An effect that will make you look like a mental master!
Easy to do and packs a major PUNCH! Your audiences will be talking about this one for a long time!
Effect:
The performer introduces a regular pack of playing cards, which he/she fans, spreads, cuts, shuffles, and freely shows.
Using a marker, he/she then writes a prediction in the form of a name of a card, in the corner of the top-most face-up card of the pack. This prediction-card is then placed face-down on a table.
A spectator is asked to select a card from the pack, which is now ribbon-spread on the table, backs up. Without looking at his/her selected card, he/she places it next to the prediction-card.
The performer then hands both cards faces-down to the spectator for safe-keeping; the spectator holds them against his/her chest.
Re-Cap- There are two face-down cards held by the spectator: One which has a prediction written on the face of one of the cards, the other, a card which was freely-selected by the spectator.
Performer asks the spectator to look at both cards: One card has written on its face "Two of Clubs", and the other card IS THE TWO OF CLUBS!
The performer has successfully predicted the spectator's FREE selection!
The audience can now plainly see this as the spectator shows both cards freely.
