This trick is awesome!
I just seem to have trouble with the spectator and the spelling part even though I repeat the instructons as Mark says so on the dvd, etc. ... I just wondered if the card in question was higher than a ace or two, would it still work/play well, if they counted, i.e., the 6 clubs, count off 6 cards 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Obviously you just set the cards initially, for this amount to be counted off later by the spectator. Anyone got any thoughts on this? cheers matt |

I am not fond of "spelling" as it comes off as a bit suspicious. Mark Elsdon's pre-prefiguration is an effect that I feel is strong enough to do the spelling if necessary.... I do roll with the punches on this....if I know the card they will be counting is a three or a four or even an eight or nine.....i will say to them...."now ...you have looked at this randomly chosen card....i want you to count the amount of that card....for instance if it is an ace....that is one....a two is two etc......a king would be 13....please count the number of your card...."
You know ahead of time whether the count or the spell will be preferable... ! Very nice effect. |

This trick is virtually identical to "Four-way coincidence" in Cunning Card Miracles by Jerry Mentzer (USA 1999)and credits it to John Murray first published in Card Cavalcade 3.

...pre-prefiguration credited by Mark Elsdon as an alternate (no sleight) handling of a Larry Jennings effect prefiguration.
