MIS-INDEXED COURT CARDS
steve dela
Effect :
A card is named by your spectator and it corresponds to your prediction, the unique card you keep in your wallet!
Set up :
You need a wallet in which you can hide your six cards. Place your cards inside in an order you remember. So, you can access the "named" card without having to look for it.
The Alakazam Stealth Assassin portfolio is an excellent combination, with the folded light cards and distributed in the index.
It is however very easy to hide 6 cards folded in almost any wallet, because you can bring "two folded cards" into a horizontal slit behind a credit card! Glue a third card (folded) on the same credit card, but hidden behind the leather, and you have now hidden 3 cards ... Repeat the operation in another slit and you are ready to leave.
Routine :
Place your wallet on the table.
"In my wallet, I keep my card to play lucky holders ... In a moment, I will ask you to choose a card, but it will be done in your imagination. Take this, please."
The mime tends a playing cards invisible.
"This playing cards is invisible, that is why you must be imagined ... When you browse the cards in your hands and in your mind, you notice that the game is divided in half, please hold half of the game in each hand ( The word "half" gives the impression that there are more illustrated cards than there are, it's subtle, but it works). In your right hand, you now hold all the illustrated cards, valets, queens, kings, etc. And in your left hand, you hold all the numbered cards, the aces, the two, the three, etc.
I will count from 3 to 1 and you will return to either all the illustrated cards, or all the numbered cards ... 3 ... 2 ... 1 "
We will then give you one or the other package ... It is from this moment that you decide how to continue the game by making the person believe that they have chosen to keep the illustrated cards.
"Which did you give me?"
If he says the illustrated cards ...
"I'm going to spread all these cards facing a hidden on a table (invisible table - mime this action), all the valets, queens, kings and all colors, pikes, hearts, clover, diamonds, are here in a random order ... Think carefully and choose the one you like. "
They choose a card.
"What card did you choose?"
They say the valet of spades (of course, they can name any illustrated card).
"On 52 choices, you chose the valet.
Without saying one more word, I slowly pick up the wallet, go inside and catch the folded card which, I know, represents the two black valets (spades and clover). I spot the marks on the back of the card to find out how to open it to cover the "club" index with my fingers. I show that the card is the valet of spades. Everyone is ecstatic and the effect is complete!
The only difference at the end of the effect is that I am given the numbered cards ... In this case, I say ...
"So you have kept all the illustrated cards. Imagine now that you have an invisible table in front of you, spread all the cards face down and mix them.
