Phil Plus Card Trick – Blank
With this ‘Blank’ version of the classic Phil Plus Card Trick you can write your own names onto the backs of the cards, making the deck look a bit more naturally ‘produced’ then the standard pre-printed version!
The spectator is asked to think of a card and the magician will name it, after a moment’s thought he comically announces, “The name of your card is Lucy!” “Well I did say I’d name it, but seriously, what did you actually think of?”
The seven of clubs (for instance) answers the spectator.
Immediately the magician says “That’s right. Lucy is the seven of clubs!”
The cards are removed from the box and shown to have a variety of girls names printed on the back of each card. i.e. Emma, Kate, Lisa.
The spectator’s chosen card (seven of clubs) is removed from the deck and the name on the back of the card is Lucy.
The magician then reverses the roles, the magician thinks of a card and writes it down, while the spectator thinks of a girl’s name.
The magician fans through the deck to find the card with spectator’s chosen name on the back, the card is shown to be the four of hearts.
When the magician’s prediction is shown, it is indeed the four of hearts!
Self working, not a Svengali Deck.
