Real Magic by MagicMark

At an office party in Downtown Denver, Colorado, I was asked to do demonstrate some psychic abilities.

I pulled out a deck of playing cards which were normal in every way except one, they had been hand numbered on the backs (numbers 1-52) and the deck was shuffled so that the numbers were out of sequence.

Three people were asked to help with the demonstration. Without any prodding or pumping from me, each helper named a playing card that they only thought of. And each one of the cards was pulled from the deck and laid face up on the table (3 cards total). Then I laid my 4x6 inch photo (which I took earlier in the day) on the table directly above the 3 randomly selected cards. The photo was a real photo. The photo was of the backs of playing cards from the same deck.

Each card was turned over and found to have the exact same numbers as the numbers in the photograph.

Except for the resizing of these images, there is no PP of these photos.

Enjoy! 8-)

It's magic. If he told you he would have to kill you.

But it is very clever.

Yes, Greg. We've come a long way since the witch hunts. I would never survived back then because I'm a hopelessly perpetual entertainer. :-D

I did a card trick once. I told a guy to pick a card from a deck. He did. I asked him what it was. He told me. I told him that he was correct. Pretty neat, eh?

Some 50 years ago, at a golf tournament a friend did a card trick. Had someone take a card and replace it. Friend , then threw the deck at a wood wall. The picked card only, stuck into the wall.
