Mick Ayres and Jim Callahan – In Plain Sight
PDF
In the 1940’s Paul Curry challenged conjurors everywhere with his ‘Unsolved Card Problem’ by describing an amazing effect: A household deck of cards is shuffled by a guest. Next， you openly write the name of a card and show it to the audience. Your guest now deals cards face up， stops at a place of her own choosing， and now deals a single card face down to the table. She now deals the rest of the deck face up until all the cards are on the table. Your predicted card has not been seen. The guest turns over the single face down card…it matches your prediction!
Unfortunately， Paul Curry passed away before coming up with an adequate solution to this daunting presentation…known today as “Curry’s Open Prediction Challenge”. Will Curry’s elusive proposal ever be solved? Yes!
In Plain Sight， a creative collaboration between myself and the controversial paranormalist Jim Callahan， allows you to share this captivating tale with your audience and make history at the same time by solving Curry’s Challenge. This dramatic presentation has earned standing ovations repeatedly. Why? Because， to your audience， In Plain Sight is not just an effect…it is an unforgettable event.
