80-Simple Card Divination 
0:00 - 4:59 Forcing the 7 of spades
1) Pete pulls out a random card from a shuffled deck which happens to be the 7 of spades
Pete: "So I want you to imagine there's a large number 3 written on the back of this card. Now you stare at that number 3 for a few seconds. If I asked you, do you believe there's a number 3 on the face of this card what would you say?"

Participant: "Probably not"

Pete: "Well no, because why would I do that. But what I've done there is to show you how easy it is to envision a number on the back. So for now look down think (snaps fingers) of the first number that pops in your head. Got one (touches shoulder). What is it"

Participant: "Seven"

Pete: "Seven right. And again that's genuinely the first one that just popped into there".

Pete: "So now we have a choice, you could have a red card or a black card, but look at me. Now I'm going to tell you if you take a guess at this, you'll probably be wrong. So just look at me, name a suite at random, what is it?"

Participant: "Spades"

Pete: "Seven of Spades" Then reveals the seven of spades.

2) Shows a subtly where if he was pulling the seven of spades out of the deck, he would place the 3 of hearts on the bottom then give the pack back to the participant face up.

Pete: "Keep hold on these" "Now in a moment I'm going to ask you to follow me. Now it's essential you don't think of this card (pointing to the 3 of hearts). Now just name the first number that pops into your head"...

3) What if the suite is wrong

Pete: "Now if you were to guess, you'd probably be wrong. So just name a suite at random, go"

Participant: "Hearts"

Pete: "Now what did I say to you, if you were to guess it would be wrong and it's completely wrong" (you say and it's completely wrong because you want them to switch colors)."What color do you genuinely feel it is?"

Participant: "Black"

Now you can use the Tom (something) principle or equivique

4) Equivoque to pick suite @3:30
Pete: "Now you just have to select a suite and the way we're going to do this is through a process of elimination, I have reds or blacks, take one, which one are you taking?"

Participant: "Blacks"

Pete: "So you've taken the blacks, are you sure you're happy with that?"

Participant: " yes"

Pete: "So you have club or spade, what I want you to do is just pass me one of them. Which is it?

Participant: "passing you the clubs"

Pete: "Clubs. Is that what you want to use? Happy?

Participant: "Yes"

What if participant gives opposite answers?
Pete: "Now you just have to select a suite and the way we're going to do this is through a process of elimination, I have reds or blacks, take one, which one are you taking?"

Participant: "Reds"

Pete: "Good, so that leaves us with the black cards. So we have the club or the spade. Were going to do things slightly differently. Just imagine taking a club or a spade and handing me one, which do you hand me."

Participant: "Spade"

Pete: "Good, so you got rid of the reds, then you got rid of the spade leaving the clubs."

@5:00 Another version/example



@5:55 Forcing Suite
"Now if you take a guess here you'll probably be wrong"

Mind Games

Equivoque to force the suite color

Say you are trying to force the reds. "Now we have the reds or the blacks" holds hands up as if holding these imaginary options. "Take one from me" 

If they choose red then you go with that as the selection. If they take the black then you say "that leaves me with the reds".
