The Destiny Effect by Michael Kras
A Prediction That's As Personal As It Is IMPOSSIBLE!
Want an effect that your audience will remember for a very long time? This just might be what you're looking for!
Imagine this: A spectator, we'll call her Marilyn, thinks of ANY card in the deck. It is a legitimate free choice. The magician tells Marilyn that he had a strange dream that may or may not have involved her, and when he woke up, he grabbed the nearest deck of cards as well as a Sharpie and spent the rest of the night with them.
The magician removes a deck of cards, the very same one he spent the night altering. For the first time, Marilyn names the card she's been merely thinking of: The Jack of Clubs. AMAZING! That's the card that she named in the magician's dream! Not impressive, right? Well, not yet.
The Jack of Clubs is then removed from the deck, and the magician reveals that the back of every single card in the deck has a different name written on it... Andrew, Tanya, Sam, Richard, Colin, Jessica, Sarah...
Suddenly, the circumstances become all too clear. The tabled Jack of Clubs is turned over. There is one name printed on the back, in indelible ink.
Marilyn.
THE DESTINY EFFECT is a time-tested performance piece for the magician or mentalist that works as well for walkaround and close up as it does for parlour and stage. In this detailed manuscript, you'll learn how to construct your own Destiny Deck in no time at all with just a deck of cards and a Sharpie, as well as multiple handlings and ideas for the effect itself and contributions from other magicians.
KEEP IN MIND:
- No secret writing.
- No pre-show work.
- No forcing.
- No gimmicks.
- No sleight of hand.
- The deck is normal and completely examinable.
Magic doesn't get much more personal, intimate, or memorable than The Destiny Effect!
