- REMOTE TELEPATHY
-
- At a party, bar or any kind of
- gathering, you approach someone and
- ask them to "pick a card, any card."
-
- It helps if you have a real deck, but
- in the event that you don't, you can
- use an imaginary deck of cards.
-
- Whichever method is used, be sure and
- play it up, use a little flash. If you
- are using an imaginary deck, act as if
- you have a real one. Make your victim
- actually pick a card from the "deck"
- that you just flushed and fanned.
-
- Have the person who picked the card
- announce it to the crowd or even write
- it down.
-
- You then go to the phone, dial a
- number, and ask to speak to "Glablock
- the Great," or "The Wizard" or "The
- Sorceress."
-
- Whatever.
-
- You then say, "Sorceress, there is
- someone here holding a card." Hand the
- phone to your victim and watch their
- face as "The Sorceress" tells them
- their card.
-
- If you want to really impress them,
- make it a long distance number that
- you dial.
-
- I've watched people look for hidden
- microphones and bugs, check for extra
- phone lines etc, trying to figure
- this one out.
-
- Here's how you do it.
-
-
- For this one you need what is called a
- "Confederate." A confederate is a
- friend who knows the routine. You can
- be confederates for each other and
- reverse roles whenever the opportunity
- presents.
-
- You use a very simple code. When you
- ask to speak to "Glabock The Great"
- (or whatever name or title you agree
- on). Your confederate starts counting
- down the cards . . . "Ace, King,
- Queen" and so forth. When they hit the
- number, you say, "Glablock The Great,"
- at which time they start counting
- down the suit, "Spade, Heart, Club,
- Diamond." When the correct suit is hit,
- you quickly say, "I have a person here
- holding a card." You then hand the phone
- to the victim who hears a mysterious
- voice say "You have the Jack of Hearts."
- Or whatever the card was. They then
- hang up.
-
- You're simply AMAZING!!
-
- Get this down pat and you can apply it
- to different things. Such as furniture
- in a room etc. Just don't use more
- than two variables in your code and
- remember the KISS principle. Keep It
- Simple Stupid.
-
- One hint; Try to pick a confederate
- that is home or by a phone on a fairly
- reliable basis.
