Hi everyone,
This is something that happened to me about three days ago that I'd like to share.
So I was watching TV and a commercial came up saying the Derren Brown Show would be on at 8pm. I'd already seen that episode twice the previous day but I figured I'd watch it again.Don't judge me! There was a change of plans though, I had to go out to my mom's friends house.
So we went there, I walked in, noticed the TV on in the kitchen,on the same channel as where the Derren Brown show airs.
After a while,They asked me to perform some magic. I did a couple of tricks, it went well. Then they popped the question. " Do you do anything other than card magic?"(IDK why, but I get that alot). Normally, I go into some coin stuff when people ask me that. But then, I had an idea...I thought It'd never work but I figured I'd give it a try. I could see the TV from where I sat. So I said, "let me try something, its sort of freaky...it does use cards though." They said OK.
I asked the lady whose house we were at pick a card, she did. I then proceeded to do the fakest of fake coughs. Everyone was very confused. The situation was sort of like this.
cough cough cough. *Normal-straight face* I think I need some water. cough cough cough. *straight face* Excuse me. I'll Be right back. cough "Dont forget your card" I stood up and started walking towards the kitchen still fake coughing periodically.
The lady told me to sit and offered to get me some water. I gave her, what seemed like a 'Thank you' smile. but it was really a 'HOLY CRAP, THIS JUST MIGHT WORK' smile.
So, she went in. I stopped coughing, sat back down and looked at her. She got a glass out, looked at the TV. Turned around and came out.
With an empty glass and a look of complete amazement on her face. Everyone asked her what happened. She said..."The TV...there was a card-exactly like those" she said pointing at the cards, (I assume she meant the backs were the same.)
"and then the person turned it over and it was the same as mine - the three of diamonds."Is it still there?" the others asked. "I don't know" she said. Her husband went into the room to look at the TV, just as he stood up...the room got dark. The electricity had cut off, in just a few seconds, it came back on. Her husband and daughter went into the room, the TV came on and went back to channel #1, they looked through the channels to see where the show was...but couldn't find anything that seemed like It would have cards on it.
Her husband seemed like he thought it was a coincidence. I couldn't really tell what her daughter thought But that one lady was ASTOUNDED It was really a great experience. The timing was perfect, of the card turning over AND the lights going off. Haha. It was really...awkward. But thats what made it awesome.
