EFFECTIVE FOCUSES AND THEIR CLUES Raising the chosen card returned to the deck. Focus Secret
Directory / Spectacular tricks and their clues Focus Description: You approach the audience with a deck of cards in your hand. Invite three spectators to choose from a card. You place the selected cards back in different places in the deck, which you then shuffle. You place the shuffled deck on a stand so that the cards are held in a standing position. Ask the spectators who chose the cards to name their cards one by one. The named card slowly rises from the deck, and you stand to the side.
Focus secret: Some magicians playfully vary this trick. For example, you can contact one of the selectors: "I don't ask which card you chose. Just command it to appear to the spectators. And it will obey you." The spectator does this, but without any result - the cards remain motionless. Again you ask to repeat the order, again to no avail. You look embarrassed and say that you have to apologize for disobeying the cards. "I don't know what happened to them. They never behaved so badly before. I'm ashamed that in order to maintain my authority I have to ask you to name the card." The card turns out to be a queen, for example, the queen of spades. “Well then, it’s clear what the matter is. Queens are not used to being addressed so imperiously. Using a different address, we will achieve greater success. Let’s try. Say: “Would you deign to honor us with your presence?” When these words are spoken, the card is immediately raised. Quite often, one of the cards chosen is a jack, and when called, it infuriates you by showing up feet first. You reprimand him and return him to the deck. The second time he appears properly. Sometimes a card, having reached halfway, begins to go back, but at your order it stops and leaves the deck. This amazing performance is performed using fairly simple means. Firstly, it is not the selected cards that rise from the deck, but their doubles. You force a given card to be selected using a forced deck of three repeating cards. It could, for example, include the queen of spades, the nine of hearts and the seven of diamonds, with any other card below. Your stand, in the original form of a trick, has two compartments: one at the front, wide enough to hold an entire deck, and the other at the back, for 6-8 cards. 6 cards are placed in this back compartment: three of them are those that must be raised, and the rest can be any cards. A black silk thread is attached to the upper edge of the partition located between the two compartments and passed under the front card (queen of spades), then over the next one (any card), then under the third (ten of hearts), over the fourth (any card), under the fifth (seven of diamonds), above the sixth (any card), and finally passed into a small hole at the bottom of the rear compartment. If you pull the string, the three named cards will rise, starting from the back, in our case it is the seven of diamonds. The three indifferent cards are needed only as fulcrums for throwing the silk over them and for separating the selected cards. If they were not there, then these cards would rise at the same time. You can pull the thread in different ways. Sometimes you do this yourself, standing at the back or side of the table. You can tie the thread to a small cylindrical weight inside the leg, which is made hollow and filled with sand. The weight lies on the sand until you need the cards to rise. If you need to lift the cards, you move the flap at the base of the leg. This will cause the sand to slowly pour out into the cavity underneath, and the weight, deprived of its support, will gradually fall down, tensioning the thread. In this case, the height of the leg should be no less than the total length of the six cards. Sometimes the thread is pulled using a clock mechanism hidden in the table or in the leg itself. It replaces weights and sand. You can have your assistant pull the thread. He can be behind a screen or stand in plain sight near the table. The thread is almost invisible in a dark background. Only that part of it that is located on light cards may be noticeable. But this part of the thread can be hidden by passing it through a small hole in the table. Since the stand is located directly in front of this hole, the beginning of the thread will fall perpendicularly, which means it will be hidden by the table leg. If there is no such hole in the table, then it is fashionable to attach a metal ring to the table. It's better to have a person tension the thread because then you can time it exactly. Using a clock mechanism, you may find yourself in a situation where the card starts to rise before your order. This trick can be performed without using a stand. You simply force three cards and accept them back into the deck as described above. Next, you go to the table and replace the forced deck with another, prepared in advance, and put the forced deck in a hidden table drawer or hide it behind some object on the table. You must prepare your second deck specially. Wrap the last six cards with a silk thread, which will go around them from below and above in the same way as the back compartment cards in the previous description of this trick. You need to make a knot on the thread, which is fastened to the bottom edge of the sixth card. This knot will prevent the thread from slipping and will not prevent the card from being separated from it. When the trick is over, you can calmly give the spectators the cards to examine. In doing this, of course, you are pulling a thread from a deck of cards. Sometimes you can not use a special stand for cards, but simply lean the deck against a carafe of water that is on the table, and put some object next to the deck so that it does not slide down. You can put the cards on the handle of an ordinary broom, on the floor, and at the end of the trick, break it on your lap. It seems to us that this trick without a stand only benefits, and as a support for the deck it is good to use a transparent glass cup, which can be given to the audience to inspect before or after the trick. Spectators, unaware that the deck has been replaced, are usually very surprised to see the moving cards. Perhaps you yourself have already guessed that the offended dignity of a queen (lady) who refuses to come out when treated too familiarly is explained by the fact that you or your assistant do not pull the thread until the offender becomes more respectful. The case of the jack appearing initially feet first, and then invisibly turning over into its usual position, is explained by the use of two jacks, of which the first (i.e., the back one) is placed upside down, and the second (separated from the first by any card) in the usual position. To send back an indecent jack and demand that he behave, you actually push that card not into its place, but between the cards in the front of the deck, moving the string out of the way and pushing the second jack out. To take advantage of this situation, you must take old-style cards with full-length images of kings, queens and jacks. In order for the card to rise and fall, a lead plate is fixed at its bottom edge, between the front and back sides. The card, weighted in this way, lowers itself when the thread is loosened and, therefore, can, at your request, either fall or rise, and sometimes can be thrown out of the deck altogether. You can turn an eight into a seven or a seven into a six. Suppose that one of the cards drawn was the seven of spades, and when called, the eight of spades appears instead. You apologize for the mistake and touching the card with your sword instantly turns it into a seven. This transformation is carried out by gluing (with beeswax) a spades icon to the corresponding place in the regular seven of spades. You simply take the intended eight in one hand and then transfer it to the other. In this case, with the hand that initially held the card, you remove the extra icon, holding the card face down. Then you simply touch it with a sword or a magic wand and demonstrate to everyone the wonderful transformation.
You can make cards rise without special devices and forced cards. You have someone choose a card, and when it is returned to the deck, use a volt to move it to the top. Then follows a complex shuffle, in which the top card does not change its position. Now you again offer to take a new card to another spectator. When this is done, before the card is returned, you make a volt to move the first card to the middle of the deck. Therefore, when the second card is returned, it covers the first, then a new volt follows - and both cards end up on top of the deck. You do the same with the third card chosen by another spectator. All three cards chosen are now at the top of the deck, with the last one chosen being the topmost one. You ask each of those who chose, starting with the last one, to name their card and, holding the deck vertically in your right hand with the thumb on one side, and the ring and little fingers on the other edge, with the back facing you, force the cards to rise using the index and middle fingers of your right hand. These fingers should be slightly moistened beforehand. If the cards are turned face to face to the spectators, then they simply cannot see that the cards are not rising from the middle of the deck. This description of the trick turned out to be very long, but it is the nuances described that constitute the essence of magic. If sometimes everything was clear to a savvy reader in advance, then we were guided by the consideration that everything should be extremely clear in the description for any reader, because one unclear point nullifies all our work.
