A new download by Cameron Francis. I wonder if it is as good as Deceit Treat.

http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/9425

1. This trick fools everyone.
2. Whatever you think the secret is, it's better than that.

First, you have your spectator MERELY THINK of a number, then SECRETLY deal that number of cards.

Second, you have her FREELY choose ANY ONE of those cards and LOSE IT IN THE DECK, and then! Just so you have no clue, you have her shuffle and lose the packet in the pack as well.

CLIMAX #1
As hopelessly fair as that sounds, you're able to READ HER MIND and divine the identity of the card!

CLIMAX #2
With a sweet spin move, a packet of cards flies out of the pack... a packet which HAPPENS to contain EXACTLY the number they had originally thought of.

CLIMAX #3
When they're done counting the cards of the packet, they turn over the top card, AND IT'S THEIR EXACT CARD.

If you need a big finale for your card set, look no further. Counter Intuitive fools everybody, and DOES NOT require complicated sleight-of-hand OR crazy stacked deck work. YOU WILL LOVE the brilliant secret.

Is the version in "PASTEBOARD PROCLIVITIES" the self working or the SOH? I guess you could call the cut at the end a move.

I've refined it since PP. Both versions are a little different than the trick in the ebook.

Ok, thanks. I grabbed Deceit Treat when that download came out and ended up picking up the "P.P. PDF" during your last sale. I Knew Deceit Treat was presented differently in the download compared to the PDF, So I naturally wondered how different this one was.

I'm horrible at counting in my head. Will this make my brain malfunction?

This is a trick that I have been playing with, on-and-off, for over four years. I kept trying to streamline the handling and presentation until I had the best version I could come up with. The completely self working version, which is not seen in the trailer, is also very fooling and is also a slightly different effect.

No. There is counting but no adding or subtracting or anything like that. Unless you want to for a different reveal. But absolutely not required for the effect shown in the trailer. Just straight up counting.

How difficult is the version that includes slieght of hands?
and is there anywhere that I could see the self working version? Smile

The SoH version is not difficult at all to do. There is one "move" but it's easy.

Difference between the two:

In the sleight version, you the magician demonstrate mental prowess and slight of hand skill.

In the self working version, you say you are going to test your intuition and the spectator's intuition. You divine the card and then they find their card.

So the sleight free version empowers the spectator a bit more.

Just got this and absolutely love it! Cameron's teaching is excellent, as usual. Both versions are easy and I know I'll use both, but I almost like the non-SoH version better.
Well worth the cost because I know I'll use it a lot. All 5 star reviews on Penguin, which is also no surprise

Can somebody answer if this is a totally normal deck without any work in it. Would be happy to buy this but don’t want to carry a deck set up for just one trick
Thanks a lot

There is a thing you have to do to prep for it but you can do it easily and openly. In fact, I go over ways of doing this FASIDU on the download.

Just curious, what's FASIDU?

Something along the lines of... from a shuffled deck in use.

Usually written as FASDIU, stands for From a Shuffled Deck In Use, meaning no gaffs, stacks, or preparation is required.
