The Spectator Becomes a Magician
Here is a very diverting effect obtained by the simplest possible
means, the only precaution necessary
being the use of white margin cards.
Secretly note the bottom card and
reverse it *. Shuffle, leaving it
there with one card below it. Fan
the deck to show that the cards are
well mixed, really your purpose is
for your victim to note
unconsciously that they all face one
way.
This is safe since the white
margin only of the reversed card
will show.
Tell a spectator that he seems to
have all the characteristics of a
successful magician and suggest that
he try to do a trick. Hand the deck
to him, show him how to spread the
cards, thus avoiding any danger of
his exposing the reversed card next
the bottom. Draw a card and pretend
to note what it is. Replace it and
have him cut the pack once.
Say that to make a chosen card
reverse itself amongst the rest all
that is necessary is for him to
"will" it to do so, the more
strongly he concentrates his
thoughts, the more likely he is to
succeed, and so on. Finally name the
card you reversed as being the card
you just drew. Let him spread the
cards face up. He finds one card
face down. It is the card you named. |
