Magicians Choice to force a card

Postby intimaterush » Sep 19th, '13, 02:00



Hey guys,

A magician at my last local society meeting one of the magicians was telling me how he forces a card using MC. Now I use MC with a set of photographs for force the last photo, but this guy used a different question each time, so the punter never questions what's going on.
Does anyone know the 'script' or anything similar?

Buy Max Maven's 'Multiplicity.' The best work on MC on the market. It's expensive, but it's a master class on the subject with tonnes of effects and ideas.

The other source, and it sounds a lot like what you describe, is E'voque from Docc Hilford.

There have been many an essay on this topic but Max's and Docc's are the two best to learn from.

Thanks guys. I'll look into them.
I'm always like a puppy at each months magic society meeting. I get so excited swapping tricks and learning new stuff some just doesn't go into to my fable brain!
He only bit I remember is the story goes along the lines of walking into a casino. The only line I remember is "In one hand you have the heart, the other hand the diamonds. Which one do you place on the table?"
It really is very clever.

Colin Mcleod and Joshua Quinn have both published work on full deck equivoque.

Colin covers it on the 'Opening Minds' DVD set and in his Penguin Lecture. Joshua Quinn's routine is included in his book 'Paralies'.

Once again thank you.
I popped over to our magic society librarian tonight hoping to pick up a DVD, but the ones he though would be best are either out or on VHS.

Off topic, but one of the DVD I took back was Wayne Dobson - Unclamped.
If you've not seen it it's a pleasure to watch.
