Think of One by Allan Kronzek (Instant Download)

Experience one of the most powerful effects in magic. With a borrowed shuffled deck, you can reveal a card that your spectator merely thinks of.

“A clean revelation of a genuinely thought-of card, ‘Think of One’ is undoubtedly a modern classic. Allan has cleverly designed this trick to do the work for you. Even better, it requires no special moves. I’ve loved it since he first showed it to me years ago. Don’t miss out on this one … or someone will fool you with it!” – John Bannon

In this stunning effect, the audience member simply thinks of a playing card. They don’t write it down, nor do they manipulate the deck in any way. There’s no forcing or stacking involved. Here’s how it unfolds:

The deck is shuffled in front of the spectator, who thinks of a card from it. They then take a portion of the deck and conceal it in their pocket or card box. The remaining deck is split in half on the table. The magician senses the energy of the deck and, after reading the spectator’s mind, pulls out a single card and places it on the table. When the spectator names their thought-of card, it matches perfectly with the card revealed.

Allan has crafted a sophisticated presentation that offers a remarkably deceptive and straightforward way to unveil a thought-of playing card. The team at Penguin Magic was completely astonished when they first witnessed it at the renowned 4F convention. This can be performed with any borrowed and shuffled deck, making it truly astonishing.
