Hi Everyone,
So I created this thread because, as you know, I need your help. I am a junior in high school and I have prom this spring. As many of you would know, prom is a big deal and often times a lot of playing goes into it. So, here is where I need your help-I always wanted to come up with a great way to ask a girl to prom and the other day I had a great idea for performing a card trick to ask her.
The Trick:
My idea was to perform a three-part ambitious card routine with an erdnase color change at the end. I was going to have the girl I want to ask be the spectator I performed the trick on. I would force a card (most likely the queen of hearts) and have her sign her name on the edges (first name on one, last name on other). I would also have a duplicate of the card and in the same area as her name, I would have "will you go to prom with me" split up and written there. So, I will go through the ACR, and at the end I will reveal that her card has risen to the top with a double lift. Her card will be the top of the turned over double and under it with be the duplicate. From here, I will do the color change revealing that I changed her name that she wrote to the question. I will do a clean up, hand her her card to read while I simultaneously have a friend hand me a bouquet of flowers behind me back, and I reveal those.
Final Thoughts:
In my head, this seems like it can be a strong routine and possibly stronger. I would be performing in class, so I will have everyone around watching as I do the trick. This is a psychological technique that may make or break the trick. With everyone around, the girl will have pressure on her to answer the question. Majority of the time, when pressure is added, the likelihood of getting the desired result increases; this would therefore increase the chances of getting a "yes" theoretically.
So after you read this, please be a kind soul and give me some feedback. I would love to hear any additional ideas and/or things to make the routine stronger.
Thank You,
Anthony
