The “Out Of This World” card trick has long been acclaimed the world’s greatest card effect. However, in the standard version, the deck must be set before hand. In the following routine you can present this outstanding effect anytime, anywhere, with a borrowed and shuffled deck. No advance preparation is necessary. This can be a real reputation maker. To the spectators, they do the impossible! Effect: Effect: A red and a black card are placed face up on the table. The performer then removes cards, one at a time from the deck. Without the spectator s pectator seeing the faces of these cards, he indicates whether he thinks a card is a red or a black. If he thinks it is a red card, the performer places it, face down, on the face up red card. If the spectator thinks it is a black card, the performer places it face down on the face up black card. When the cards are finally turned face up, it is found that the spectator was 100% correct, he successfully called the correct color of each and every card! c ard! Method: After Method: After having the deck thoroughly shuffled by a spectator, take the deck and fan it with the faces towards you. Remove one red and one black card and place them face up on the table, about eight to ten inches apart. Remove a red card from the deck and ask the spectator if he thinks it is a red or a black card. Which ever color he names, lay the card, face down, on the face up card of that color on the table. In laying the cards down, they should overlap, lengthwise, forming a row. Continue removing red cards from the deck and lay them face down as directed by the spectator. This is continued until you have about six face down cards on each face up card. Now, remove a red card from the deck and lay it face up on what is supposed to be the black pile. Remove a black card and lay it face up on the red pile. Tell the spectator that you are going to try and confuse him by switching piles. The cards he calls red will go on the former black pile and the cards he calls black will go on the former red pile. Now you remove black cards only from the deck and proceed to lay them out as directed by the spectator. Continue with this until you have laid out about six more cards on each pile. Then place the rest of the deck aside. Point to the row of cards with the face up red card at the top and ask the spectator to check it and see how successful he was in correctly calling the reds and blacks. While he is doing this, you scoop up the other row of cards and transfer the face up black card from the top of the packet to the bottom and then square the cards up. When the spectator finishes checking the first pile, hand him the second pile to check. All cards beneath the black card will be black and those below the red card will be red.
Just one trial will convince you of the great value of this impromptu presentation of “Out Of This World.” An Addition
Since publishing the original instructions for this amazing and bewildering effect, two very excellent additions have come along which greatly enhance the overall effect. Addition No. 1: 1: This addition is used when you have reached the point described in paragraph 7 of the original instructions. We will assume that several black cards have been placed down on the table. Now, you will find among the cards you are holding groups of black cards together, due to the removal of a number of reds. Remove a solid group of these blacks, perhaps six or eight, and hand them face down to the spectator, asking him to place them one at a time on which ever pile he thinks they should go. He does this, of course, without looking at their faces. Handing the spectator a block of cards, apparently removed at random, will add greatly to the effect. Finish as usual. Addition No. 2: As 2: As described in the original instructions, paragraph 9, one of the rows of cards must be picked up and one card secretly transferred from the top to the bottom of the packet. Jim Wheeler has given us an excellent improvement on this. We shall call it the J. W. Turnover. After the spectator has checked the pile with the face up red card at the top, you scoop up all of the cards in the other pile except the face up black card at the top of the pile. The cards are then squared up and, in on continuous motion, turned over, placed on the face up black card on the table and ribbon spread – revealing blacks on black and reds on red! This is a beautiful move and very deceptive. It completely eliminates and ‘secret’ manipulation of face up cards.
