In any regular deck, place a
breather crimp on any card, for instance the seven of
clubs. If you do not know the
breather crimp, you can use any
regular crimp.
Remove the pack from the case, and hand it to the victim to
shuffle, indicating that it should be shuffled overhand. Make
sure that the deck is kept face down. Tell the victim to place
the deck on the table. Say that you will cut to a random card,
and cut to the crimped 7C, flashing the face of the card to
the victim, and ask him to remember it.
Replace the cut packet squarely back on the deck, and again
get the spectator to overhand shuffle the deck face down, and
replace the deck on the table. Cut to the crimp, showing that
you have located the 7C, showing the face card of the cut
packet.
Repeat this effect one more time, then take the pack, cut
the 7C to the bottom, and slip shuffle the deck leaving it
there. Turn the pack face up, showing the 7C on the bottom of
the deck - located again!
Ask for a small number, and using the
glide, produce the 7C from the bottom of the deck at
the specified location. Replace the 7C on top of the deck, and
repeat the slip shuffle, and glide location without first
showing the card on the bottom of the deck - this really
enhances this part of the effect.
Again, replace the 7C on top of the deck, slip shuffle to
the bottom, and use the hindu flash shuffle to show that the
whole deck is in fact made up of 52 seven of clubs. Place the
last packet under the deck so that the seven of clubs is on
the bottom, and push it off onto the table and flip it face
up. Riffle the side of the deck with your left thumb, click
you right fingers and immediately turn the deck face up and
spread the cards in a wide fan to show that they are in fact
all different. The deck and the single 7C can be fully
examined by the victim. ( Don't forget to remove the crimp
first if you are not using the breather crimp!)
There are many different moves you could use in this
routine Although the description is quite long winded, the
effect should be carried out at a brisk pace, and the cards
handled confidently at all times.
