Card Trick Over the Phone - The Mentalist

Performing magic card trick with your friends or audiences in the same place is normal. But if I tell you that there are some card tricks that you can perform over the phone, will you believe me? Well, you might think that it's impossible. But actually, it is possible. Besides, it is so easy and even you can do it.

I have one magic trick which can be performed over the phone. It's called The Mentalist. You can present this at your next party.

Tell your audiences in the room that you have a friend who is probably the best mind reader in the world today. He reads thought waves, brain waves, and is an ESP expert. You wish he were here this evening, but you have his phone number and you would like to test him to see if he can use his telepathy long distance.

Then, you select one of the audience to be your spectator. After that, you spread the cards onto the table, face up and have your spectator select a card. You have seen this card along with everyone else in the room. Let us say, for example, that the chosen card was the Four of Diamonds.

You then say: "Let's all be quiet, and no one mention the Four of Diamonds. I'll call my friend and you can speak with him. When you get him, ask him to tell you what card we picked. I'll dial, it's an unlisted number."

Naturally the party you're going to call should know the trick. He can be a close friend or perhaps a member of your family. Dial the number and when he answers, you say: "May I speak to the Mentalist?"

This is the code and he knows that you are doing the trick. He will then begin to name the four suits slowly. As soon as he names the right one (Diamonds, in this case), you stop him by saying: "Hello Mentalist?"

He will now list the cards quickly, Ace, two, three, four..., you will interrupt as soon as he has named the correct card. "Hold on for a moment, please."

Hand the phone to the spectator in the room who has chosen the card. He will ask the Mentalist for the name of his card. Have your friend tell him the name but he should do it in stages, such as: "You have chosen a red-faced card. I believe it is a Diamond. A rather low card. Please concentrate. I think it is the Four of Diamonds. Thank you for calling."

He will hang up immediately. The shock is a good one, but under no circumstances offer to repeat this card trick. And do not disclose the number you dialed.
