So i created a trick recently that i really like. Its been playing really well for laymen and i just really enjoy doing it. I wanted to know if its been done before.
Essentially what i do is (from a shuffled possibly borrowed pack) have four cards freely selected and placed down on the table (no switches). Then i have a fifth card selected and lost in the pack (for the sake of arguement lets say its the king of diamonds). I then pick up the four cards and proceed to turn over the first card which would be the three of hearts (for example) and i say that it tells me that your card was red. I turn over the next card and its the 7 of diamonds which tells me that there card is a diamond. I then turn over the next card and its the king of clubs which tells me their card is a king. I say "so i know you're card is the king of diamonds you're probably wondering what the last card tells me. Well it just confirms the information the other three gave me because it is your card" as i flip it over.
The thinking behind this came from practicing chad longs trick "oh no you didn't" which employs a deminishing lift sequence. I've always loved the deminishing lift sequence, and i still use it, but sometimes it feels a little hokey and tongue in cheekish. But as i was doing it over and over I realized that it would be a great trick if you somehow could really do what you say you're doing. And i thought about it for a while and came up with this.
Credit to gary broome (garyb) for telling me to try and do it without a switch which eventually inspired the final/current method. I just want to know if anyone has seen/heard of this effect. Thanks in advance. Oh and i'm trusting that no one will try to steal this idea so please don't
