Okay, so i had a thought of another variation of the Biddle trick, mainly with revealing the card packet. Before when i used to reveal, i used to do some kinda "im going to throw your card back into the deck" with a bending motion like a bow and arrow. Then i thought about letting everything happen in the frame of the spectator's hands, so i decided to play around with dropping the packet face up, afterwards saying something like "your card falls through". When they spread they see it "did". But most of the times specs cant handle cards without a table, and they just destory the whole thing.
So i thought. I wanted to use a blank card when it came to revealing the card they chose. What would happen is, the 5 card packet would be in their hand, they focus on "forgetting" their card, and then when they spread, one card is blank. Which is their card. I wanted to try out a different reaction, requires limited handling of cards, in their hands, and a one v one kinda thing. So this gaffed version would work best if i was performing specifically for one person.
But i need help, with the part telling them to "forget" their card. It could be powerful, because i thought, if they do manage to pretend to forget their card, lapse it, erase it out of their minds, take a fragment out and plant it elsewhere, when they reveal, they still see five cards, but one blanked out, which could further empower the aspect of forgetting, which could (if im lucky) making them really forget their card. Just wanted to try and play with people's mind, inspired by Dan and Dave's Deja Vu performance. I cant tell them to jus forget their card, i performed it for a kid, surrounded, using a ghost deck, and the dude made a facial expression of seriously trying to focus on forgetting the card, squinting eyes and trying to block out all noises and stuff, in the end it never worked because he didnt know how to forget the card. Jus telling somebody to forget the card seemed shallow. My friend suggested they erase it from the mind completely with something else. Maybe music, maybe experiences, or jus a total block out. Just need more suggestions if you can suggest any.
[So yeah. Blanks are cool. One time my friend performed a trick we call "Keepin it real" with three gaffs, invovling a double "mont ka" in the end, which involved a blank card. He had shaky hands, i saw all his moves, but i didnt see a double finisher comming. Was in my hands too.]
Help please kind ones?
