A prediction card is given to a spectator to keep in their pocket. They shuffle the deck and name a number. You immediately begin dealing the cards one at a time FACE UP. The card at the spectator’s chosen number perfectly matches the prediction card that has been in their pocket from the beginning! The best part is, they can change their number WHILST THE CARDS ARE BEING DEALT! They can even randomly call out STOP at any point. No matter what decisions they make, the card will always be at their number or wherever they stop.
A large beautiful 167-page book by Joshua Jay on the superlative magic of Troy Hooser. This excellent and well-illustrated book with dozens of fine drawings deals mainly with coins and cards and a few curiosities.
Here at Vanishing Inc., we’re trying d not to over-promise on product descriptions or oversell you. But we mean this: “Bubble Thought” is the best virtual card trick we’ve ever seen. Why? Because it garners gasps and screams. And because it doesn’t require any tedious, mathematical follow-along instructions.
“Bubble Thought” looks like this, and it really is this clean: A spectator grabs any deck of cards from around their house and mixes them thoroughly while you do the same with your deck. They hold the cards up to their screen so you, the performer, can think of one. Then you hold up your cards so they can think of one. Now each of you cuts the pack at any point you like. You each cut to each other’s card. Pure. Simple. Impossible.
Available again at last. This privately printed gem contains the real work for some of the best card marking inks, daubs, shading and blockout inks that the world has ever seen. Even the infamous luminous reader formula is explained, as is an easy method to produce short or narrow cards that doesn’t require a card trimmer!
Best of all, this revised edition includes modern alternatives to the chemical and dye-based compounds, making it easier than ever to obtain professional results in the privacy of your home workshop.
