If I am on site prior to dinner I get set up to perform my version of a routine called "Chairvoyance" published in Centre Tear. The routine allows me to predict the appearance of the person seated at a particular table.

Last night I was performing for around 120 clients at a black tie dinner. As the men would all be in Dinner suits, I had to make sure I was targeting a lady. Luckily my client had placed litttle table gifts at the ladies places so no problem on that account.Without tipping the method, the information is usually switched in at the last minute. Recently however I have started "predicting" what the person looks like. Guess what, last night I looked at the person seated at the table and her appearance exactly matched my description. imagine the look on my clients face when the lady opened the envelope and read a description of herself. knowing that it had been there throughout dinner and I had never been near her.

My question is have any other members had similar experiences.

On a more minor scale, I asked someone to think of a card (while using an ID) and then did the "...and something difficult, not easy like the Ace of Spades..." thing, and the person freaked out because they had already thought of that card . I'm sure many others have had this same experience, but it was nice nevertheless!

Another time I was outside in a park doing a card teleport trick to some work colleagues, and to show that I made the card disappear from the deck I waved my hands over the face-down cards. At that very moment a slight but continuous gust of wind made the top card of the deck start spinning in ways even some IT couldn't accomplish... I actually was starting to freak myself out before I realized what was happening and was very pleased that I had REALLY managed to perform the impossible!

There've been a couple of threads all about this subject. I've had a few near death experiences that I've come out of spectacularly myself. One time I was holding a deck in my hand while I was talking to my mom about psychics on TV. I said something along the lines of "... yeah, but you never see when they get information totally wrong. At that point, jokingly, I reached into the face-down deck, didn't look at it, showed it to my mom and said "Four of spades!". I was trying to show that psychics got stuff wrong all the time. Imagine my amazement when I turned the card around and it was the freakin' FOUR OF SPADES! Pretty neat if you ask me.

I had a blind fold card-reading routine. I stacked the deck with the bottom three cards as pi(3D,AC,4H) and the one on top of that a king. On the top of the deck, I put a queen of hearts. I left the seven of clubs in the box. I would ask the spec to name a number between 1 and 10. As a slip of the tongue, I changed my mind and made it 5-13. If they didn't say either 7 or 12 (queen), I would second deal the number they say and tell them the top card is the QH. If they said seven or queen, I would ask them to stick a suite to it, like spades or something. If the queen o' hearts was named, I would ask them to lift the top card of the deck. If it was the 7C, I would ask the spec to open the box. If they attached the wrong suite to the right number, I would do a mini-reading and force the bottom cards one by one and name them.

It worked twice to the same audience (my family in France).

But that's not the coolest thing. There's a guy named Harriman, who is a "regular" when it comes to seeing my tricks. His reactions are priceless. One day, he rushed me and said "Do something with the queen of diamonds, now!". I don't have an ID, so I decided to spread through the cards and do a card to pocket or something. Lo and behold, the bottom card was the KH. Priceless.
