Paul Fox Miracle Gimmick......$22.00
The ultimate presentation of a classic principle!
This is a simple and direct method for presenting baffling feats of
mind reading. Formerly used exclusively by the inventor, it never
failed to astound and impress even the most intelligent people.
THE FIVE CARD MENTAL SELECTION:
A deck of cards is divided among five spectators. After shuffling,
each person is requested to look their cards over and merely think of
any one of them. Any spectator is then asked to collect all of the
cards and shuffle the deck. After it is returned to him, the performer
explains that he will run through the shuffled deck and call off the
cards as they occur - in order to underscore the chosen cards in the
minds of the selectors.
When the spectators hear their thought of cards mentioned among
the cards as they are read off the selectors are cautioned, however,
not to say anything or indicate in any way, when they hear the names
of their chosen cards. While using the same deck, this simple
procedure enables the performer to get a mental impression of each
selected card, and, remember this, each chosen card is ALWAYS
removed from the deck and held up, with its back toward the
audience, BEFORE the selector is requested to name their
THOUGHT OF CARD! Then, AFTER being named, the card is
turned around and shown to be the one chosen! When done with
jumbo cards, this is in a class by itself. An outstanding mind reading
effect for LARGE audiences!
THE ONE CARD MENTAL SELECTION:
While the performer transfers the cards - one at a time, from hand to
hand, a person is asked to simply THINK of any ONE of the cards
they see in the deck. Then, after the deck has been shuffled by the
person selecting the card, the performer runs through the SAME
deck - calling off the cards as in The Five Card Mental Selection
mentioned above; and, as usual, the performer is ALWAYS able to
remove the correct card from the deck and hold it up - to be named
and THEN shown. If, while performing informally, the performer is
challenged to do the effect again he may repeat either the Five or
One Card Mental Selection - or, do one and then the other!
TELEPHONE - Tel-A-Card:
Performer may call anyone on the telephone and ask him to merely
THINK of ANY card. As in the other routines, the selector is warned
not to speak until spoken to. The person hears the deck shuffled and
then the performer proceeds to read off the cards. After requesting
the selector to write down the name of his chosen card - so he can
concentrate to better advantage, the performer finishes calling off the
cards and finally names the one chosen - while the person, AT THE
OTHER END OF THE PHONE, is gazing at what he had written!
One of the nice features is that the gimmick is everything, and when
its use is understood, it is not necessary to refer to the instructions in
order to do any of the routines. Nothing, except the deck, is ever
seen by the selectors or audience. The deck may be handled with
perfect freedom - as nothing is concealed on the figures or in the
hands. There are no duplicate cards in the deck! No false shuffling!
No dials to set or twist! No memory system or mathematical formula!
The gimmick does everything but whisper the names of the chosen
cards in your ear! The small gimmick is accurately and durably
made and you do not need 20-20 vision to use it.
The well illustrated instructions are in detail, including patter and
presentation for all the above routines. Deck is not included. You
receive a regular size gimmick for use with either bridge or poker
size cards. The special gimmick is enclosed inside the manila
envelope pictured below. We are not at liberty to disclose the very
special gimmick that makes all the above possible.
