This
ebook is revealing a free gimmick available in most decks of cards, that can be used for Magic or Mentalism effects.
Basic
effect:
You
remove a playing card from a deck of cards and leave it face down on
the table as a prediction. A spectator then selects a card from the
pack , but when your prediction is turned over, it is wrong ! (Hey!
It's normal as all the cards in a deck are unique!)
Upon
closer inspection, the prediction is revealing itself to be true, and
everything can be justified.”
It
is more or less the same as “The fine print” by Jay SANKEY
(recently re-released by PenguinMagic ), but without any gimmick at
all, and with a different card: With this little secret, you can do
similar effects, and more, but impromptu, anytime, and even with a
borrowed deck. No gimmick or duplicate card is required.
It works with most brands of playing cards (Tally-Ho, standard Bicycle , Phoenix , Bee decks for instance, and
mor). In this ebook, you will find a way to perform this type of
effects with standard BICYCLE decks, WITHOUT any gimmicks.
As
a Bonus, you will learn to repeat the effect with different cards
(any
card!)
You
do not need the Fine Print gimmick(s) but they are highly recommended
for other presentations. And vice versa, even if you already own “The
Fine Print”, this ebook will definitely open new doors.

- A typical example is “The Fine Print” by Jay SANKEY. The difference is that you can do it impromptu, without gimmick, and with some touch of mentalism. “You remove a playing card from a deck of cards and leave it face down on the table as a prediction. A spectator then selects a card from the deck , but when your prediction is turned over, it is wrong ! (Hey! It's normal as all the cards in a deck are unique!)

everything can be justified.”
- Guess this card: You place a card on the table face down, and the spectator has to guess it.

This
is repeated a couple of times.
- Do as I do: There is some dealing and spelling, but I am sure you will find times to perform this, and you will learn two interesting principles.
- Out of the Blue: A quick trick you can try with busy people. «I have a card in my pocket. It's a black card. What is it?»
- Very quick guess: Idem but for very busy people!
- Affinity: The spectator inserts a business card in the deck. Then the card below and the card above are turned over. They do not match, but after a closer look, they do.
- The matching game: An adaptation of an Howard Adams principle.
- Better than nothing: A workaround to predict almost any card based on the “Hidden” concept.
