Hello:

I noticed Meir Yedid has a jumbo version of the Princess Card Trick (7 x 11 inch cards). I think this could be a fun piece that involves the whole audience: Show the cards. Tell all the kids to think of a card, but tell them not to tell me or anyone else the card. One card is removed, and then cards are spread to show each child's card is gone. Then move on quickly before they have much of a chance to compare thought-of cards, etc.

I know this trick has been exposed to death via the internet, but I think it has much potential for a fun, short interlude piece.

Anybody care to comment? What do you think?

Ron

I think its a lot nicer seeing it live than online, it is a great little trick. Whsts the price like?
Matt

Have not seen however I do think it is GREAT onlne! I have it on my website and I always hav people tell me they cannot figure it out.

Ken

I have a online version at http://www.funnybones.com.au/toppage13.htm its very silly

Ron

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Did not know the trick was out.

ken

No problem, Ken. But how do you think this will play for a group of children? I think I will do this as a real quick routine while a child helper signs a silk for another routine. Seems like this will be perfect to use during some dead time.

Ron

I think it would play great for kids, over the age of about 7 or 8.
Not a heavy piece but, as you say, Ron, a quick interlude.

Ha ha ha, Nicholas has the best online version I've ever seen. Made me laugh, anyhoo.

I totally agree, MagicGeorge! Nicholas is one creative guy! Hehehe!

Could you make it using animals of different colours etc.
Tom

I have thought about this myself, but I think with animals they may catch on, colors too, and simple numbers. Face cards seem to work so well because there are 2 identifiers, the value and the suit. What if we had Jumbo cards with a colored circle in the center and a number on the corner?

Thanks for the input. I just ordered the set today from Hocus Pocus. The set should be here in a few days, and I'll give a quick review, if anyone is interested.

I just love things like this: quick, angle-proof, play big-packs small. I think it's going to be a nice little addition to my show.

Ron

Nicholas you CRAZY CRAZY person, but very funny, I hope pablo doesn't eat your cards on a regular basis,!

Hello All:

I received the Jumbo Cards today and they are beautifully made. If anyone has the Jumbo B'wave the cards are very similar in quality, but a tad nicer! They are a bit on the expensive side - $65.00.

I'm looking forward to doing this; I will post my experience soon.

Ron

Nicholas, that is extremely funny!

I have been doing a version of this since 1991. Had my own jumbo set made and it kills.

Quick, Light and easy:

What kind of backs do they have? Are they Bicycle cards?
