Bye-bye.
So here we go, I now have
a new anonymous volunteer.
There we go.
I'm going to go through the deck of cards.
At any point, volunteer, you can say stop.
Just motion for me to stop.
Wherever you say stop,
that will be your card.
So, I riffle through the
deck, you just say stop.
Here we go!
Right there, that is your card.
You take that card and you
show it to your friends.
I'll look away.
Now, I want you to hold onto that card,
don't let me see it, press
it against your chest.
Great.
You see, I'm going to make a prediction.
I'm going to write down
a prediction right here.
Think of your card picture your card,
picture what your card looks like.
Maybe you say the name of your card
over and over again in your head.
I am writing down one answer.
And let me see, let's see,
I believe your card is,
Let's try this.
I am committed to this,
the name of your card
is the three of diamonds.
The three of diamonds, is your
card the three of diamonds?
What?
Show it to your friends
again just to be sure.
They're saying it's not
the three of diamonds.
Well, all you have to do is look closer.
Look closer at the board
as I give it a little wipe.
And you'll see that I actually predicted
that your card is
the 10 of hearts.
The 10 of hearts.
And that is magic.
The secret to the dry
erase board card trick.
It all relies on the
forces that I showed you
earlier in the skill set.
And all you have to do is force a card.
You're going to be
forcing the 10 of hearts.
Before you even prepare to do this trick,
there are a couple other
things that you need.
You need an erasable board,
you need an erasable marker,
and you need a permanent marker.
Okay, so what you do
is I take the erasable
marker and I write out
the name of the card is.
And that's all you have to
write, the name of the card is.
Then you erase the T and the E from the,
the N from name, of, H-E, the A-R,
and the top part there of the I of is,
becomes a T, and the S.
Then you take your permanent marker
and you replace those letters.
Okay, this is what happens.
You force the 10 of hearts.
You force the 10 of hearts, and remember,
three different methods,
let's go over them real quick.
I either go through the
cards and they say stop,
I have the 10 of hearts on the
top of the deck in this case.
Okay, here we go, I go
through, they say stop.
Good, I pick up the card,
sliding the top one off,
I let them take that top card.
So let's do it one more time.
10 of hearts is on the top,
I go through, they say stop.
Good, I pick up that packet, pull it out,
pressure forces that card
onto the top of the deck,
10 of hearts.
I have them hold onto it,
I have them keep it against
themselves, all right?
It's a lot more exciting that way.
You pick up the erasable board,
you don't let them see
that it already says
10 of hearts on it.
You just fill in the
blanks, you fill them in.
So I fill in the H in the.
Now, you might notice
that the erasable board
is a little dirty.
I keep it that way, so
that it kind of, it just
hides some of the dirty work,
it's more convincing, just trust me.
I think it looks better, but anyways.
The name of the card is,
I added the little piece,
and you right any card you want.
I try to write something
totally different.
So maybe we put two and draw a diamond.
Doesn't matter, whatever you want.
If I redid this, by the way,
I'd leave a bigger gap here
so that everything was the same.
I wanted the name of the card to be huge,
because I do this on stage, actually.
So you recap,
you show the board, the
name of the card is,
you ask them, the name of the
card is the two of diamonds?
No, what, I messed up!
Show it again to your friends.
They do that.
This way, I do this for a reason,
so that they can see
their card being shown
with my prediction.
Then you just grab a
napkin or a paper towel,
and you can use whatever excuse you want.
You say, you're not looking close enough.
You see, you rub, and what
happens is when you rub
you're just rubbing off the erasable part.
And you are left with 10 of hearts.
10 of hearts, there you go.
Now, a couple little tips for you.
One, there's a little known principle,
a little unknown principle
actually, of markers.
If you get erasable ink
on top of permanent ink,
it takes it off.
So if you ever accidentally
write on an erasable board
with permanent ink, you just
trace over it a few times
with the erasable ink, the
non-permanent, the dry erase,
and wipe over it and it will wipe off.
So you want to be careful not to go over
top of these letters when
you're writing out again.
Because you'll get little pieces,
there's a little piece
missing on some of mine.
Especially on this one, because
I made the line too high.
So this is one way to do it.
Another way to do this, that
I used to do at restaurants,
same exact thing,
but I can write it on glass.
If you take a permanent
Sharpie and write on a glass,
like a cup that's on the table.
And write with the dry
erase on the same one,
same exact thing, you
write it on the side.
And when you pick up the drink cup
you act like you're writing it,
you have it written out already,
you flip the cup around,
you just rub the cup,
and it will come off, so
it's the same exact trick.
So there's a lot of different
ways you can do that.
But the 10 of hearts
is one of my favorites.
It's great, audiences
like it, give it a shot.
There you go, forcing a card
and a nice little revelation.
Have fun with that, bye.
