Effect: The magician, demonstrating remarkable foresight and confidence in his abilities, cuts to the exact poker hand revealed by a secret prediction after the spectator shuffles the deck.
For those seeking a more realistic version of the classic 10-card poker demonstration, this presentation offers enhanced credibility and realism. The spectator thoroughly shuffles the deck both before and during the demonstration. The spectator cuts the deck taking the card he cuts to. Magician does the same. This is repeated until both have 5 cards that form a poker hand.
The demonstration concludes with the revelation of a prediction, secretly concealed within a Poker Ranking card that has remained in view throughout the performance, validating both the winning hand and the magician's expertise.
Since the prediction is concealed until the end, this feels like a demonstration of a high-stakes poker game and not a magic trick. Ideas are given so you can create your own presentation.
Included are the two files to print your Poker Ranking card, which the prediction hides within.
- A different approach to an old idea
- No setup
- Instant reset
- A great EDC
- No memory work
- No force
Note: You might want to purchase a corner rounder for $12, though this is not mandatory.
