Hello Café Members. I Just want to let you guys know that I thought up a trick of mine that I might want to sell as an E-book. I did this trick recently for about 10 Laymen and I got huge reactions from this trick. Can you guys please post a review of what you think of this trick, Thanx.
Effect: The Magician shows a deck of cards and then writes a prediction on a back of a playing card. Then a spectator freely chooses any card (No Force) they want and returns it back into the deck. The magician then takes the card he wrote on and reveals that his prediction matches the spectator's chosen card! But to take it one step further, the card that the Magician wrote on turns into the Spectators Card!!! They can keep the Card as a souvenir at the end of the trick. *Easy Handling, No Rough/Smooth, No Palming, The spectator really does picks ANY card they want. *A Self-Working/Very simple trick to do and has been audience tested many times. Some people has been telling me they don't really understand the effect to this trick, so I will put up a demo for this trick ASAP. Thanx. |

I think I follow, but I *think* I've seen something like that before.... (I'm thinking Greg Wilson does something like that with a blank deck). To be sure, I'd like to see a demo.
Are you planning on selling or marketing this? If so, read this nice little thread I put together some time ago. http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......59&1 - Alex

Isn't a prediction supposed to be written BEFORE a card is chosen. If you write it afterwards than it's not a prediction, it's just a revelation.
One more thing: Performing it for 10 people is not enough. How about performing it for a year or two and refine it as much as possible. Then you may think about releasing it.

It sounds like a trick Simon Aronson released a few years ago. It sounds similar to "dark card."
But if I'm reading your description right it sounds like a simple signing the back of a double lift.

That way you can get a diverse feedback about reactions and responses. Plus, when time comes along to sell it, you will have reviews ready and be 'rarin' to go. - Alex

Alex,
Frank was replying to the original post, not yours; the one where Nick wrote, "I did this trick recently for about 10 Laymen and I got huge reactions from this trick." As I think we all agree, 10 people is not enough to judge an effect before marketing it. You need to use the effect time and time again, for long enough to be able to work out all the kinks. I've been doing my "Linked 4 Life" for longer than I can remember, definitely at least five years. I just released it this month. You seem to be saying that you've only done this for ten people, ever. That's a huge difference. And if you haven't yet, I'll repeat what's already been said...go read Alex's thread, which includes some of my comments as well.
Note: I have PMs turned off; if you want to reach me, please e-mail [email]Andy.MagicCafe@DucksEcho.com[/email]!

For the next two weeks I'm going to try to market either this effect or the other one, Foreign.
Thanks for all your replies, it was a very big help. |
