Effect: The spectator uses their intuition to produce multiple matching card pairs from two seemingly mixed decks. The magician barely touches the cards, making the effect seem even more impossible.
Imagine this: Your spectator freely cuts both decks, chooses one, and deals cards face down, stopping when they want (no force). You do the same with the other deck. Initially, the cards don't match – but this is by design! Then, through an astounding twist, the spectator's intuition takes over. They try again, and miraculously, not only do the cards match, but two more pairs match as well.
And the best part? You, the magician, barely touch the cards!
Why you will love this effect:
- Self-Working Principle: A "little known principle makes everything almost self-working". Forget complex sleights; this effect focuses on presentation.
- No Stack Memorization Required: You heard right. You use "two stacked decks," but "You do not need to know the order of the cards!" Any stack works.
- Spectator-Driven Wonder: From the spectator's point of view, "he cut both packets, stop dealing cards when he wanted, and magically 3 cards match". This makes the magic feel truly impossible.
- Clever Deception: The initial mismatch is a deliberate "ploy". A subtle ruse makes it appear the decks "could not be in the same order", enhancing the mystery.
