Aldo Colombini - Four Cast
PDF version, compiled by
EFFECT
Four cards are placed on the table. A card is selected and signed. The card on the table
reveal the selection and one turns out to be THE selection! The seed for this effect was
planted by my friend
Peter Duffie.
The trick remains quite similar. The main feature, added
by yours truly, changes it so that now you do not have to know the selection in advance as
you did in the original version.
PERFORMANCE
Openly take out four cards from the deck leaving them face down on the table. Be sure that
the spectators do not see the f aces of these cards and be sure they see that there is only
four. These cards must be: Any face down ODD, RED SPOT card (say the Five of Hearts); on
top of this place any face down ODD, BLACK SPOT card (say the Nine of Spades); on top of
these two cards place any face down EVEN, RED OR BLACK SPOT card (say the Four of
Diamonds) and on top of these three cards place any face down FACE card (say the Jack of
Clubs).
Have a card selected, noted, SIGNED ON THE FACE and replaced. Control the signed card on
the top. Palm it and upon picking up the four table cards, add the palmed card on top..
Leave the deck aside and take the face card packet face down in the left hand.
Say that the four cards placed on the table before the selection are four predictions and they
will help find the selected one. While you are pattering,
Buckle
the bottom card and keep
this card separated from the others at the inner short side.
Ask if the selected card is black or red. If RED, release the
break and slide off the bottom card with the right hand,
turning it face up on top of the left hand cards. Show that
this card is red, then turn it face down and discard it on
top of the deck. If BLACK, slide the SECOND card from
the bottom. This is accomplished by performing a
Buckle
of the bottom card so that the right hand can remove the
second from the bottom card by pulling toward you (as shown
below
). Turn the card face
up on top of the packet, then place it face down on top of the deck. The first prediction card
was correct.
Next, ask if the card was odd or even. If ODD, slide the bottom card off and turn it face up
on top of the left hand cards, then turn it face down and deal it onto the deck. If EVEN, slide
off the SECOND card from the bottom, turn it face up and then face down on top of the
deck. Now ask if the card was a spot or a face card. If a SPOT card, the left thumb slides off
the top card into the left hand as the right hand grips the packet from above and retains the
other two cards as one. Turn these two cards as one face up onto the left hand card and
show a spot card, then turn the two cards face down and place BOTH on top of the deck. If
the card was a FACE card, the left thumb slides off the top card into the left hand and the
right hand places the remaining two cards as one on top. then turn over the top card of the
packet to show a face card. Turn it face down and place the top two cards as one on the
deck.
Say the fourth card will point out where the selected card is. Ask for the name of the
selected card. Surprise! Turn the card over and there it is! Apparently the selected card was
place on the table BEFORE it was selected!
