I performed an over-the-phone effect for my uncle and family the other day that went over very well. My uncle is a big reason as to why I am heavily into magic and mentalism. He is a very stressed individual and is faced with high blood pressure and other common health risk factors caused by excessive stress.
This might sound a bit silly, but I swear – when I perform for him it is like instant therapy. His entire outlook immediately changes and I honestly think (so does his wife and family) that his health and stress levels improve because of how much fun he has. I got a little of topic so here is my point: I would like to post this quick effect and the “how to” part as well. I have never read this routine anywhere but I am sure that there are similar versions around. It is a simple effect with a simple method that I found to be quick and lots of fun. I just thought that I would ask before I share just incase someone might be upset by this. I know this is an open forum and I’m not sure if it is a good idea. |

I don't get it......so you are saying that you want to share to us an Effect also with the method?.....please correct me if Im wrong...if Im correct, I think the best way to do this is in the Café Section at "Inner Tought" or "Secret Sessions" but you have to post more than 50 to be able to go there

You can post the effect, just not the method to it... I would be interested to read what you have to say, please continue...

Bushido, I thought that we were supposed to help each other. God forbid that a method that is personal and not a commercial item be exposed to fellow members. As you stated let us not offend anyone. If you want to PM me I'll be more than happy to try to help you.

Thank you all for your opinions, I will not post the method here (although it might be a bit obvious to many) however this is what the effect looked like:
I called my uncle and asked if he wanted to try something over the phone. Of course, he was all for it. He gathered everyone who was home – there were about 5 people with him. I had them gather by a table with a pen and paper. I also asked him to put me on speaker phone so than everyone could hear the conversation. I also asked that the conversation would be only between my uncle and I and everyone else was just to follow along. I asked him to think of a random 2 digit number and write it on the sheet of paper. Once he confirmed that I had him cover the second digit with his hands and focus only on the first. Then cover the first digit and focus on the second. Now I had everyone cover both digits and begin concentrating on the 2 digit number. Without any questions I revealed the 2 digit number and everyone had a great time. Again, nothing new here but I thought a few of you might enjoy the method. I decided to approach this very carefully as the slightest comment on this forum could lead to a lot of bashing. Because of the response so far, I think it might be best to keep the method quiet. I would rather not step on any toes. |

It's amazing what a magic can do. The real "magic" isn't how a trick works, but how the trick affects the audience. I'm sure your uncle does get a lot of benefit from it. Nothing like giving an active mind some problem to try to solve that isn't an anxiety, a health concerns, or pain. And I liked your trick!
