Loving all these ideas! Thanks for bumping Nikodemus.
I only recently discovered DR, and have been doing Dawn Patrol instead, mostly to avoid needing any setup (outside of the crimp.) Might loop back around to DR with some of these ideas. |

Yes. I recognize their mental "stop", then say their card then follow-up by turning over the last card they have dealt on the table.

You have them deal the cards?

Yes, just like in Bannon's original handling

Hmmm. I first learned it from Dear Mr. Fantasy and in that handling the magician deals the cards and stops when the spectator mentally transmits the "stop!" message.
Dear Mr Fantasy pg 90: Quote: "Ready? Now silently spell the name of your card," he said and began slowly dealing cards. |

My bad, I stand corrected. I think i’ve been mixing up performances in my head.

Intrigued by Redrum. Going to write Max. Thanks, Wravyn.
JonHackl and orenjii's comments got me thinking about other effects that could potentially be improved/made possible by the DR card selection process. To quote Bannon in DMF: "This particular combination is very direct and very impossible. You know, if the procedure is direct enough, I believe civilians can appreciate the 'impossible location' aspect as much as magicians can. With this procedure, after they have buried their card and cut the packet a couple of times, you can tell by their faces that they have no idea how their card can be found under those conditions." * Asi Wind's S.C.A.A.N. - requires getting a selected card into the 26th position * Non-memdeck Aronson's Invisible Card - Not as good as the original, but if you need/want to do a non-memdeck version this could work |

Actually the more I think about using DR to get into Aronson Invisible Card the more excited I get about it. Could use a borrowed and shuffled deck.
"We'll need a card for this trick, and it really doesn't matter which, you could choose any one..." Spread through the cards, do a rhythm count and put the necessary work into the card at your position of choice, then seem to change your mind. "Hmmm, actually let's do this. Cut off a packet of cards, less than half of the deck..." Have the card selected and lost via DR method. "You shuffled, took some cards, shuffled them even more, peeked at a card, then buried that card and cut it multiple times to ensure that it is completely lost. So you'd agree there is no way I could know what your card is or where it is in the deck? For the first time, name your card out loud." "The nine of diamonds? Are you sure? It couldn't be the nine of diamonds, because I put that card in my pocket." Mime taking the card out of your pocket and "show" it. "I made it invisible so you wouldn't notice I removed it. I was planning to use it for a trick later. No seriously. You don't believe me but there is no nine of diamonds in this deck. Here hold onto this for a minute..." Mime handing the spectator the card, and then spread through the deck (a la Aronson IC) to show how the 9D has vanished. "But of course it's not here, because you're holding it. I'd hate to leave an incomplete deck, so will you please place it back in. Thank you very much you did a wonderful job, almost perfect, except you put it face down into these face up cards. We'd better turn it over." Spread through the now face up deck until you get to the single face down card, their selected card. |
