Disappearance Of A Card Thought Of By A Spectator
The performer passes a number of cards from hand to hand, with faces toward the audience. A spectator is now asked to remember any card he sees. Upon this being done, the performer
again passes the cards from hand to hand, one at a time, when it is discovered that the card thought of has disappeared.
A second card is similarly treated.
To produce the above effect, the performer must obtain a pack of cards consisting only of twenty-six, but with no backs, each side being a face. On one side are pictures of
twenty-six cards, and on the other side the remaining twenty-six. The cards should be arranged in a haphazard manner. When the spectator has mentally noted a certain card, the
performer, under cover of his hand, turns the pack round, so that the other twenty-six cards are visible to the audience. Upon their being passed slowly from hand to hand, it is
found, of course, that the chosen card has vanished.
This can naturally be repeated. If desired, two or three spectators can note cards at the same time.
