these forces require no sleight of hand and are not well known. They can be done with the spectator's deck.

This is a high-impact routine which is custom-developed to be performed by a mentalist / mind reader for a special occasion like a wedding anniversary. It can also be easily adapted for other occasions like birthdays, corporate anniversaries, annual days etc. The effect is quite visual and takes about 3 to 4 minutes to perform, but of course this can be extended based on your presentation and patter.

Anniversary Mystique is more suitable for a mentalist/mind reader persona. It has no sleights, is easy and self-working, and allows you to leave a couple of visual and memorable souvenirs. ...

A rubber band is stretched across your open palm. You insert a pen under the rubber band and slowly start to stretch the rubber band further away from the palm. Everything looks fair and as it should be. Suddenly, the rubber band has melted through the pen without any apparent motion.

The rubber band and pen can be handed out for inspection. They are completely ungimmicked.

A series of cards, taken from four piles decided at the "Stop," are progressively eliminated, until only one pair remains to decide both a card and a number. Not only will that card be found in the deck at the number, but all the cards stacked under that pair will result magically divided by color!

Shocking Coloured Card at Number is a semi-automatic effect with cards, in which the magician shuffles the deck, then deals the cards into four separate piles, alternating between a spectator's "STOPS" and his own. Having collected the piles, he will gradually eliminate their cards until he...

Una serie di carte, prese da quattro mazzetti decisi allo "Stop", vengono progressivamente eliminate, finché ne rimangono soltanto un paio a decidere sia una Carta che un Numero. Non solo si troverà nel mazzo quella carta al numero, ma solamente le carte incolonnate sotto quella coppia risulteranno magicamente divise per colore!

Shocking Coloured Card At Number, traducibile in italiano con "Carta al Numero dai Colori sgargianti", è un effetto SEMI-AUTOMATICO con le carte, nel quale il mago mescola il mazzo, poi distribuisce le carte in quattro distinti mazzetti, alternando gli "STOP"...

While you turn over a small packet of cards, you palm the bottom card. Here, Peter uses this move in a small packet routine to have Aces and tens change their packets.
