«
... I have read through your first two presentations and I really
like them. Well done, it sounds really good. I would like
to try it out this weekend with a few friends. Thank you very much
for this! I hope we can meet one day. »

« I
did try it out and it was well received. I do though think that I need to try it out more, as well as trying your other
idea. »....(Trevor
DUFFY)
For those who do not know
it, here is a summary of the effect:
- A deck of cards is placed
on the table. A spectator is asked to merely think of any card. The
performer says: "The name of your card is Phil!".
The deck is shown to have different names printed on the back of
every card, and the named card is found to have the name Phil printed
on the back!
This ebook is not about this
amazing card trick itself (the method(s) will not be revealed), but
rather an alternate presentation with a second climax as well,
that makes it much more powerful and mysterious.
Instead of just a gag, you elevate it to a mental masterpiece. The
second climax is, at least as strong as the « normal »
one: At the end, it leaves a strange feeling and makes the audience
think...It
gets great reactions, congrats, and applause.
Of course, you will need a
Phil deck for two of the examples provided in this ebook. But the
simple and impromptu principle in use can be applied to other effects
where you force something, not only a card, and with
or without a Phil deck. Your juice will start flowing when you
learn it, and you'll be amazed, despite its simplicity, by the extra
reactions you'll get when you add it to your existing routines,(To
illustrate this, there is an impromptu /improvised bonus example that
does not require a Phil deck or cards or anything special).
[This
effect was already included in « Mental Games », but with
a different method for the Phil deck. Here it uses a standard blank
Phil deck. The bonus effect was included in "TRUST".]
