Effet : Le magicien sort deux jokers d'un jeu rouge sur lesquels il a écrit une prédiction et les dépose sur la table.
Ensuite, il étale un jeu bleu face en l'air et propose au spectateur de choisir une carte. Par exemple, le valet de cœur.
Puis, il retourne ses prédictions : Un joker indique « TENEZ LE JEU ROUGE FACE EN BAS » et l'autre, « VOTRE CARTE EST LA 29ème ».
Le spectateur prend le jeu rouge et le tient face en bas. Il distribue les cartes une à une face en l'air jusqu'au nombre prédit par le magicien... La 29ème carte est le valet de cœur !

This topological quandary has not only inspired mathematicians; countless inventions use this principle and artists have painted, sculpted and written stories about the Möbius strip.
The art of magic has extensively used this topological principle to create the illusion of magic. The Afghan Bands were a favourite magic trick in the first half of the last century. Famous magicians such as Harry Blackstone and Nelson Downs regularly performed it in the stage act.

Here is an act that I sincerely concede as being the best all-around modus operandi ever offered to the profession. The strong point is that this effect is done in real time. The original effect was sold in the Sphinx for $50.00 back in the 40s. By today's standards it would be almost $800.00. It was later improved by psychic Jason Michaels and used during his career. The effect is as follows: The performer passes out small cards on which spectators are requested to write their questions and sign their full name. This completed, cards are collected by performer, placed in small envelopes and sealed. ...
