Breakthrough Card System

Postby chrismyatt82 » Jan 7th, '05, 10:28



Hi guys,

I have been working with this system a bit recently, and as said in the reviews, it is a wonderful sysem to use. I am trying to come up with new ideas to use... and wondering if anyone had any themselves that they use?
I have a great one that i have been doing (which probably many of you use already!) but i display it as a mixed skill of mentalism and card manipulations. Everyone I have shown has been outstanded by it. It is a really old principle which is dressed up somewhat. If anyone wants to know them contact me and I will be happy to share...

Chris

I'm not sure what the BCS is.
Is it a memorized deck system?

I love this system :)

Not entirely original - but a slight variation on the card calling routine in both Mind Mysteries 2 and the BCS booklet. Instead of calling out the cards held by the spec, don't ask them to mix it up and get them to hand out the cards to other people there. Remember the order of handing out and then focus on each person and name their card.

Sounds good, similar to one of Marc Pauls Effects with the jumbo sized cards.
