Hey guys,
Here's something that might interest you and it's a clever effect by Jeremy Moncrief. Here's the effect description: "You present a deck of cards to a spectator to hold. Begin by telling them that in life some of our choices are made by us, and some are made for us. The choices that are made for us are part of our destiny in life. Have the spectator that is holding the deck, name any one of the 52 cards. Lets say he names the 10 of diamonds. Bring out a memo pad. Open the memo pad to show that on the first page is a formula already written but nothing is on the other pages. Begin to talk about how you are going to use his birthday to show how sometimes your destiny is chosen for you. Pull out a pen, make sure it writes, and then hand the memo pad and pen to the spectator. On the paper, he will find a formula using the month and day of his birthday. Explain that he will add and subtract different numbers based on days of the week, hours in a day, and the seasons of the year to get his own astrological number. Have him complete the formula. Once he has his astrological number, which is for his eyes only, have him open the deck. While he is doing that you ask him, “You chose a totally random card? You have your astrological number? And, “You have been holding the deck of cards the entire time, right?” He will respond with yes. Then have him count the cards out, one at a time, down to the number right before his astrological number. (Let’s say his number is 3. They will count down to 2 and stop.) Ask him to tell his astrological number. He will say 3. And ask what was your card? He will say the 10 of Diamonds. Now he will flip over the 3rd card, and there’s the 10 of diamonds! And now you know that sometimes your destiny is planned for you!" I was lucky to get the review copy and it's very, very interesting. I really like the method which is sneaky, and the dirty work (which is super simple) is done long before the real effect begins. If you know how to add and subtract simple numbers, you will perform this in no time. If you'll decide to order it, you'll get a printed booklet, memo pad, extra sticker and two cheat cards.

"Don't expect cheers after you perform this one, just silence. Stunned silence. A rare trick that hits on both the amazement level and the emotional level."

I have recently purchased this directly from Jeremy and think I've got something that I look forward to presenting..
I am very influenced by effects which require little slight of hand, offer an opportunity for customized presentation stories and are easy to handle. This readily fits those parameters. The premise here is not what one ordinarily finds in magic and I feel it is unique. I am challenged to come up with an individualized way to present the effect. In conclusion I have a very worthy effect which is very fairly priced. Try it... |

A different and unique perspective on the Card at a number theme. Not only a single effect rather a 10 minute presentation. I like it.
