Hi ursmagicbalu, this routine was already discussed in the forums. No, it's not published.

Haha. Yeah, no. That effect relies on luck. And no sane person would ever ask a layman to spread the cards. This is not something any sane person would want to add to their repertoire. It's YouTube nonsense.

I don't think so. I know the method. Like to check with the original. Mine is fool proof, hope the original too

Quite a few clues in that video.
Yes this effect was published 10 years or so. At least one version of it was screened on British TV. The element of originality in Asi's method is the ability to use any card named by the spectator. A look at the spread will tell you why. And yes it is foolproof. |

This is, without a doubt, one of the best takes on this method I've ever seen. Being able to have any card named is fantastic, and the thinking is genius. While I still like the above-mentioned UK-aried version for what it is (which is a wholly different premise, of course) the chances of me performing this are much greater.
I have a book from 1969 that is almost entirely devoted to this and similar concepts. Funny to think that it's taken over 40 years for it to be brought to what seems like the pinnacle of execution (any card!) It sure never dawned on me to turn it on its head the way Asi conceived. As for the poster a few posts back who made the snipe-y comments about this effect being based on luck and being YouTube magic, all I can say is "Huh?" Although it is entertaining to see someone who is obviously ignorant of the actual method chime in with their hot take and make sweeping declarations. |

Evaluating from the input-output relationship, it is possible to reverse a card as soon as the spectator names a card. The challenge lies in making the spectator's under-the-table reversed card stays hidden when the deck is spread. Another issue arises (during the revelation phase) is when the spectator inserted his reversed card somewhere near the top or the bottom of deck, because it doesn't look so "magical" (the spectator will be suspicious, but not the audience) if his named card appears reversed in the middle of the spread. |

Hi Pasteboard,
I completely understand and agree. It is exactly the same reasoning why I did not mention any exposure-indicating-hypothesis on how this seems to be or might be working. Thanks, g. |
