I'm familiar with the tossed out deck and I also with tricks like John Kennedy's "Mind Power Deck". My question to those of you who use the TOD regularly is this: Do you feel that the TOD is superior to those methods wherein the magician must ask certain questions before naming the spectator's card??
In my personal opinion, I believe that to ask questions before naming the card is a definite giveaway that the magician doesn't know the card exactly and must "fish" for the right card. I have used the Mind Power deck and have seen it used by other magicians to great response (so, maybe the questions are not a giveaway??). While I have never used the TOD in performance, I have seen it also get great responses. What do you think???? Thanks, Howard

Tamariz doesn't need a force deck. Think about it, based on what he's published.

The original question was to an imprompto deck... I can offer nothing there....
As to nice routines, Paul Gertner ends his TOD with revealing the 3 thought of cards are the only cards he has left in his hand. It's in his lecture notes from 5 years ago. He uses it in his trade show routines. Good stuff Lynn Fox |

David Regal's "In Flight" doesn't require the typical switch. I'm quite fond of that version myself. Often times I'm wearing jeans and a t-shirt, so the "business" that has to be taken care of leaves me no where to take care of it. That's why I like Regal's version. Start and end with the same deck.

John Archer's version has the spectators completely examine and shuffle the deck first. It can be found on his 2 DVD set "Educating Archer". This is also a hilarious comedy routine. John's tips are worth their weight in gold to the real performer!

Jack Dean came up with "Bagatelle" which uses baggage tags with the names of cities and countries instead of playing cards. It is a refreshing change.

The Svengali or "long and short" principle has been used quite a bit in the past. Al Baker has an excellent deck that can be shown front and back and will force two different cards.
Both the Telematic and the Psychomatic decks marketed a few years back work great as well. Marv Long published his effect "Tossed Way Out". 5 people pick cards and you name off 4. 4 People sit down and one is left standing. A prediction is opened to reveal the exact card of the person left standing. No multiple out and no guess work. You really know what card they are thinking of. Similar in effect to the recent David Ben handling but different method. All the best, Kranzo

Hi Candini,
As far as I know Marv Long's deck is no longer available. If you have the Al Baker book by Todd Karr you can look it up and make one yourself with a little work. All the best, Kranzo

Thanks!
I'm plan on using my bridge size dollar store Svengali deck tonight on stage for TOD. I will explain I am using a smaller deck for safety purposes. I will rubberband it the way Archer teaches (thanks Danny) with some comedy bits if required. Candini Posted: Oct 13, 2006 8:39am -------------------------------- Svengali is so nice but out of 3 spectators I only had two hits. Had to break out ID deck. Funny thing is it got tossed to one woman and her iced tea was knocked over, got her pants all wet. I watched Ted Lesley routine. He does no switch and even though they were the L n L crowd, the reactions were better then most anything he did (Cabaret).

David Ben's version from Tricks is quite intersting. (and the book has just been reprinted) It solves the problem of tossing your deck into a darkened theatre. It also has some interesting outs if you're don't mind a little sleight of hand mixed in with your mentalism.
