Fantastric - Bob Hummer
An unfathomable Bob Hummer card mystery! It begins with the magician being handed a thoroughly shuffled, borrowed deck to accomplish his miracle - a deck he only touches briefly at the beginning and the end of the trick. The rest of the time, he merely directs the action with his back turned, unable to see anything the spectator is doing. During this time, the spectator is given every opportunity to thwart the magician by secretly removing and hiding cards, repeatedly shuffling, and even moving random numbers of cards from one part of the deck to the another. By the end of the procedure, the magician’s task seems insurmountable and it’s beyond comprehension to anyone watching how the magician could possibly have even the slightest inkling of where the spectator’s card might be located. And yet, despite all of these “self-inflicted” obstacles, the magician prevails and locates the spectator’s card. Fantastric is a true reputation-maker, great for parties, and one your audience will be talking about long after more ho-hum, take-a-card tricks are forgotten. All you require is the secret and a borrowed deck. Absolutely no gimmicks, marks, extra cards, sleights, etc. 5 typeset pages.
