Effect: After having a card selected, the performer
drops the deck into a hat. Asking the person how many spots
were on the noted card, the performer reaches into the hat and
pretends to take out that many number of spots and flips them
away. The spectator is now asked to remove the deck and see if
his card is there, but it has vanished! Another spectator
raises the window curtain and, astonishingly enough, the
selected card is seen to be sticking to the outside window
looking in!!
Card Trick:
If at home steal a card from a deck - 2 of spades and 2 of
clubs. Go outside and plant the 2 of spades on the window
looking in. Fake the club card by sticking to it two small
triangles of black paper with saliva. These pieces, over the
club pips, turn them into spade spots. Add this card to the
deck upon your return and force it any way you please but
don't let the spectator look at it himself. Take it from
him/her and step back, holding the card so all but you can see
the face of it. This little distance prevents a close
inspection, but at three feet the card is certainly a spade.
Drop the card on the deck and give it an overhand shuffle
which leaves the fake 2 of spades on the bottom. Drop the deck
into the hat face up and ask the number of spots on the chosen
card. Reach in, and take the pieces of paper, roll them into
three balls in your fingers and flick them away, one at a
time. Take the deck out, face down, and tell the spectator to
find his/her card. It's, of course, gone and you are ready for
the finale with the card being found looking in through the
window.
