IMAGINATION BECOMES REALITY WHEN A SPECTATOR'S NAMED CARD PRINTS IN A BLANK DECK!
No extra cards! No sticky stuff or roughing stuff! No fiddly gaffs! No kidding!
Brainstormer:
The performer removes a deck from its case and spreads it to show that
the cards are all blank on both the faces and the back! This is what a
pack of cards looks like before it gets printed.
The performer
explains that in fact he has arranged the deck so that all the red cards
are together and all the black ones are together. Splitting the deck he
ribbon spreads one half on the table in front of the spectator,
explaining that these are all the red cards, and spreads the other half
across the table near to himself claiming that these are all the black
cards.
Picking up the spectator's cards he explains that although
they all look completely blank, the spectator should nevertheless be
able to pick out any red card that he wants even though he doesn't
believe he can see any card faces.
To prove this, the spectator
is invited to name any red card. Let's imagine that he says the 4D.
Spreading the spectator's cards out before him the performer invites him
to touch any card. The selection is removed and turned over and the
performer claims that the card the spectator has touched really is the
4D even though it still looks blank!
The magician now says he
will try to emulate the feat with his cards. He names a black card, say
the 8S, and slips out one of his blanks. Flipping it over he claims that
this one is also the one he named, the 8S!
The spectators are
less than convinced by this so the performer says he will prove that the
two cards were indeed removed. Picking up the spectator's 4D, he places
it 'face up' onto the top of the performer's pile and cuts it to the
center. He does the same with his 8S, cutting it 'face up' into the
middle of the spectator's pile.
The performer then states: "Because
we have exchanged cards, my 8S is the only black card in amongst all of
your red cards. And in my pile of black cards, your 4D is the only red
one. Because of this our two cards are the odd ones out, and as a result
they will stand out so much that we will actually be able to see them."
With
a snap of his fingers over the two piles the performer ribbon spreads
the spectator's half to reveal an 8S printed card face in the center,
and spreading his half one printed face is seen there too, and it's the
spectator's freely named 4D!
Everything you need to perform this masterpiece is included in the package.
