Impromptu
Card Find
By Alvie
This trick is reasonably easy
Effect:
A Card is
selected by a spectator and placed back on top of the pack.
The pack is then cut several times and handed back to the magician.
A pile of cards suddenly fall off the pack leaving the magician
holding the spectators card .
Method:
When the
card is selected the card on the bottom of the pack is crimped by the
magicians pinky.
The
spectators card is then placed on the top of the pack and the pack is
cut.
This now
means that the spectators card is underneath the crimped card.
The pack
can be passed around the room to be cut several times and the
spectators card will always be under the
crimped card.
The pack
is then handed back to the magician who quietly puts his thumb under
the crimped card, appearing to be clumsy and allows the cards above
his thumb to fall on the floor. The card under his thumb will be the
spectators.
The
magician can also allow the rest of the cards to fall leaving only the
spectators card in his hand.
This trick
looks amazing because the audience has seen that the magician has not
had a lot of contact with the pack and the whole routine has been
totally impromptu.
