I was doing card magic at a party for some people, and there was this one girl who seemed to be really receptive to all the magic I was doing. Then, the following happened.
I had her think of a card. I pretended to read her mind, figuring, what the heck, it might work. I slowly worked my way along. I guessed the color, then the fact that it was a court card, and then that it was a queen. By this point, she was ready to start a religion. But I guessed the suit wrong! I thought it was a heart, like all girls think of, but it ended up being a diamond. Argh! So I ask this question. Where can I learn a "think of a card" with multiple outs? I want to learn one that's convincing, where it seems like you're actually reading their mind, and not just screwing around with a bunch of linguistic deception. I know Milton Kort/Ron Bauer's private studies has something like this, but I wanted to know what else is out there.

But I don't know anything about the multiple-out principle. I just got lucky that time!

If you don't mind TAKING the card instead of naming it, you could go for Kolossal Killer... as a multiple out, of course.
You could use "truly invisible", "KENT" or such to get the card... Or you could use your own marvelous system and only use KK as an out... |

David Harkey and Eric Anderson have a book out called, "Ah-Ha!". In it, there's a great trick called "Outsmart" which is an ingenious multiple-out routine. Of course, I perform it a little differently than it's written in the book.

A pocket index and instead of cards have small envelopes with poetic messages about that particular card.

And often a 'near-miss' is just as effective as getting it 100%. It's all in the presentation.

Exactly, or what about a thought of card effect using Bannens 8 card system or something similiar.
One day I will write a book

Roger Crosthwaite has been "obsessed"
with this effect for many years and has published a lot of variations. Very nice card worker. Tom |

I would reccommend that you either purchase Kollasal Killer by Kenton Knepper, or Heirloom, while close in nature, still pertain to the think-of-a-card-and-I-know-it plot

The closest I've seen to the "real thing" is Derren Brown's Invisible Deal from his Devil's Picturebook video.
Every problem contains the seeds of its own solution. Unfortunately every problem also contains the seeds of an infinite number of non-solutions, so that first part really isn't super helpful.

Another source I forgot to mention is
The Complete Works Of Derek Dingle By Richard Kaufman. It has Derek's think-a-card routine which he did on TV on the Barbara Walters show. He got a great reaction with this. Tom |

Try Milt Kort's All Outs. It is a great think of a card trick. Spectator never has to touch a card. All you need to cary is a deck of cards or borrow a deck.
