This is an unique card trick.  It is a card trick without the use of actual playing cards.  It is a comedy revelation of not one, but two, thought-of playing cards.

In its basic effect, a spectator merely thinks of any card in a deck.  Performer shows a kind of eye chart and asks the spectator some questions.  The chart is opened to reveal a 14 of spades, and then opened further to reveal a 15 of diamonds.  Both of these unusual playing cards cause the audience much laughter.  It is opened two more times to reveal more gags.  Although the spectator answers some questions along the way, they are not enough to tell the performer the actual identity of the thought-of card.  Yet, the performer can divine the name of this selected card.

The chart is opened to its fullest to show a picture of a full deck of cards haphazardly spread face up all over the floor.  Another spectator is asked to note one of these cards.  The performer is able to tell the spectator’s chosen card.

You receive a well printed full colour eye chart and an instructional DVD.  The eye chart is small enough to be used in walk-around or close-up performances, and yet large enough for use in cabaret performances.

The most effective way of performing this effect is to use actual playing cards.  The first revelation is made using a well-known gimmicked deck, while the performer simply brings out the second chosen card from his pocket.  Both of these variations are shown in the DVD.

The two revelations are based on two well-known principles and are easy to executive.  The way the routine is structured gives you all the required built-in comedy.  The trick requires hardly any set-up.  (4/5 stars rating)
