I just released my first e-book: http://www.lulu.com/product/e-boek/1-2-3-card/6274289?productTrackingContext=center_search_results You show a deck of cards to a volunteer from the audience. Every card has a number written on the back. You explain that the cards are numbered from 1 to 52, in an order reflecting the structure of the human mind itself. The deck is fanned open to show that the cards are all normal – there is nothing out of the ordinary about them beyond the large numbers on their backs. The volunteer selects three cards, and these are laid on the table, face-up. The cards are turned over, and it is revealed that the volunteer has selected cards numbered 1, 2 and 3. Since this is far more than a coincidence, you explain that it is the product of mind control and behavioral psychology. Do this wow-effect yourself. It’s easy to set up and easy to perform, but it will give you a great satisfaction and it will leave the spectator puzzled. This trick is completely self working, it’s a really easy to do mental effect. Especially for beginners in mentalism, because the 1-2-3 card trick does not use difficult moves or other typical magician’s gadgets. • No sleight of hand • No rough/smooth • No specially printed cards • No gaffs or gimmicks • No Svengali principle • No stripper principle • No marked cards • No one way force deck • No ultra thin cards • No assistants or stooges This trick can be done with just one single deck of cards. You don’t need a gaff or a gimmick, you don’t need to buy things at a magic shop. The only necessities are a permanent marker and a deck of cards. You can use any deck of cards, like an old deck which isn’t smooth anymore (no sleights are needed). |
