Bill Abbott – Smart Ass

Effect

You place a jumbo card face down on a chair without revealing it’s identity.

A participant is invited to sit down on the mystery card and is shown a deck of shuffled playing cards. You explain that they will use their subconscious to deduce the identity of the jumbo card they are sitting on. The spectator cuts the deck into two piles and places them in either hand. They are asked to toss one half away and keep the other. After they do this they cut the remaining cards into two piles， holding one in each hand and they once again toss one pile away and keep the other. Down to the last few cards， the participant chooses one card， having the opportunity to change their mind several times. They make a final selection. With their final choice in hand the spectator stands and picks up the jumbo card， to find it matches their selection EXACTLY!
