I have a 7 year old "pen-pal" who has Leukemia. We've (& his mom) e-mailed quite often over a year now, I send him tricks, he loves magic. I would like to call him, however I'd like to perform some sort of prediction over the phone for him, he will remember it always! I can send materials to his mom before the call. Does anyone know of a routine that can be accomplished like this? I seem to remember Max Maven having an animal prediction of sorts (move to the nearest blue dog, etc.)Any info or resources would be appreciated!

I seem to recall a nice routine on an A-1 Multimedia tape with Mike Maxwell. It was either on tape one or tape two of the self-working card tricks. You mail a deck of cards, or half the deck to a person, and they think of one, etc. If you'd like, I'll check out my library and see if I can locate the exact video it's on. I recall it was nice that you mailed the deck to the person. If this sounds like something you might like to know more about, let me know and I'll find out what it's called.

Jay Sankey has "Sealed Room Mystery" or something named similar on 22 Blows To The Head... Last effect on the tape.
I think it's a much older trick than this but his presentation isn't bad for it. Many of the "Internet Tricks" you will find work quite well over the phone (even better, cause they can't try it again!) Most, if not all, the ok to good ones can be found at a page you'll now "magically" find in your PM box. Welcome to the Café! Hopefully Slim King will make a post here as he is the expert on these type of tricks and a great performer of them as well. He does them live on a radio show! |

Thank you so much Christopher, I will try to locate both tape 1 & 2. I like the sound of that routine. Kozai, Thank you for the page! Still open for more suggestions....

I should have been more clear that I think the effect in 22 Blows to the Head is the same as Christopher suggested but perhaps an updated handling. Not sure though as this is kind of "the" card effect for over the phone.

I would love to help you! One of the most rewarding things that I do is to perform at Universal Studios for children with medical difficulties. I have over a couple of dozen effects that you can do over the phone. Not all of them would work well for a seven year old. I would reccomend a St****d D**K of some kind of card that he likes...Animals etc. Draw them on blank cards, and then have him SEND you one with his mind...Like in The Locked Room Mystery. He'll have a sence of accomplishment when he's succeeded. PM me if you need other ideas. Hope this helps. Dave

I know Corinda has some telephone tests some of them very clever but how appropriate they are for a seven year old can't say. Slim King by the way does some really neat stuff over the phone I was very impressed with the two shows he sent me. The one's given by Corinda use codes to transmit information and I suspect they can be adopted to the tastes of a seven year old. By the way kudos to both of you for using your magic for healing and caring purposes. This is something I'd like to pursue myself as my skills develop.

Thanks for the compliment!
If you liked the radio show's you'll love the next effect that I've created especially for the Daytona Beach Festival of Magic. It is called CELLBLOCK NUMBER NINE. I will use it for the first time on my radio show next week and then reveal the stage version durring my performance at the Festival.......Max Maven, my favorite, will be there too, by the way.

I think you could do something using anagrams. A kind of a word test...

Perhaps an even better trick (or after your trick) is to teach him the classic "stop me" medium phone trick and let HIM perform with you as the medium. I know as a kid I'd love to have a ready friend!

Does he have access to a laptop with an internet connection? If so you could always Skype with him, then the possibilities are endless!

Patrick Redford himself had an effect on his Penguin lecture that can be done over the phone I believe.

The original post is from 2005. And the subject of phone effects has been covered many times here.
