You

then ask who chose the lowest number in the number selection. He holds the
predicted card against his head.

You turn around and using your wonderful powers of predigestation you predict
the card.

Card one on the table indicates the suit.

The rest code the difference between card 1 and the face down prediction.

1 = LMH
2 = LHM
3 = MLH
4 = MHL
5 = HLM
6 = HML

If two cards are of the same value then use the formula CHaSeD to indicate the
lowest to highest i.e. clubs to diamonds.





ACAAN

Start off with subliminal forces i.e. force 17 as number (seems common) and
Queen of Hearts or Ace of Spades at 17 and 18 respectively. Find most common
numbers and most common cards and put the cards at these numbers.

Secondly if it doesn’t work when you ask them what the name of the card is,
pretend it was just you demonstrating how the example works. Then proceed to
even be bold and try again to “see if they’ve got the hang of it” and to recap
and show them the next stage. If not again, then have them remove the card they
’re thinking of from the deck and go immediately into Barrie Richardson’s
ICAAN (utilising the half pass with the card 5th position from the top).

Tell them again that people suspect you of doing sleight of hand and despite the
fact that you tell them you were never good with your hands, but had a sharp wit,
they don’t believe you so in order to assure them that this is done fairly, you
keep the cards in the box and in their hands. You then proceed into Asi Wind’s
ACAAN from Chapter One, pull the cards out of the box and have them count
down to their card with astonishment. You explain the story of The Holy Grail of
Magic and David Berglas and how no one knows this and that it is regarded by
connosieurs as the greatest feat of all time. Build suspense with this story, show
them the wonders of magic – what fascinated you, even show them some
methods you learned and get their fascination of LEARNING magic and doing the
