EFFECTIVE FOCUSES AND THEIR CLUES Wayward card. Focus Secret
Directory / Spectacular tricks and their clues Focus Description: At a distance of 1,5-2 m from each other, parallel to the ramp, there are two small tables on the stage. On each of them lies a bright box a little larger than a deck of cards. The magician invites one of the spectators to the stage who wants to help him in demonstrating the trick. To the spectator who has risen on the stage, the host gives a deck of cards with a request to shuffle it in the most thorough way. The shuffled cards are placed by the magician on the nearest table next to the box. He himself, moving to the far table, opens the box lying there, showing those present and his assistant-spectator that it is empty. Having closed the box, the artist puts it in its original place, goes to the table on which the deck of cards lies, opens the empty box here too and, holding it open, asks the assistant to take the top card from the deck. He removes the card and, showing the audience (suppose it was the seven of clubs), puts it in the box. Having closed the box, the magician puts it on the table, and hides the deck in his pocket. Standing in the middle between the tables, the performer makes passes, reminiscent of an invitation to a card to move from one box to another. A few passes - and the artist opens the box in which the seven of clubs was placed - it is not there, it has disappeared. The illusionist approaches the second table, opens the box standing here: the card, it turns out, "flew" into it. Taking the card in his hand, the artist showed it to those present, and then put it back into the box and, having closed it, put it on the table. After that, the host again stands between the tables, makes passes, but already "inviting" the card to return to the first box. Having finished the passes, he opens the first box, but it is empty - the card "did not return". The magician repeats the passes, but the card stubbornly "does not return." "Something's stuck!" - says the performer. He goes to the table on which the box with the card is located, opens the box, but the card is not in it either. Then he quickly returns to the first box, but it is also empty - the card has disappeared. The artist shrugs his shoulders, he is embarrassed. Thinking. Then, as if guessing something, he approaches the assistant spectator and asks him to check if the card has accidentally fallen into his pocket. After checking his pockets, the spectator assures that he does not have this card. Then, after apologizing to him, the artist puts his hand into the outer pocket of his jacket and pulls out the ill-fated card. “I offer my most sincere regrets that everything turned out so ridiculous. But it’s not our fault with you. It’s the bad character of the seven of clubs that’s to blame, this is the most wayward card in the whole deck!” The magician thanks the spectator for his help, and he goes to his place. Focus secret: First of all, you need to make two identical cardboard boxes. Each box consists of two completely identical halves, fastened together along one of the long sides with a strip of black cloth. The dimensions of the halves of the boxes are 70x100x15 mm. Inside each box there is a drop-down bottom, you can see all this in fig. 34. Since you are already familiar with the manufacture of cardboard boxes, you can easily handle this job. Our boxes inside are pasted over with black matte paper, while their cardboard falling bottoms are pasted over with black paper on both sides. From the outside, the boxes are pasted over with bright colored paper of the same color.
For this trick, the artist needed three identical cards - sevens of clubs. He hid one of them in advance under the falling bottom of one box, put the second on top of the deck, and hid the third in the outer pocket of his jacket. Passing the deck to the spectator for shuffling, the presenter took off the top card (seven of clubs) and palmed it in his hand (see Fig. 14). When the shuffled deck was returned to him, he put the seven of clubs on top. So he laid the deck on the table, with the top up.
Since our boxes consist of two completely identical halves, they can be opened from either side, that is, any of the halves can become, at the request of the magician, either the lid or the bottom of the box. The illusionist was the first to open and show the audience an empty box that lay on the table farthest from him. In this box, under its falling bottom, the seven of clubs was hidden, but the audience did not see it. Having closed the box, the presenter put it on the "lid", from which the card hidden in it lay on top of the falling bottom ("appeared"). When the spectator-assistant put the card taken from the deck into the box, it lay on top of the falling bottom, and the magician, having closed the box, put it with the lid down, and the falling bottom hid the card - so it "disappeared". This is the first half of the focus. The second half of it began with the fact that the presenter hid both cards under the falling bottoms of the boxes, so the card "disappeared". When the artist "thought", he rubbed his forehead with his left hand, trying to guess where the card had gone, and kept the second lowered into his jacket pocket, where he took the third seven of clubs, palming it in the palm of his hand (see Fig. 14). While the spectator-assistant was looking for the missing card in his pockets, the artist stood facing the audience, holding his hands behind his back, laying them one on top of the other, and thereby hiding the palmed card. Lowering his hand into his assistant's pocket, he hid the palmed seven of clubs, standing sideways to the audience. But when the magician took the card out of the pocket of the assistant spectator, he did it in such a way that everyone could see this incident. These devices, in combination with others, can be used both for the "disappearance" of small flat objects, such as paper money, etc., and for their "appearance". A very interesting trick can be shown on our boxes if we take two pairs of identical cards, for example, two six of diamonds and two queens of hearts. Taking one six and one lady, we glue them with their backs; we will do the same with the other two cards and dry them under pressure. Let's remove the falling bottoms from the boxes, put a glued pair of cards in one of them, turned upwards with a queen of hearts, and in the other with a six of diamonds. Close the boxes and put them on separate tables. The artist comes to the first table and, having opened the box, shows the audience that there is a queen of hearts in it, and opening the box on the second table, he shows the six of diamonds. The boxes are closed and stand each on its own table. Picking up a "magic" wand, the illusionist, standing between the tables, makes "magic" passes, "conjuring" the cards to change places. And indeed, the cards are obedient to the magician - they have changed places: where there was a queen of hearts, there is a six of diamonds, and vice versa. You guessed it happened at the moment when the artist, having shown the card to the audience, put the closed box on the table - he turned it and put the lid down. Tricks with special cards are best shown after the trick with ordinary cards has been performed. You should take the dissected cards by putting them into the normal deck that you just worked with.
