A Stunning Mentalism Effect!

Experience a mesmerizing piece of mentalism that is entirely self-working, practical, and astonishing!

Effect:

The magician presents a shuffled deck of cards and invites a spectator to touch any card, ensuring a genuine free choice. For instance, if the spectator selects the Five of Diamonds, it is placed face up on the table. The magician instructs the spectator to use the value of their chosen card to locate another card. The deck is flipped face down, and the spectator deals five cards from the top. The fifth card revealed is the Nine of Clubs. Next, nine additional cards are dealt, with the ninth card showing the Four of Spades.

Afterward, the magician hands the spectator a business card and asks them to total the three face-up cards on the table. The spectator writes down 18. When prompted to flip over their initially chosen card, they discover a message on the back: “Turn The Box Over.” Upon turning the card case over, they find the number 18 boldly written on the other side!

• Self-working!
• No memory required!
• Instant reset!
• No gaffed cards involved!

Bonus Effect: Word-A-Day

The magician introduces a deck of cards alongside a pocket calendar, claiming each day features a unique word. The spectator verifies this by examining the calendar. They then freely select a card to represent a month, such as the Four of Clubs. The magician states, “Now let’s generate a random day of the month. Since you chose four, count down four cards from the top of the deck.” The spectator counts four cards and reveals the Ten of Hearts, then counts ten more cards to uncover the Four of Spades. Adding these cards together results in a total of 18, indicating April 18th. The spectator is then asked to open the diary to that date, discovering the word “Chair.” When they turn over the Four of Clubs, they find a message on the back: “Turn the Box Over.” Upon flipping the card case, a drawing of a chair is revealed!
