A question for those with a lot of Sankey knowledge!

Postby Farlsborough » Mar 16th, '08, 18:31



I recently found a Joker in my magic bag with the words "A Red Card" written on the back of it.

I'm certain this is for a Sankey effect, but I can't remember where to find it. Annoyingly, his effect "Graffiti" uses a very similar principle to get one ahead when writing a prediction, but involves him writing on the front of a card, and for Graffiti it's just a low spot card - I'm sure that I wouldn't have specifically used a joker if it just had to be some card that was "below suspicion."

I keep getting little memory flashes of seeing the explanation - introducing the joker to the deck face up... but just can't place the thing.

Is this ringing any bells for anyone?! :?:

This effect is from 22 blows to the head.

I think its the first effect described in fact

Cheers Flood, but that's "Graffiti" too :(

I'm beginning to wonder if I didn't mis-remember it and then just try to piece it together, but I have these really clear memories of a trick where he writes the prediction down, and it involves adding or taking away the Joker... anyway, thanks for your response.

a packet trick with a red cover? If you search on eBay for Sankey you'll more than find the one I mean, but I'm not sure if that's the right one

This was a hard one! But I've solved it myself... it was a trick from Sankey - Live!

I knew my brain wasn't playing tricks. Ah well, it's a sweet effect, well worth the struggle to re-find it.
