The EffectPOSSIBLY THE MOST AMAZING “THINK OF A CARD” METHOD IN YEARS!

“If you are seeking the holy grail of truly prop-less mentalism then you NEED to get this routine. Ben’s thinking has always been unique and here he excels himself!”– Marc Paul(UK)

WHAT IS SILENT RUNNING?SILENT RUNNING is a “Think Of A Card” concept that requires no props at all. You don’t even need a deck of cards. Any spectator is asked to THINK of any number from 1-10， and then asked to THINK of a suit (either Clubs， Hearts， Spades or Diamonds). She does ALL OF THIS IN HER HEAD-TELLING YOU NOTHING. In her MIND she combines the chosen number and suit to create the visual image of a playing card. Again， SHE SAYS NOTHING! Once it’s confirmed that she is thinking of a card that NO ONE CAN POSSIBLY KNOW， you proceed to reveal it in any number of ways， including：
