I believe this trick is in the public domain (sort of) I don't remember the name, so I cant search for it in the forums)

Anyway, as best as I can recall you shuffle cards together some face up some face down..then you pull out a prediction slip of paper that says there will be 16 (or some number face up cards) you open up the prediction paper further and it says all the face up cards will be red..you open the paper one more fold and the prediction says except the 7 of clubs (or whatever card is previously set up..Does this sound familiar to anyone?..

This trick is shuffle board by simon aronson.

Thanks Ryan...I remembered and I also remembered I liked Aldo Columbinis routine..do you think this is reasonably decent to do in a table walk around situation?

I think it is a bit too involved for walk around but I loved using it for small parlor scenarios and would do at a walk around gig at the end of the night for those people that wanted to see one more.

I have an audition for the owners of a local restaurant coming up coming up probably going to entertain them with a small sponge ball routine, then do a coin routine, coin through glass (something simple) then wow them with Invisible or Brainwave deck..

You might even want to check out my effect, THE EQUALIZER, which is a strong IMPROMPTU version of Shuffle Board, and which many have told me is worth much more than the price of the book...in the Trend Setters section of LORAYNE: THE CLASSIC COLLECTION, Vol. 3.

Hello Mr. Lorayne...We ,et many years ago in New York and at various magic events over the years...I believe (but I may be mistaken) I have even been to your apartment in the City...
