The 1CR experiment

Postby Lawrence » Oct 25th, '11, 15:01



Also posted in mentalists only section for obvious reasons but I thought I'd open this up to the wider audience:

Earlier on in the year I came up with the concept of completely removing method AND trick from an effect.
The idea being to create to illusion/reaction of a trick being done without actually having done a trick.

I think I have it.
1CR = One Card Reaction. The premise being that you simply walk up to someone and silently hand them a face down playing card; they turn it over and have a genuine reaction (please note this is not IS).

I would like a few people to help me participate in an experiments. I'm happy to distribute a few 1CR cards in the post to people. Simply recieving these will also give you them [eh hem] "method" involved. All I ask is that you record yourself opening the delivery and e-mail this over to me.

Open minded folk only please

PM me for participation or further details

Cheers, guys
Lawrence

I'm guessing when Lawrence says that not all requests will be accepted he means falling at this hurdle :shock:

Damn you and your unlimited amount of cool stuff!

My only saving grace is that your wife is the recipient and will use the money wisely. :twisted:
