Psychic Hat Pins (Dick Zimmerman)......$25.00
This close-up mystery has baffled both laymen and magicians for
many years. Although it is not difficult to do, there are a number of
important details which make it successful. Learn them and you will
have a feature routine!
Effect: Two spectators each freely select a playing card. The cards
are replaced in the deck which is ribbon-spread face down in four
rows and covered with a sheet of tissue paper. While one spectator
concentrates on their card, the performer slowly moves an
old-fashioned hat pin back and forth over the tissue. Suddenly, the
pin drops to the paper as though attracted by an unseen force. A
spectator tries to duplicate the magician's actions with another pin.
It, too, sticks into the paper which is slowly torn away, leaving the hat
pins sticking into two cards. The surrounding cards are turned face
up to show that any of them could have been stabbed. The two
stabbed cards are now revealed and they prove to be the two
selected cards!
