DESCRIPTION
The British magician and mentalist, Jack Yates, developed this ingenious, self-working mental card feat in the mid-1950s, also known as “Ingenio.” Both the handling and effect are straightforward, and do not require the spectator to take a card, return it, etc. Instead, a spectator is asked to merely think of any card in the deck. While he is doing this, you riffle shuffle the deck, which may be borrowed, several times. The spectator then follows some brief instructions you provide, while your back is turned. At the conclusion, you take back the cards and dramatically reveal the one he has in mind. Our new five-page manuscript covers Jack Yates' original handling along with additional information, handling and practice tips.
