The Effect
A spec. is given an envelope with a prediction inside. They are asked to create a Two digit Number and then shown and handed a mixed deck of cards. They are then asked to deal down to the number they randomly created and Hey presto the card they count to matches the card in the envelope they were given earlier.
Cost £15.99 from Magic Tao
Difficulty 1
(1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used,
4=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only)
Overall
Although I don't do Card Tricks because of a hand injury and issues, Costas at Magic Tao kindly gave me this the other week. I gave it a try and it does indeed work every time. It involves no Sleights, no R and S, no Switching, only 1 envelope and only 1 card in the envelope. There is also only 1 deck of cards used.
It comes with a fantastic DVD which explains every last detail.
As I say, I don't do Card Tricks as a rule but I do have 1 or 2 card Routines which I use. Now I have 3. Thank you Costas.
