name or number in the phone book. Then you "concentrate" so you can do whatever you are
claiming that you are doing.
Have the host of the party call this randomly selected person(!) Let the host explain what you
are doing, that this is a serious test, and that they should name the first playing card that pops
into their mind - not an obvious one or a "favorite". Once the host tells everyone what card
was "thought about" over the phone... you're a MIRACLE worker!
Combine this with Mr. Cooper's other suggestions (or your own ideas) and this can appear to
be undeniable PROOF of your "abilities". Use an in-the-pocket version with an "astral
projection" theme and ... well...
I have also played with using a pendulum for a spectator or group to tap into their own it}ner
resources to see if they may detect the card in my wallet. In other words... think BIG. I am not
going to go into any more detail about Mr. Coopers suggestions. I will simply say that there is
more here than meets the eye. THINK and you will be very pleased.
Okay, I cannot stand it so I'll tip my mitt more on an idea for a semi-astral effect. This is just
an idea and at this point theoretical, unlike the vast majority of tried and true routines in this
manuscript. So you may play with this as is, or use it as a mere inspiration to get ypu working
on your own version. Still this should essentially work with a few "tweaks". Besides you
know me - if I think something has great possibilities, I'll give it to you! So here we go:
Use the eight card, out-of-your-pocket version. You need the black cards only in your
pockets_ Mention that there are those who can leave their body at will - a conscious "near
death" experience. You however have been training to take this to the next level. "There are
some Gurus who can travel out of their body AND still remain relatively conscious" you note,
"and while it is a difficult balance, and 1 am not 100%, we might give it a try... I don't know...
what do YOU think?", which spurs your friend's and spectator's curiosity.

Once you have properly set a scene for this that fits you, and the host has called a random
person on the phone (speaker phone please), ask this random player if they have a deck of
cards at home. The reason given for using cards is that this is what you have been using as a
focus for your "projections" at home. If they do not have a deck (more people do than one
might think), thank them and have the host call someone else. When you get a random person
with a deck of cards, have them pull out any card and hold it up into the air. "Not an Ace
though, as that 's far too easy - I might merely GUESS that"
AS this is going on, sit down and shudder. Grab a pen like the one you have used on the back
of your cards. Use the pen "as a way to begin to focus on this end' as you twirl the pen in your
hands.
Now go into a SEMI-trance like state. You're going to appear "groggy" and SOMEWHAT out
of consciousness, but you will still be speaking to this person on the phone as you say, '7m
seeing a ... is this a RED card?..." If the answer is affirmative say, " ( thought so - that's the
problem ... Please switch to a black card so I can see it better in that light... Red cards are very
difficult to see in detail this way..."
If it is a black card simply say, "I thought so ...A black card, and...", and continue.
In either case after some build move along with, "I think I have it! What card sir were you
looking at? THAT is what it WAS (Note: Such words suggest the card may be GONE)?...
Hmm... I guess that would explain this...", you proclaim as you begin to snap out of your
sgnv-trance. Continuing, pull out the correct card from the proper pocket and turn pocket
inside out. "We've been MOST successful my friend! I thank you for your HELP..."
If you were "off" then alter your above remarks to include "I was very close... But you are
sti11 holding your card, are you not?... What I have here was as close as I could get... the
(name the card), so I was off... But then just as I was leaving and returning here... with my
pen in the astral plane, I wrote on the card's back...", and show the writing as usual.
Finish in either case by saying, "Now my friend, I am sorry to report that your deck may be
missing a card... but I DO thank you! Please tell me your zip-code so I can send you a little
something for helping us out tonight...", and wiggle the card in the air as you wind up these
remarks. QUICKLY write down his address code and then hang up after a BRIEF final
"thanks - you've been wonderful!". You don't want him to stay-on the phone long afterwards,
as people may begin desiring to ask him some questions.
Notice how you have been in control of the entire conversation anyway, so hanging up is not
an odd nor difficult thing to do.
If you plan on doing this at a party, may I suggest you "load up" with some cheap playing
cards - the kind a common person may have around their house. You may want to go so far as
getting the cheesy ones with the cat or dog on the back - that sort of thing. This way when you
produce the card, it looks far different than the kind of cards any sort of "professional" might
own.
You can, I hope, begin to see how Mr. Cooper's suggestions can be turned into an entirely
different frame of mind and effect. Even if you never try this idea, it should at the very least
make a dramatic point in this regard. Just something to think about... Enjoy!

TWO TO GROW FROM KENNY BUTLER
I first met Kenny Butler at one of Docc's last Weerd Weekends. Both Docc and I were quite
taken with how Mr. Butler had applied our various ideas, and was raking in the money
because of it.
One of the aspects about Kenny that's so outstanding is how diabolical we have found his
simple methods. Mr. Butler is one of those people who may go far too unnoticed within magic
and mentalism, because he is just so brilliantly subtle. Not that Kenny would care all that
much. He's exceedingly busy actually working. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
