PRIME CUT
By Al Cohen
A deck of cards is brought forth along with a large manilla envelope. The envelope is placed on the table with no particular comment. It is just put down and left in full view. The deck is removed from its case and casually handled showing that the cards are all different. You patter about how gamblers, card sharks and mags can guess or estimate the number of cards contained in a sigle cut from the top of the deck. To illustrate, a challenge is presented to a spectator. He/she is asked to try to cut EXACTLY 26 cards in a single cut from the deck which is resting on the table. Upon completion of the cut the cards are counted face-down on the table (by you) to see how close he/she has come. Usually it will be within a few cards of 26. Whatever number is cut you will either add or subtract cards to make 26 in the hand. You now congratulate your helper for getting so close and offer him to try again. he is instructed to select one of the two piles and cut exactly to 13 (half of the pile). Again when you count the cards he will usually be within a card or two to thirteen cards (half the pile). At this point there are three piles on the table, one has 26 cards and two have 13 cards. Both smaller piles are spread face down on the table and spectator is allowed to select one card out of each spreads. The cards are turned face up The envelope on the table is opened and inside two Jumbo cards are found. They match the two selected cards!!! It’s simlicity itself…Examination of the deck will reveal the fact that the deck is not normal. You also receive two Jumbo cards in a manilla envelope that match the two force cards. Set up is easy.
INCLUDES: Complete Instructions, “Special” deck, 2 jumbo cards and un-gimmicked envelope. Released by Al Cohen
