But wait! This is impossibe! A spelling effect cant be any good, All the new young guys say so! Spelling tricks are terrible! Audiences don't like them at all.
Michael Vincent, Harry Lorayne, Mike Skinner, Roger Klause, David Williamson, Dai Vernon, Simon Aronson must be wrong. |

I don't know, an ACR or color changing deck. I think spelling tricks -- such as Controlled Spelling, or Intuition Speller (let's not get into arguments) -- need to be built a lot to emphasize the impossibility of the effect. Unfortunately, magicians are the ones who appreciate spelling tricks in its entirety.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of finding a card by spelling. On the Scale of Sheer Impossibility, it falls one rung above a selected card appearing printed on a hanky.
But more power to the magicians who make it work. Horses for courses. |

As a rule, I hate spelling tricks, but Intuition Speller is one that I will do, particularly with a borrowed and shuffled deck. For the owner of said deck, it is an astonishing reveal.
When I would perform it with my own cards, the response was always somewhat muted, which is why I only do this with a borrowed deck.

I loved this effect so much that I even worked a way of doing it in Spanish (my 1st language). This effect works wonders for me.

One of the strongest (meaning strongest "jaw dropping" reactions from laymen) routines I do is my Greatest Card Handler. (Which I've described in a couple of my books.) And it's based on SPELLING.

My most up-to-date version of Greatest Card handler is in Jaw Droppers 1 - which is out of print. You gotta' start buying the good stuff - before they go out of print!

I know! Most of the good material is out of print... Sad that I got started late in magic.
