The Blurb
A breath of fresh air in a world of impractical and over-complicated Card at Any Number solutions.
“Shuffled” is a breath of fresh air in a world of impractical and overcomplicated Card at Any Number solutions. Jos Denys offers a clever routine that is believed to fool everyone. The method allows you to remain practically hands off at all times, creating a test-conditions miracle. It’s easy to do, extremely powerful, and something you can learn in minutes.
In the effect, two envelopes are placed on the table. A spectator is invited to fairly shuffle and examine an ungimmicked deck. You then remove the two predictions from the envelopes. One envelope contains a playing card and the second contains a number. When the spectator counts down to this number, she finds the predicted card. There’s no sleight of hand or open displacements: the card really is at the number the spectator shuffled it to.
– Use your own deck (any back design)
– Includes two versions
– Watch the full performance in the trailer; nothing is left out
– No sleight of hand
– Ingenious new method
You receive all the necessary gimmicks and a 45-minute instructional DVD featuring Jos Denys and Andi Gladwin teaching two routines using the principle (including one where the spectator’s merely thought-of card is found at the predicted number).
Jheff's Guide
WHAT IT IS:
DVD
HOW ACCURATE OR COMPLETE THE BLURB IS:
It is accurate, though it only mentions at the end about Andi Gladwin’s variation, which is really much better than the original and the recommended version.
WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED THAT YOU NEED OR NEED TO KNOW:
There is a one-time set-up of a deck of cards and, if you want to do Andi Gladwin’s version, you’ll need a particular deck which you may already have lying around.
SUITABLE VENUES:
Close-up
JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
Technically, everything here is easy to do and it’s explained well on the instructional DVD. If this interests you, then I think you will really like this approach to this particular plot as it has some very nice advantages to it.
