Card thru Window
EFFECT:
Performer has a spec. pick a card, shuffled back into the deck, & the deck is then launched at a nerby window. The selected card is stuck to the other side of the glass.
PREPARATION:
If u don't already know, u need 2 of the same card (say 3, for example). The 3 is stuck to the other side of a window using SALIVA. Trust me, this is invisible & works, the less of it the better, just make sure it's secure B4 u try this trick on someone. Knowledge of any force.
METHOD:
Force the 3 on our spec. Have her/him show the card off, but don't let u see. At this point you'd usually have them shuffle the deck, then u launch the deck at a window & it's done, just like Blaine did. There is one problem. What if the spec. sees their card lying on the pavement outside the window, while their card is apparently on the other side of the glass? Sort of blows it a bit, huh. 2 overcome this do the following: don't let the spec. mix their card back in, instead take their card from them (don't look at it, u don't need 2) & do a Marlo-tilt move to control the card to 2nd place. Now the spec. believes their card is lost in the middle. Don't do any fake shuffling as they will now suspect u are controlling their card back 2 the top or something, the spec. ain't stupid. It's better to leave it at the tilt, the card is most definitely (not) in the middle, & u have no clue what it is (apparently). Then tell them u'll find it behind your back. Now all u do is BS a little, put the 2nd card in your back pocket, & bring the deck back 4 some wrong predictions. "Is this your card? How about this one? This card?" (obviously u r wrong) Then just say 'fuck it' & throw the cards, casually, at the window. Then the only 3 around is thru' the glass. The card that could have given u away is safely tucked into your back pocket.
is it me, or does the fact of the card already being stuck to the window give the game away?
