Poz's That's Embarrassing

Photograph to come

£8

The magician introduces himself to a spectator and asks if they will help with a trick. The cards are shown to be all different and the spectator has a free choice. The card is returned to the pack . The magician states that a card will turn face up in the pack and spreads them face down to show that one card is face up (say 10 of Spades).

The spectator states that is not the chosen card to which the magician responds ‘That’s embarrassing’. The magician apologises and asks if the spectator will help him further. The spectator’s name is spelt and the next card is turned over to reveal that it is the card the spectator chose.

The magician again apologises for not finding the card the first time and says it is not only the magician who is embarrassed when the trick goes wrong but the cards get embarrassed as well. Reminding the spectator that the chosen card was the 10 of Spades, the magician spreads the cards to show that the card is not there. The card is removed from the card case that has been on the table from the start.

The cards are returned to the case and are immediately reset ready to perform again.
