I've been trying to recall where I had learned a specific over-the phone effect with cards. I am rather confident this was in a mentalism-type publication, probably a book rather than a video. I have been going through some of my stuff but haven't found it yet, and I have forgotten parts of the routine. What compounds the problem is that this might have been showed to me by someone else, but I'm pretty sure I saw it in some book.
What I do remember is that the remote party somehow selected or viewed a card, then dealt cards from a packet containing their selection as if they were dealing a hand of cards, dealing alternatively to the performer and themselves. They would then select either of the packets, and repeat this twice (or more?). I remember some work to get them to select the right packet ("whichever you chose last, this time choose the opposite", "this time choose your own packet"). They would end up with a card in either hand, and you would then tell them which to put aside. The card left was their selection. Does anyone have any ideas? I quite liked this effect, but I haven't tried it in some time and I forget most of the working, especially at the start. Any pointers are appreciated. Thanks. |

Could be a version of "Out of Sorts" by PG, although it sounds less direct.

Its from Radio magic. 3rd CD. Its very good. I use it quite a lot when cards are in play (which isn't very often when I'm doing my regular stuff but for improptu stuff I sometimes do use those blessed pasteboards)
