A great presentation for the standard Lie Detector theme where you reveal, using four cards, if the spectator tells the truth or lies and at the end the four cards change into four duplicates of the selections. You will love it! Can be done in any language.
... what he saw on the business card but he will always forget one of the objects! Much fun watching the reactions of the audience and of the "victim"!
THE DIE IS CAST
"Make the Spectator lose (or win) all the time"
The Performer gives a dice for examination. He borrows 6 beer mats (or business cards, or papers...). On one side of each beer mat he writes a number 1 to 6 and shuffles them. On one of them he writes "ONE PINT" (or "ONE MILLION EUROS" or whatever). He mixes again all the mats and aligns them, number side up, on the table. Nobody knows which beer mat is the winner. One spectator...
A selection of lovely effects for weddings, Valentine's day, couples, etc. that will open hearts and doors...Most of them are impromptu.
Valentine day
A two phase 10' routine where two cards, randomly chosen face down at the beginning, will help to find two other cards. Each phase can be played independently.
ACAAN for couples
A perfect ACAAN for couples. Impromptu.
Men desiring women
This is Gerard's version of a classic spelling effect (impromptu), based on a mathematical principle. He will also reveal how to personalize it with your own words ...
DOMINATING DICE (Paul Marcus): A spectator thinks of a number and the card that falls at that number is taken. Using three dice, the spectator finds the selected card.
STUCK (Joe Riding): A close up comedy coin routine with a very entertaining climax.
S.P.E.L.L.I.T (Francis Haxton): A card is selected and lost. You reveal three cards but none of them is the chosen one. You use one of these three cards, to get to the selected one.
...
... one of them to turn his back while the other chooses a card.
The first spectator now selects a card in a very fair manner. You then cut the card face up into the middle of the otherwise face down deck, which you then table.
You ask the second spectator to turn back, and you introduce sixteen cards with numbers written on them. They now choose four of the sixteen number cards, again in a very fair manner. You now have them add together the numbers on the cards using a calculator. Assuming that the total is 5107. Tell the spectator that he has just found out the name of the first spectator's...
A blue backed deck is shown. A card is removed, and placed aside. The deck is spread face down. It is seen that all of the cards have blue backs, except for one card which has a red back. Two cards are now very randomly chosen, and their values are added together. Let's assume that the total is "13" (the actual total is up to you!). The deck is turned face up (in every instance) and the cards are dealt one at a time until the 13th (or whatever value was chosen) card is dealt. Let's say that the 13th card is the Queen of Clubs. The deck is now spread face down. Each and every card has a blue...
that will GENIUINELY create wonder & applause in a real world audience. The Fleetwood Papers delivers on all 4 points. Excellent as usual." - Doug Segal
The Double Blind Drawing Duplication...
Two truly impossible drawing duplications for the price of one.
The performer gives a stack of blank business cards (about 20) and a bunch of pencils to a spectator and asks her to distribute them to whoever she wants. The random people who receive a card are asked to draw a picture of something on the card and to hold it face down. The first spectator now collects all of the cards and takes...
...This work by LePaul has become a classic a long time ago. It is a must read for anybody who is seriously interested in card magic. LePaul was one of the 20th century's most admired card technicians. Here he teaches you 31 moves and 21 routines, beautifully explained in word and more than 300 photos showing the master at work.
No one who has seen the program of Paul Le Paul can doubt his ability as a performer; and no informed magician who reads The Card Magic of Le Paul will question that it is a real contribution to the literature of card conjuring.
The "new and different effects with playing cards," which are promised on the title-page, consist of 31 sleights and 21 tricks that are either new or are improvements or variations of old ones. The space is about equally divided between tricks and sleights. The tricks that the author divulges are not only good, but in some instances are almost...
A three phased easy to do routine that gives your spectator an experience of what it feels to be a mentalist.
Phase 1: 5 business cards are shown, each having the ESP symbols and are laid face down towards them. The performer introduces another set of 5, with a little thought points to one of them and asks them to point a card in their pile which they think matches the performer's card. They do so, and it matches.
Phase 2: The performer draws one of the symbols on a business card and the spectator correctly guess which one has been drawn.
Phase 3: The spectator is asked if he remembers...
... real life story combined with a bit of myth making to allow you to reveal what player from a baseball card someone has chose in their mind. "Star Wars Forcing Bank" combines a PA with a Forcing Bank to accomplish pretty much the same thing as in "The Commons" only this time with Star Wars Trading cards and with what appears to be hundreds of choices.
Then, we have "Famous Magicians". This one's gonna be more impressive to your magic club buddies than to real people because some of the magicians in the list are not that well know to the public. However, every single name on the list is near...
The performer displays three business cards. One is handed to a spectator, who is instructed to write the name of a loved one on the blank side of the card. They then turn it face down on the other two cards, and mix them up so the location of this card is unknown to anyone. They lay them out in a row.
The performer then uses his mental abilities to correctly isolate the card with the name on it. Finally, without touching that card, he correctly reveals the name itself!
