David Forrest – Route 1

Kick off your performance with a blue-backed deck, which you set aside for later. Next, you dazzle your audience using a red deck with your most impressive tricks. As you near the end, you introduce an intriguing experiment—a bold challenge that promises to spark sleepless nights. You invite a spectator to simply THINK of ANY CARD and then THINK of ANY NUMBER between 1 and 52. Their selections are noted on the back of a Joker and displayed for everyone to see. You claim that through shuffling and cutting, you will place the chosen card exactly in the position they named. Initially skeptical, the spectator is then reminded of the blue deck from earlier. This deck is retrieved and handed to another spectator, who counts the cards face up, one for each number. The tension builds as the final card is revealed—it’s the thought-of card!

Here’s the exciting part: ROUTE 1 is nearly SELF-WORKING!
