Out of Mine - Max Maven

Out of Mine is an effect created by Max Maven which is a simpler version of Dai Vernon's "Out of Sight, Out of Mind". It is explained in Kayfabe Disc 2.

Effect:
The cards are shuffled by a spectator. Then the participant is asked to remember one card as cards are shown to him one at a time from the top of the deck. After a number of cards have been shown, the participant is asked if he has a card (the participant says yes).

As the magician shuffles the cards he says "I will mix the cards, and I will show them to you again and this time when you see that card, the one you are thinking of, I want you to think stop. Don't say it, but think stop." He then starts showing cards one at a time. He then says "did you think stop"?

1) The participant says yes.

The magician hands the deck to the participant, then starts to take cards from the top one at a time. At some point he stops and asks the participant to reveal his card. The magician then turns over the thought of card.

Method:
"So, I want to play a game of psychology involving a deck of cards, and you. I will begin by having the deck shuffled, but we'll let the lady do it. From now until the end, I will not look at the face of any card, but you will see some cards."

The magician gets the shuffled pack back.

"I will show you the cards slowly one by one and I want you to decide on one card that you see, but don't tell me which one. Alright."

The magician then shows six cards one by one to the participant.

"Do you have one? Oh good"
---
"Even if I had been standing behind you looking over your shoulder I would not know which card you are now thinking of correct? Yeah, I think that is very fair. I will mix the cards and I will show them to you again and this time when you see that card, the one you are thinking of, I want you to think stop. Don't say it, but think stop. And I will try to feel when you are thinking stop and I will try to stop on that card. Pretty good? I hope so."

While saying the above script the magician does the following shuffles:

Use an injog shuffle to present the appearance that you are shuffling when in actuality the six cards are still on top.

Shuffle three cards then drop the deck on top (Now three of the six cards the participant could have thought of are on the bottom, three on top).

Shuffle off the top three cards, then six more, then drop the remaining pack behind these cards (Now you have six indifferent cards on the top followed by three of the six possibly thought of cards. The other three possible thought of cards are on the bottom of the deck).
---
Magician begins showing cards to the participant one at a time from the top of the deck. He hesitates a little around the 7th, 8th, and 9th cards (the three possible thought of cards) then shows two or three more cards.

"Did you think stop?

1) Participant says yes

"Yes, I hesitated at that point, but I wasn't completely sure. Let me try something"

Performance and tutorial




Order of Aces top to bottom, face up: hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades.

1. Get a break under the top card of the face down spot cards. Place the face up aces on top, picking up the extra card. Thumb off and turn over each ace one at a time onto the packet. When you get to the ace of spades (double card), place face up on the packet, then thumb it off onto the table. From right to left, place three cards down onto the table as if they were the other three aces. In actuality you put down a spot card, the ace of clubs and  the ace of diamonds.

A stack is a specific, intentional ordering of cards. A “stacked deck” can be partial (some of the cards are arranged in a stack) or full (all of the cards are so arranged).

Mentalism vs Mental Magic

An excerpt from Bob Cassidy's "Principia Mentalia":

The Difference Between Mentalism and Mental Magic

Both mentalism and mental magic are forms of entertainment. Neither is more inherently entertaining than the other.

...Mental magic and most theatrical magic are indistinguishable. Both are obviously illusions or special effects, which are visually or intellectually interesting, but nonetheless are generally perceived to be tricks by even marginally intelligent audiences.
HOW TO TELL IF YOU ARE DOING MENTAL MAGIC OR MENTALISM:

Pay attention to what audiences generally ask after seeing you perform. Do they ask things like:

“How is that done?’
“Can you show me another trick?”
“My five year old has a birthday coming up, what do you charge?”

If your answer is “yes,” you are doing mental magic, which is best described as “effects with a mind reading theme, which are, nonetheless, perceived to be magic tricks.” They do not create the illusion of the “real thing.”

If, on the other hand, you have succeeded in creating the illusion of mentalism, you will receive responses like these:

“Did you learn that somewhere, or is it something you were born with?”
“How did you know that?” (as opposed to “How did you DO that?”)
“Get away from me, man. Don’t be messin’ with my head!”

Mentalism and mental magic, then, are different forms of entertainment. Both elicit different perceptions and reactions from an audience. The mentalist, therefore, has an ethical responsibility unknown to the conjuror or mental magician, for he is in a position to make people believe in, and rely upon, to their detriment, his alleged powers.

Feel (Peter Nardi)

The effect:
The participant is shown seven cards with words of various things small enough to be held in one's hands. The cards are cut are given a cut or two. Then, from a face down spread, one card is selected. The participant is asked to cup his hands and imagine they are holding the item. The mentalist ponders for a moment then seemingly through some form of mystical inspiration is able to reveal what card was selected.
