This variation is powerful because it doesn’t require you to learn a new method—it simply takes the method you already learnt and applies it in a clever new way to ‘level up’ the routine.
- Completely impromptu
- No deck switch required
- Uses the same method as the first
Phase 3: Spectator Does It
The effect begins similarly, but has a twist…
This time, as the cards are below the table, you have the spectator try to sense the colors of the cards. To their astonishment, they’re right every time. Next, you ask them if they can sense the suit of the cards. Once again, they’re right EVERY time!
In this effect, you can either immediately show that the spectator guessed correctly, or you can place the cards face down in different piles based on their guess and then reveal at the end.
The second way of handling the reveal makes this routine feel very much like an Out of This World plot, but it has the benefit of requiring zero packet switching and the spectator can turn over the piles themselves!
Disclaimer: This variation is NOT easy.
Phase 4: Hidden Patterns
In this variation, you perform the classic color sense routine but with some very impressive conditions…
- The spectator shuffles the deck
- Once they shuffle, you don’t even look at the faces of the cards
- Doesn’t require a marked deck
Phase 5: Experimental Ideas
In this phase, we go over a bunch of ideas for how you can increase the impact of this routine by combining techniques we teach in previous phases with a powerful tool that many magicians already use.
Imagine this:
You shuffle and place the cards under the table. The spectator guesses the colors of the cards, proving correct every time.
Next, they start guessing the suit, once again guessing correctly every time.
Next, you ask them to guess the VALUE of the card. Believe it or not, they also guess correctly every time!
You end by having them guess the entire identity of the card—and they of course guess correctly.
This variation is not easy, and may look different each time you perform it, but the above is 100% possible with the techniques taught.
All of the above 5 phases are taught in the 93-minute runtime Kaleidoscope Project—the ultimate resource for magicians who want to master this routine.
