Effect
The Card Swami is a marvelous magical apparatus that will allow you to perform mind-boggling effects that will fool even the most savvy of magicians. The Card Swami is designed for use with a Bicycle poker-sized deck. Add it to your own deck or a borrowed deck - any brand! When the Card Swami is in your deck, it is completely invisible! Your hands are empty and the faces and backs of all the cards can be shown. You can freely display or mix the cards, even have a spectator cut them. Over a dozen routines are explained including…
Read People's Minds - Many spectators freely select cards without you seeing them. You read each person's mind, one at a time! No forces.
Memorized Deck - You instantly memorize a deck mixed by a spectator, then name the number of cards the spectator cuts off and the card cut to!
Swami Mental Epic - Correctly predict three cards, BEFORE they are freely selected. No
forcing, no questions. Real magic!
Card From Pocket - You remove a card from your pocket, which matches a freely selected card known only to the spectator!
Feeling the Pips - Identify cards just by feeling their faces! Feel the color, then the suit! You can even do this with a borrowed deck!
Phoney Forces - You can show your magic friends the most incredible (and phoney) forces! They'll thing you are a master of sleight of hand!
The Swami - Know what card a spectator freely selected, even before the spectator!


comment
i personally like this trick alot, the card you get is very cleverly made. and it's really easy to use, just get your angle right and you will never get caught. get this if you are into mental magic, ability to read people mind. it'll made you the best mind reader in school or at work. no joke.

rating 8/10

Midge,

I got mine from MagicTricks.co.uk (sorry Laurence - it was back in the abrakazam days and I don't think you had it!) However I just checked and they don't list it any more - neither does Laurence.

Perhaps it isn't available anymore.

It's not a UK site, but they do stock them.
