You produce three paperback books and invite a spectator to choose one of them. Another spectator cuts a deck of cards anywhere they like and adds together the values of the first two cards on the bottom pile
Whatever number they get, you ask the first spectator to turn to that page in the book and concentrate on the first line of the page.
You concentrate and then announce a couple of words Then you pick up a notepad and scribble something onto it. You ask the spectator to read the sentence aloud and it matches what you have written.
Book Tests are a staple part of mind reading and there are hundreds of methods. This is one of the simplest and uses another stacked deck, calles a 14/15 stack.
To create the stack, remove the Ace of Hearts and Ace of Spades and arrange the remaining cards as follows, with the 7D at the Bottom, all cards face down :
Wherever the cards are cut, the first two cards on the bottom stack will alwats total 14 or 15.
You've probably figured out that you use the magician's choice explain earlier to force your spectator to choose the book you need
Book Test - Alternative Handlings :
A variation on this effect is to get a general impression of what's happening on pages 14 and 15. you can then draw a picture that illustrates the action in the book
You can also perform this giving the spectator a completely free choice of book. Write lines 14 and 15 from each of the three books very lightly in pencil on your notepad. This will not be visible from a distance but means you don't have to memorize each of the six lines
Effect 6 : Find the Lady
You show three playing cards, one a queen and the other two ordinary number cards. you place them face down and shuffle them around rapidly then invite a spectator to find the lady(the queen). Sometimes they win, sometimes they lose. then you invite them to shuffle the cards and you find the lady. you win every time.
The cards are then turned face up and the same thing is done, this time with your back turned so you can't see the cards. Once again your are able to consistently predict Where the spectator will place the Queen
Find the Lady was a favorite trick amongst street con artist. To make the first part of the routine work, you need to mark the back of the queen so you can always find it. This should be done very subtly so only you know what to look for.
Look at the two card backs below :
[여기서 그냥 카드 뒷면 두장이 그려져잇음 내가맨날쓰는거알지;;?]
The card on the right has been marked by carefully coloring in one of the white birds on the cyclist's left shoulder to match the backing. Depending on the back design, you can mark the card in anyway you like - so long as you can easily find the queen.
It is also Possible to buy Whole dcks of marked cards but some systems are rather obcious.
Just remember to only use marked cards for entertainment purposes - never involve real money betting in Find the Lady
To make this effect really work, you'll need to improvise patter based on where they place the Lady. For instance :
" Ok, so you put the Queen on the left last time, now most people will put it in the same place the second time but you don't seem like most people. l?I?[엘인지 아이인지;;]reckon you'll have put it in the middle."
" so you put the Queen on the left the first time and in the middle the second time.
A lot of people would then go back to the left but you know I'm expecting you not to do the obvious, so you would have stuck in the middle.
Except you didn't - you suspected l?I?[햇갈림 ㅠ_ㅠ;;]'d know that so have gone For the right hand side !"
For the second Part of the routine you need a confederate. They signal to you the Position of the Queen.
One method you could use is to have your confederate sit or stand with his chin in hand.
His forefinger indicates the position of the Queen, as below:
[자신의입술을 손가락으로 Left Middle Right 가리키고 잇음;;]
And of coures, make sure your confedrate sits in a position where you can easily see them without marking strange movements. A casual glance out into aduience should be enough.
