 Posted: Sat Jan 17, 2009 3:38 am Post subject: Best Impromptu Revelation of a Selected Card |
 |
|
What is your favourite card revelation? I'm sure we've all had sudden performance requests and blank out somewhat, and in a pinch many of us would perform some sort of selection and revelation effect. But the question is, HOW do you reveal? What is your preferred method?
Whenever I resort to this type of effect, I typically do a "pulse" revelation by feeling the pulse in the spectator's wrist, and reciting the 13 card values as I do... since I already know the identity of the card (naturally), I can wing it in whatever way I see fit. For example "Ohh, I felt a small bit of a pause when I said "eight".... then do something similar with the suit for the full revelation.

Great topic. I agree with you both, those are the kinds of revelations I would do.

i've done the exact opposite of that a few times.. having the spectator feel my pulse and naming values, making my heart stop on their card
it doesnt really make sence, but its fun.
other than that i would probably get it to my pocket via control and top palm, then say i knew they were going to pick that card and as proof, i put a duplicate of it in my pocket before the show |

You be surprised at how effective this is.
Ask them random questions. As in, birth month, pet number, grade, siblings, etc. But me deadpan, they'll believe it matters. And after each one, do bullsh*t mental calculations. Then stumble around the colour, blah blah.

It's a great standard revelation, for sure, and adds a great entertaining element.

I don't like this question- or the answers.
Anyone want to guess why? |

Is it because we SHOULDN'T simply be doing a standard card reveal? That we shouldn't spontaneously forget material?

Because you like to spontaneously stir up debates in threads that Michael creates? :-p |
Agreed!
