Card Sharp, Magician, and Mentalism

Can anyone give me some ideas for presenting the effect performed by Adrián Vargas on Got Talent? It's done with an Al-Koran deck.

Hi there,

That's the whole secret: the Al Koran deck.

I performed this at a friend's party recently, and it was a huge hit (they were totally blown away, as they say in Spain). The only thing is that back then, I was a bit hesitant to show the Al Koran (honestly, I still am a little nervous about it), so I thought about having the spectator roll 5 dice (which gives a great impression of randomness) and then finding the card by its position. After a few cuts, the card gets lost, and no one suspects you could possibly know where it is. I had previously used a short card to make the final cut and set everything up for the spelling routine.

I did the part where you produce the four aces, but I produced them from the bottom. That's optional, though; it just depends on how you stack your deck. The main thing is that at the end, you should have 10 cards left and the series of cards you want to force.

The rest takes care of itself.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
