https://www.lybrary.com/the-cerebral-app......921.html The Cerebral Approach: Book Six: Lucky Locator by Nick Conticello Nick Conticello wraps up his latest series with an effect which will amaze laypeople and fracture magicians! Working with a shuffled, borrowed deck, the performer looks through it to find a "lucky locator card." After some shuffling a volunteer cuts the pack, counts off ten cards and thinks of one, then buries the counted cards in the deck and cuts it. The performer runs through the deck and takes out the lucky locator. He begins describing the locator to the person who selected the card. Sometimes he's lucky and the locator card is the selection. Sometimes he's not, so he spells out a phrase describing the locator, such as "black Queen" or "red Diamond" and the last card of the spell is the selection. No sleights, no preparation. This is an excellent opener or stand-alone item. 1st edition 2019, 4 pages. word count: 1567 which is equivalent to 6 standard pages of text |

I really liked this. I did this on my channel if you would like to see it.

I don't have anything specific to say about this particular effect, but I met Nick a few times, and was saddened to learn of his passing at the beginning of the pandemic. He was a kind, interesting, and brilliant guy. We talked about magic, Orson Welles, and other arcane subjects, and he fooled me badly with his signature brand of mathematical effects. Hopefully someday someone will collect and publish his body of work.
